It makes sense that the alcohol industry would want in on the wellness movement, considering it’s a sector that has everything to do with lifestyle. But it’s unclear if consumers will get on board with the repositioning or if they’ll just consider it a buzzkill.
It’s easy to see why companies in the well-being space would want to try and replicate the Peloton business model — it’s been highly lucrative for the streaming fitness company. Whether other brands will see the same success is less clear.
Airlines

Back in the day, airline passengers used to love complaining about bad domestic airline food. But Delta customers should be happy about this development. They'll be getting fresh, relatively healthy food on long flights.
