Bartender preferences and consumer tastes differ from one country to the next. But one thing that doesn’t change across borders is that bartenders are making recommendations to consumers on what brands to drink. They know the most about local markets, and they’re in the driver’s seat to push trends and influence consumer decisions.

From Mexico City to Moscow

Bartender recommendations reflect regional differences and provide insight into category preference and consumer tastes across markets. The following time lapse shows the average number of recommendations a bartender gives per year for each category and how those recommendations differ across the globe, from Barcelona to Toronto.
