French distilleries begin production of hydroalcoholic gel

As the Covid-19 pandemic spreads, French spirits producers are converting production to deal with hydroalcoholic gel supply problems.

Alongside large groups such as LVMH and Pernod Ricard, many smaller local distilleries are also contributing to this unprecedented effort.

These include Remy Cointreau in Paris, Maison Ferroni in Marseille, Alambic Bourguignon in Beaune, Armand Guy in Pontarlier and rum distilleries in the Antilles, Guadeloupe and Martinique.
