How can you access IWSR market research reports and other industry data as a drinks founder?

Most full IWSR reports are behind paywalls, but members have identified several routes to access market data:

- **IWSR free reports** — The 'Top 6 Global Trends for 2018' is available free online as a PDF; newer reports may follow a similar pattern - **WSTA membership** — Members report that the Wine & Spirit Trade Association may provide access to data if you're a member - **CGA reports** — Several members reference using CGA (On-Premise) data as an alternative source - **Morning Advertiser** — Free articles covering market data (e.g. top-selling UK alcohol brands) are published and can be a useful supplementary source - **Peer sharing** — Members occasionally share older reports they own (e.g. global gin reports from previous years) directly

Note: Full IWSR reports are typically sold by subscription. The community's main workaround is either paying for membership/subscriptions, using free summary articles, or accessing older reports through peer networks. No members mentioned a free full-report database.
