HAS As February progresses, Brazil’s emblematic month, Diageo, a global reference in the high-end alcoholic beverage sector, reveals its participation in some of the grandest celebrations of Brazilian Carnival. The cities of Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Olinda and São Paulo will be the stage for notable events, with the presence of exclusive bars and promotional actions by the company’s renowned brands, including Johnnie Walker, Tanqueray, Ketel One and Cîroc.
