Wednesday's friendly economy, reporter Kwon Aeri. Reporter Kwon, it's still Wednesday morning. The couple has been a little vague, but the government has arranged for the delivery of alcohol, right?

<Reporter>

Yes. It is still illegal to deliver alcohol only. This will not change in the future. If you say something like this, there may be people who say, "Uh, I've always had chicken while I ordered beer."

For restaurants only, customers want to have a drink, and in this case, it has been allowed to deliver alcohol with food.

But the concept of sending it with this food is very vague. There was a constant controversy over what could be and what could not be. The government has set standards.

The price of alcohol should not be higher than the price of food delivered. If the price of alcohol is higher, it was decided not to deliver it, but to see it as a delivery of alcohol.

For example, if you deliver a 20,000 won chicken, the price of the liquor you can order should be less. Beer is less than 25,000 won.

In fact, if you order beer or shochu in this way, even if you order it with a small amount, you will not exceed the allowable range if you make it quite small.

Conversely, even if the amount of liquor itself is small, it can be a little expensive, such as wine or whiskey.

The relatively expensive liquor was sent with food, but it was stated that it was not easy to send it. It will be implemented from July.

July. In addition, a plan to improve the production and sales of small breweries has been prepared.

<Reporter>

Yes. Yesterday (19th) There were a variety of new measures in fact related to alcohol. The large stem is focused on releasing regulations on domestic alcohol.

Especially these days, not only large companies, but also small companies and liquors made by alcoholic beverages, such as so-called homemade beer, are popular.

The way these companies have access to consumers has expanded. This is because the government has decided to allow consignment manufacturing.

So-called OEM production is also possible. So far, alcohol makers have not been allowed to use other manufacturers' manufacturing facilities. You should have had your own facilities.

So if you want to increase production, you will have to sell it in cans, and you would also like to buy bottled products, but it costs money to make such a facility. So it was difficult for mainstream manufacturers who lacked capital to go to a wide market.
However, it is now possible to rent and manufacture large facilities, so if I have only know-how about taste, it is possible to increase production and expand the distribution network without significantly investing in facilities.

Conversely, when you are licensed as a liquor manufacturing facility, you can make drinks other than liquor, or there are liquor residues such as yeast leftover. It is also possible to make other products such as cosmetics using these ingredients. I think it will be very helpful for

companies, but this atmosphere, this atmosphere of deregulation is creating a society that is too generous with alcohol, and I think there will be such a stinging gaze.

<Reporter>

Yes. The government explained that it was also important to increase the competitiveness of our alcohol industry.

[Imjaehyeon / Strategy and Finance detergent mounting: Recent domestic liquor market, I think that despite gotta growth is stagnant and need a liquor imports increased in competitiveness of the domestic liquor industry]

in the last five years domestic alcohol shipments continue to decrease On the other hand, imported liquor has increased by more than 24% per year on average.

Of course, by weight, domestic alcohol is still overwhelming, but growth is incomparable.

This is part of the domestic industry's effort to improve quality, but it is also due to regulations. In particular, compared to imported liquor made in a country with less regulation than Korea, there are times when domestic liquor is rather disadvantageous.

So, traditional wine like makgeolli has been allowed to sell online even before. It has been encouraged without much regulation. It's a cultural aspect.

We should also consider this part of the competitiveness of small businesses in our mainstream industry. This consideration was the background.

On the other hand, those who are concerned also express opinions about the mainstream delivery, especially if it is too easy to prevent underage drinking.

If you're selling a store or a convenience store, sometimes the authorities can look into it, but how do you investigate and stop drinking alcohol at home?

It is worthwhile to pay attention to this improvement to take place smoothly as the monitor continues to work together to ensure that there are no problems appearing during the implementation phase.
