History of Au Vodka
Au Vodka was founded in Swansea, Wales in 2015 by Jackson Quinn and Charlie Morgan, then in their late teens. They saw a gap in the vodka market—many premium vodkas looked similar, with clear or frosted bottles, and little personality. The founders aimed to create a brand that stood for success, individuality, with strong visual identity. Their gold bottle design was conceived to be instantly recognisable. Early growth included winning over influencers and urban culture personalities, which helped to accelerate Au’s visibility. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
