Summary
The alcoholic beverage industry is increasingly adopting artificial intelligence to transform product development. Breweries, wineries, and spirits makers are using data tools to predict flavors, accelerate product development, and appeal to younger consumers (Gen Z and millennials) who are shifting toward lower-alcohol options, ready-to-drink products, functional ingredients, and novel flavors. This shift is driven by market pressures including slower growth in legacy categories and changing consumer preferences.
