Find another industry

Step 1

Decide if Distilleries is the right industry to target

The Distilleries industry

The Distilleries industry encompasses businesses specializing in the production of distilled spirits, alcoholic beverages with a higher alcohol content than beer or wine. Distilleries utilize specialized equipment and techniques to ferment and distill a variety of base ingredients, resulting in a wide range of spirits enjoyed globally.

What businesses are included

Distilleries produce various types of spirits, including whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, tequila, and brandy (except for brandies made from grapes, which are typically produced by wineries). They handle the entire distillation process, from fermenting base ingredients like grains, fruits, or sugarcane to distilling, aging, blending, and bottling the final product.

When targeting the Distilleries industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.

Which businesses are not included

It's crucial to distinguish distilleries from related but distinct sectors within the beverage industry. While distilleries produce alcoholic beverages, their production processes and product categories differ significantly from breweries, which focus on beer production, and wineries, specializing in winemaking.
