Is it gin o’clock yet?
Gin’s popular in Edinburgh and this is perhaps due to local success stories like Edinburgh Gin, Pickering’s Gin and Leith Gin (parent company Gleann More Spirits is based in Edinburgh). Now research from Pulsar shows us just how popular this clear juniper berry booze has become.
Pulsar helps marketers make sense out what people are talking about on social media and pointed their technology at Twitter to monitor gin chat. You won’t be surprised to discover that 47% of conversions about gin begin from London. The city is huge. However, according to Pulsar’s league table, two Scottish cities are also mad keen on the drink. Glasgow is in 4th place with 6% of conversions about gin attributed back there, and Edinburgh holds up the bottom of the table giving the world 4% of all tweets about the fashionable spirit.
