Foster's Group, Australia's largest brewer, has missed forecasts with a 13.5 per cent slide in first-half profit as it lost market share in beer and wine earnings slumped.

But its beer volume in Australia declined 1.1 per cent even as industry volume gained 1 per cent as consumers flocked to premium, imported and low-carb beers.

Probably the biggest weakness is in the beer business, which is surprising. The beer market in Australia is very strong at the moment and yet they show a 1 per cent volume decline.
