Scots reveal which drink they are most looking forward to after lockdown

There's no doubt Scots have been dreaming of ordering a round of drinks with friends at their local pub.

With lockdown still in full force across the country, a Saturday night on the town may seem like a distant memory.

Now research has revealed what tipples Scots are most looking forward to once the stay at home restriction have been lifted - and the results will surprise you.

Kaizen, a marketing agency, ran a consumer survey asking people in the UK what their first drink order is going to be after lockdown.

When it comes to alcohol, Scots have shunned much-loved Tennent's in favour of a glass of wine, and particular Pinot Grigio.

For non-alcoholic drinks, data shows the country is most excited about ordering a tea or coffee - so forget Irn Bru.

The results of the survey also show Scots are planning on spending a total of £16.24 on their first night out once lockdown measures are lifted compared to £19.62 in rest of the UK.

As for the UK as a whole, gin takes the top spot and is set to become the nation's most ordered drink after Covid-19.

This is closely followed by prosecco while a pint of Stella Artois takes third place.

Neil Harrison, founder of Chef and Master Distiller at Nelson’s distillery, said: “The explosion in the popularity of gin over the last five years can be attributed to the growing numbers of younger consumers who have been attracted by the adventurous range of flavours, engaging social media, and the direct to consumer activities of craft gin companies.

"These results are no surprise and mirror our own growth in online sales.

"We have sold four months of sales in April alone, which I think is a symptom of people spending a lot more time at home and in their gardens due to the sunny weather.

"We always see a marked increase in sales as the weather improves around May - August.”
