Beam Global Spirits & Wine has unveiled new packaging for Harveys Bristol Cream, the best known sherry brand in the world - a bottle is sold every six seconds .
The new look - hailed as the most radical change in over a decade - features a metallic label with an H logo.
The company carried out research among more than 2,000 35-to-45-year-old women, the target audience for Harveys. Drew Munro, general manager for Beam Global UK , said that in 12 years of drinks marketing he ha d never known such feedback: 94 per cent, against a normal average of 60 per cent.
Bristol Cream is a blend of finos, aged amontillados, olorosos and Pedro Ximenez, aged in the solera system. It is matured in American oak barrels for at least three years.
