Vodka is set to replace whisky as Britain's favourite spirit, according to a report. Sales have shot up by 21 per cent and are likely to reach £3.8billion in the next four years - matching sales of all whiskies. Market analysts Datamonitor's report says people now seem to prefer the subtle taste of vodka, while whisky distillers are failing to entice new drinkers.

"Overall, UK residents spend more on spirits than almost anywhere else in Europe. Britons spent £9.6 billion on hard liquor in 2005, with the average UK resident polishing off 152 shots each at a total cost of £160 a person, and vodka sales are leading the charge. "Extensive advertising campaigns have done a lot to build interest in a variety of vodka drinks – both unflavoured and flavoured," said Datamonitor analyst Lee Schneider.
