The following five trends have been identified as change drivers of in-store execution for the alcoholic drinks category:

- Creating Excitement In-Store: whether eye catching displays, product sampling and demonstrations, expert product advice, or in-store bars, an element of retail-tainment (retail theatre) is essential to increase footfall to the category and engage shoppers at POS.

- Instructional Selling: providing educational material at the shelf; e.g, catalogues with product descriptions, recommendations of foods that go well with specific drinks, and other relevant information enables shoppers to interact with the category and make more informed decisions.
