Hoverspeeds retail marketing manager Barry Hopkins said: More bottles of Baileys are sold in the UK than turkeys so its not surprising that its one of our best-sellers! Whisky, brandy and gin are popular too. Our UK customers are willing to spend more on wine now as well. British tastes are definitely becoming more sophisticated. Our number one fragrance this year has been Glow by J-Lo, which reflects a shift in the market away from traditional brands such as Chanel. Houses like J-Lo and Calvin Klein often have great-value sets which we offer to our customers, so for the price of a fragrance they can get things like free body lotions and shower gels as well. We also sell digital cameras at up to 30% below UK prices, which we expect to be a big hit again this Christmas.
