February 20, 2025
We’re digging into a huge question being posed right now: what’s the future of the wine and alcohol industry? Is it truly a dying breed?
As wine industry insiders, we’re exploring the current state of the wine world and spilling ALL the tea (or wine, we should say) in the process.
The world is facing the biggest lack of wine consumption we’ve ever seen. From younger generations (particularly Gen Z) exploring alcohol-free lifestyles and wine alternatives to global financial woes, to marketing challenges that have made wine appear snooty and unapproachable. This industry is seeing some truly unprecedented things—and let’s be real, it’s hurting.

We’re divulging some huge misconceptions to help inspire people to give wine a second chance. Because believe it or not, it deserves it!
