Alcopops are composed of a mixture of alcoholic beverages (eg beer and vodka) or with an alcohol aroma (eg Vodka Lemon). Escaping to taxation premixes, alcopops appeared successfully on the French market, with over two million liters sold in 2003, and sales were almost multiplied by ten the following year. The adoption in 2004 of new rules of taxation should fall sales of these products.
