Walmart is making the changes because its shoppers are demanding more premium alcohol options, according to Jason Fremstad, VP of adult beverages for Walmart US stores.

"There's been a significant shift in our assortment this year to make sure that we are not just taking care of our customers with all the core offerings they expect, but really getting into that premium and innovative assortment that we're really not known for at this point," he said.

Fremstad said he's watching drinking trends closely, and betting on a surge in tequila popularity. "I think the one spirit that nobody talks enough about is the growth of tequila," he said.

Splash Beverage Group CEO Robert Nistico states, "This is a major benchmark for our SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila brand. Due to the conditions of the current pandemic and social distancing, our primary focus remains on off-premise channel initiatives and are enjoying growth here. We anticipate as bars, restaurants and hotels begin to open, we will experience growth with our relationships in on premise channels."
