How Climate is Shifting the Landscape of Alcohol Commodities
Here at Avallen Solutions, we're all about creating a world where businesses thrive in harmony with our planet. That's why we've taken a deep dive into a topic that's crucial for the drinks industry and, let's face it, for all of us who enjoy a good tipple: climate change.
Our new report, "Climate Change and Alcohol Commodities: A Decade of Impact (2014-2024)" examines how the escalating climate crisis is affecting the key agricultural commodities that form the foundation of our favourite beverages. We're not just talking about a few warm days here and there; we're looking at how rising global temperatures and extreme weather events are shaking up the very supply chains that bring us everything from beer to brandy.
What's in the report:
A look back: We analyse the past decade, revealing how climate change has already impacted the availability and pricing of essential ingredients like barley, wheat, sugarcane, agave, and grapes.
A glimpse into the future: We explore projections for the next ten years, highlighting the potential for increased volatility and disruptions in the supply of these commodities.
Solutions and resilience: We investigate current efforts within the industry to build resilience, from sustainable practices to climate-smart agriculture, and propose further actions to mitigate risks.
This report is a must-read for anyone involved in the alcoholic beverage industry, from producers and suppliers to citizens who care about the future of their favourite drinks. It's packed with data, analysis, and actionable insights to help us all navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.

We also had a little fun using Google’s NotebookLM tool to make an audio conversation discussing the report and its findings. It can’t pronounce Jalisco properly and makes a hash of Chablis, but it’s a great way to get the details of the report if you prefer listening.
We plan to write a lot more of these kind of reports so please let us know what you think, what we did well, what could be improved, and what kind of things you’d like to see us cover in the future.
