The IWSR (International Wine and Spirit Record) was started in 1971 as a subsidiary of the market research company, System Three Communications.

Initially founded as a service for just one client and covering 11 countries, the IWSR has grown to encompass over 220 countries and territories. The company remains family-owned and continues to attach high importance to client service. Unlike some other data providers, we focus exclusively on the global alcoholic beverage market.

Our clients include the leading international drinks groups such as Bacardi-Martini, Brown-Forman, Campari, Constellation Brands, Diageo, Fortune Brands, Highland Distillers, LVMH, Pernod Ricard, Rémy Cointreau and the V & S Group. We also work closely with many medium-sized and smaller independent drinks companies. Other clients include some of the leading investment analysts, management consultants and packaging companies.

We are based in the UK, with our offices in central London, near the capital’s financial quarter.
