NEW YORK, March 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Thirstie, a leading technology company that connects alcohol brands with consumers, today released Thirstie Digital Consumer Insights: Core Spirits. The data-driven report which focuses on online shopping patterns across Whiskey, Vodka, Rum and Gin spirits sub-categories found that sales were driven by Wealthy Small Families and Single Suburbanites.
Thirstie data found that Wealthy Small Families make up nearly one quarter of online core spirits sales with a 22% share. They are followed by Single Suburbanites who also made a significant share of sales with 21%.
On the heels of Thirstie’s inaugural Digital Consumer Insights report, the company analyzed purchasing patterns of over 5,000 consumers of legal drinking age who purchased Core Spirits across the U.S. through Thirstie powered branded storefronts from December 2020 – December 2021.
When assessing online sales for the sub-categories, Thirstie found that Wealthy Small Families dominate most, including gin (29%), rum (32%), and vodka (23%). However, Small Middle Class Families have the largest share of Whiskey with 28%. The data report also explained that Retirees make-up a significant share of the consumer base for rum and vodka (25% and 21%, respectively), while Single Suburbanites make up a large portion of gin purchases (20%).

- Suburban Families have a well-stocked bar: Suburban families, both Wealthy Small Families and Small Middle Class Families, play a significant role in the online shopping audience for core spirits.
- Age plays a significant factor in driving specific online category sales: Young single consumers prefer the varying flavor profiles of gin. Older consumers will gravitate to vodka or rum.
