V&S Group (V&S Vin & Sprit AB), founded in 1917, is an international producer and distributor of alcoholic beverages.
Until 1994, the group had the position of a national alcohol monopoly for production and distribution, but this was abolished when Sweden joined the European Union in 1995.
Production of their local and regional spirits takes place primarily in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and Poland.
Vodka is their largest selling spirit, in which Absolut holds the highest sales figures.
Geographically, North America is the group's single biggest market, accounting for 43% of total sales in 2007.
