Abstract
Alcoholic beverages are drunk by the consumer with a certain level of expectation, based upon the brands’ reputation. Up until the point of consumption they should have a consistent flavour, remain stable and be microbiologically sound. If this expectation is not met, the commercial implications can be significant.
