According to the IRI statistics, Great Northern had 12 per cent market share, comfortably ahead of third-placed XXXX with 9.2 per cent share, fourth-placed Victoria Bitter , and fifth placed Corona . Corona's high placing is a notable change from the 80s, given that back then the word Corona was better known as the name of a small car.The "Top 15 Master Brands" list includes the likes of Coopers , Asahi and Iron Jack .
