DIAGEO China Milestone
In Asia Pacific, we grew organic net sales, volume, and operating margin in challenging macroeconomic conditions while increasing investment in the region. Growth was driven by Chinese white spirits, and strong performance in India with continued premiumisation and double-digit growth in scotch and other whisky. Tequila also continues to gain momentum. With 78 physical retail spaces in 30 Chinese cities, Diageo views China as one of its top three global strategic markets, and our scotch sales have seen double-digit growth in recent years.
