The organization's offerings include prevention programs (Menores ni una Gota, Los Noc-Turnos, Tú Sirves Tú Decides, Responsabilidad y Punto, Yo No Vendo Alcohol a Menores), the Fundación Alcohol y Sociedad foundation, a self-regulatory advertising code, journalistic awards for geographic indications, and QR-code based consumer information systems. The federation represents all major spirit categories (Aguardientes, Anís, Brandy, Gin, Licores, Ron, Vodka, Whisky, Pacharán) and 19 Protected Geographical Indications including Brandy de Jerez and Pacharán Navarro.

Broad incumbents

• Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne (CIVC): The trade body governing the Champagne appellation. Comparable to Espirituosos España's CEIGBE-driven PGI governance work, with a parallel structure of inter-professional representation, marketing, and technical regulation on behalf of producers.
• Brewers of Europe: The European brewers' trade association. Applies the same federation-based advocacy and social responsibility model as Espirituosos España but for the broader beer category, which competes with spirits for consumer occasions and policy attention.

Direct peers

• SpiritsEUROPE: European Confederation of Spirits Manufacturers headquartered in Brussels. Espirituosos España is a member of SpiritsEUROPE, and the two share the same mission of representing the spirits sector before EU institutions, coordinating social responsibility programs, and providing market intelligence to members.
• Scotch Whisky Association: The official trade body representing the Scotch Whisky industry. Comparable in function to Espirituosos España as a national-level spirits federation that advocates on excise tax, export market access, geographic indication protection, and responsible-drinking programs.
• Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS): The national trade association representing producers and marketers of distilled spirits in the United States. Directly comparable to Espirituosos España in advocacy, public policy, and social responsibility programming, scaled to the much larger US market.
• Spirits Canada: National trade association representing Canadian distillers. Plays an equivalent role to Espirituosos España in advocating for the Canadian spirits industry on excise taxation, trade policy, responsible consumption, and labeling, with a similar member-based funding model.
• Wine & Spirit Trade Association (WSTA): The UK trade association representing wine and spirits producers, importers, and exporters. Mirrors Espirituosos España's role in lobbying HM Government and regulators on excise, labeling, and licensing, while providing technical and legal advice to members.
• Federvini: Italian Federation of Wine and Spirits Producers. The closest geographical and structural analog to Espirituosos España, representing a similarly fragmented Mediterranean spirits sector with a heavy heritage and PGI focus before Italian and EU institutions.

Others

• Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB): Bordeaux wine trade inter-professional body. Adjacent rather than directly competitive with Espirituosos España, but operates the same federation-based advocacy model for a large European alcohol-producing region, providing a structural benchmark.

Regional players

• Consejo Regulador de la Denominación de Origen Jerez-Sherry: Spanish regulatory council for the Jerez-Sherry wine denomination. Operates in the same country as Espirituosos España with a parallel structure of protected-designation governance, producer representation, and international promotion, but focused on the fortified wine subset of the alcohol sector.
