Beverage brands in the UAE

The UAE is the gateway to the Gulf beverage market, and the most developed on-trade in the region.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi host a world-class hospitality scene: luxury hotels, destination restaurants and some of the most awarded bars in the world. Alcohol is permitted under licence, and the premium and non-alcoholic categories are both growing fast. For an international brand, the UAE is usually the first and most important market to win.
