BELUGA GROUP becomes the exclusive distributor of XUXU liqueurs in Russia

BELUGA GROUP continues to strengthen its position in the key categories of spirits import: in July, an agreement with the German company Underberg came into force, assigning the exclusive distribution of XUXU liqueurs in Russia to the group. The inclusion of this brand in the import portfolio is the company's response to the growing demand for liqueurs among Russian consumers.

XUXU is a brand of 15% berry liqueurs; its uniqueness is ensured by the composition quality and special production process. The product is made exclusively with natural ingredients: strawberry purée, lime juice, premium vodka and water, following a complex production process, which eliminates any possibility of imitation and counterfeits. The high quality of XUXU liqueurs has been confirmed through its recognition by the judges at the World Spirits Award 2014, where the brand received a gold medal with a score of 96 points out of 100. In its home market, Germany, XUXU liqueurs sales have reached one million bottles per year. The brand is also popular in the USA and Denmark. BELUGA GROUP's portfolio will feature the strawberry liqueur XUXU and the creamy strawberry XUXU Cream.

Also, under the agreement with Underberg, BELUGA GROUP will become the exclusive distributor in Russia of the company's grape brandy, Asbach, and the herbal liqueur Tunel.
