It has grown increasingly more common over the years for alcohol brands — especially those considered to be luxury brands — to collaborate with other companies for cross-promotion. Businesses or brands that commonly collaborate with alcohol brands include artists, fashion retailers, celebrities and athletes. These 2021 alcohol collaborations are widely popular, mostly because they take advantage of every consumer’s kryptonite… limited-edition packaging.
In 2021, we have already heard of several exciting new collaborations on the horizon for us to look forward to. Here are the alcohol collaborations you need to know about in 2021.
