And with the Southeast Asian nation responsible for 33 percent of the region’s “soju” market, South Korean liquor appears to have made a good impression.
Lotte Liquor revealed that sales of its soju Chumchurum had grown by a yearly average of 27 percent over the past five years, noting that 2017′s sales were particularly impressive with growth of 35 percent.
Building on last year’s record-setting results, Lotte Liquor will begin selling Chumchurum in Da Nang International Airport’s new terminal, the first time the liquor has been sold in duty free shops abroad.
The alcohol will be sold in four-bottle sets. The volume of each bottle is 360ml, the most common version, with an alcohol concentration of 17.5 degrees.
