Brewing news Slovakia: Slovaks prefer beer to wine, research shows

More than one third of Slovaks (38 percent) tend to call themselves beer-drinkers instead of wine-drinkers (26 percent). The most popular is 10 percent bale beer but non-alcoholic beer and radlers are gaining popularity, as the research for the Slovak Association of Beer and Malt Producers showed.

Slovaks mainly drink beer containing alcohol. About 72 percent drink it at least once a week, more men (86 percent) than women (58 percent).

The research also showed that Slovaks prefer draught beer (44 percent) and pale 10-degree beer (44 percent).

Women prefer small draught beer (45 percent) more and more than three-fourths of men drink draught beer (84 percent). In addition to pale beer (36 percent) women like non-alcoholic beer (37 percent).

Slovak favourites also include radler, flavoured beers and non-alcoholic beer. About 56 percent of Slovaks drink flavoured beers and radlers at least once a week (60 percent of women and 51 percent of men) and 51 percent Slovaks drink non-alcoholic beer, more women (58 percent) than men (43 percent).

About 38 percent of Slovaks consider themselves to be beer drinkers more than wine drinkers (26 percent). About 16 percent of respondents do not consider themselves beer or wine drinkers, and 20 percent do not consume beer or wine.

The average Slovak drinks 72 litres of beer a year, which amounts to 144 so-called large beers.

“The increase of beer consumption could also be due to the drinking of non-alcoholic beer and radlers,” said Jana Shepperd, president of the Slovak Association of Beer and Malt Producers, as quoted by the TASR newswire.

“These variants of beer are becoming a more frequent alternative for those who drive or do sports,” she added for TASR.
