  • Diageo/ Ypióca

Drinks giant Diageo intends to use its marketing expertise to boost the image of cachaça, the Brazilian sugarcane spirit, and to increase sales of the Ypióca brand it bought five years ago.It is, however, taking longer than anticipated, partly because of economic recession, partly because of 2015 changes to Brazil’s alcohol taxation regime that pushed spirits prices up sharply, a combination that has driven many lower income drinkers to the bootleg market.Ypióca’s net sales only grew 5% in the year to June, but those of luxury “gold” darker blends grew significantly faster: sales of Ypióca Ouro, its main “gold” cachaça, were up 34% in the same period.Interest in cachaça is growing internationally as bartenders acclaim its versatility. It can be used in more than caipirinhas, Brazil’s national cocktail: a three-time International Bartender of the Year award winner points out it makes a good martini, for example. As well as supporting calls for more countries to recognise cachaça in their registries of geographical indications as a product of Brazilian origin, recruiting bartenders as advocates could be a useful strategy for Diageo to adopt.

Formula One has a global audience of about 400 million.Santander has an annual marketing budget of €450m, much of it going to the Spanish football league and Latin American football’s Copa Libertadores.
