Star-powered spirits: Liquor brands owned by celebrities

In today’s market, where convenience is the king, it's getting increasingly possible to get almost everything under the Sun home-delivered in urban India. But not the alcohol! Now, major players like <keyword id="19896956" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Swiggy" source="keywords">Swiggy</keyword>, Zomato, <keyword id="20069203" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Blinkit" source="keywords">Blinkit</keyword>, and BigBasket are eyeing this lucrative opportunity, ready to transform the way we enjoy our evenings (or feed our vices depending on how one takes it). As regulations offer hopes of loosening with the rising consumer demand, the question on everyone's mind is: will <keyword id="22432889" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="alcohol-home-delivery" source="keywords">alcohol home delivery</keyword> become the new norm? As per the media reports, the quick commerce platforms might soon start delivering low-alcohol drinks like beer, wine, and liqueurs, at least in some parts of the country. A report from the Economic Times reveals that states like New Delhi, Karnataka, Haryana, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Goa, and Kerala are thinking about trying out this service. Industry executives say that authorities are currently looking at the advantages and disadvantages of allowing alcohol deliveries. <h2>State authorities collecting feedback</h2>State authorities are reportedly collecting views from <keyword id="22432890" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="instant-delivery-platforms" source="Orion">instant delivery platforms</keyword> and spirit manufacturers for assessing the pros and cons of delivering low-alcohol liquors. "This is to cater to a growing expat population, especially in larger cities, changing profiles of consumers who perceive moderate alcohol-content spirits as recreational drinking along with meals, and women and senior citizens who have flagged buying from traditional liquor vends and shop-front experiences as unpleasant," one of the executives told Economic Times. According to the ET report, only Odisha and West Bengal allow home delivery of alcohol at the moment. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Assam also allowed it temporarily, and it was successful despite some restrictions and hurdles. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111758782" title="Zomato and Swiggy increase platform fee by 20% – food deliveries to get costlier" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>Enthusiasm grows across sectors</h2>Retail industry executives say that online alcohol deliveries have increased sales by 20-30% in West Bengal and Odisha. Although the idea of online home delivery of liquor faced several challenges including political backlash and pressure from physical retail bodies. For now Swiggy and Spencer’s retail delivers spirits in West Bengal. Dinker Vashisht, vice president of corporate affairs at Swiggy said “Online models ensure end-to-end transaction records, age verification and adhere to limits. Further, online tech stacks synchronise with regulatory and excise requirements, ensuring adherence to timings, dry days and zonal delivery guardrails” Beer manufacturers like United Breweries and AB InBev are also interested in this concept, an industry executive told ET. “Beer blends more with grocery shopping, especially for consumers in big cities, and needs to be chilled, which limits its visibility in liquor vends.” In 2020, AB InBev started Beerbox, a platform that listed places delivering alcohol within a 3-4 km range. This was after Maharashtra temporarily allowed home deliveries during the pandemic. Overall, as regulations, consumer demand, and the capacity of online quick-commerce platforms align, the days of cancelling the evening plans to avoid stepping out to buy alcohol might soon be behind us.

Whisky maker Allied Blenders IPO to open on June 25 as it looks to raise ₹1,500 crore

Under New Jersey law, it's only after sentencing that a liquor license can be revoked for a felony conviction.A new date for the liquor-license-revocation hearing has not yet been set, according to officials with the state attorney general's office, which runs the state's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.A spokesperson said Friday's now canceled hearing had been timed to take place a week after Trump's hush-money sentencing, originally set for July 11.But Trump's sentencing is now September 18, a delay that gives his lawyers and Manhattan prosecutors time to fight over what impact, if any, the Supreme Court's presidential-immunity opinion has on the criminal case.Trump's side is trying to get the hush-money case tossed in its entirety."With the sentencing date moved to September, ABC will evaluate the impact on its hearing schedule and act accordingly," a spokesperson for the attorney general's office said.Nothing else about "ABC's process" has changed, the spokesperson added, signaling that the efforts to challenge Trump's licenses had not ended.State officials said on June 28 that Trump's new felony status barred him from profiting from the two licenses, which were due for renewal on June 30.The bars at the Bedminster and Colts Neck clubs will remain open under an interim permit pending the yet-scheduled hearing, at which Trump's side will bear the burden of proof in demonstrating that he remains qualified to benefit from a liquor license.The liquor license at Trump's third New Jersey course, Trump National Philadelphia — 45 minutes outside that city in Pine Hill — was renewed by that borough on June 3, just four days after his guilty verdict on <a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hush-money-trial-verdict-2024-5#:~:text=Trump%2C%20the%2077%2Dyear%2D,days%20before%20the%202016%20election.">34 business-falsification counts</a>.As Business Insider revealed last month, Trump's three Jersey liquor licenses are in his eldest son's name. Trump said in a press statement that none of the liquor licenses at his properties were in his own name.But the office of New Jersey's attorney general, Matthew J. Platkin, found last month that the former president was the beneficiary of the licenses."A review by ABC indicates that Mr. Trump maintains a direct beneficial interest in the three liquor licenses through the receipt of revenues and profits from them, as the sole beneficiary of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust," a press statement said last month.The Supreme Court's immunity opinion is barely two weeks old but has already <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-smith-donald-trump-presidential-immunity-prosecutions-survive-scotus-barely-2024-7">paid high dividends to Trump</a>, delaying his Washington, DC, insurrection case, while invalidating his Mar-a-Lago classified-documents case in Florida.A Wednesday deadline has been set for Manhattan prosecutors to respond to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-now-says-scotus-immunity-voids-entire-hush-money-indictment-2024-7">Trump's arguments</a> that presidential immunity voids both his hush-money conviction and the indictment itself.
