Here are some seasonal wine trends for the end of 2024:
-
The no and low-alcohol (NOLO)
Wine consumption in the low-alcohol category grew by 8% in 2023, primarily in the US, and is expected to continue to grow in 2024.
-
Orange wine
This white wine is made by leaving grape skins and seeds in contact with the juice for a longer period during fermentation, resulting in a color that can range from pale amber to orange.
-
Sustainable viticulture
This trend focuses on the environmental impact of winemaking, with winemakers using cover crops and other practices to create thriving ecosystems in their vineyards.
-
Organic wine
The growing demand for sustainable and organic wines has led wineries around the world to respond.
-
Sauvignon blanc
This white wine continues to be popular, appealing to both wine lovers and younger drinkers.
-
Chillable reds
Some sommeliers predict that the growth of orange wine will lead to a broader movement for chillable reds.
Keeping that in mind, here are some special wines to watch.
