It is great to see our brands enjoyed by all these distinguished guests and in such a vibrant context. The SKYY Vodka brand as well as Campari are growing fast around Asia and in India. There is an encouraging trend for cocktail interest worldwide and we have exciting plans that we will implement on the Indian market in order to favour the awareness of our brands.
