Diageo's latest Diage-woes

Plus: Sourced directly from the Slough of Despond!

Editor’s note: Welcome to The Fingers Weekender, a Sunday digest exclusively for paying Friends of Fingers featuring the independent journalism about drinking in America you love, optimized for hungover scrolling. In today’s edition:

• Distilled-base hard seltzer is devouring its fermented-base predecessor;

• Monster’s booze portfolio is no longer going Beast mode;

• Low-/no-alc wine spinoffs are incremental bets at best;

And much more. If someone forwarded this to you, buy a subscription to get next Sunday’s edition straight in your inbox.—Dave.
