Six Wine Trends to Watch for in 2025

Sustainable & Organic Wines
Wine trends aren’t just passing fads; they reflect the dynamic relationship between consumer preferences and the industry’s response to those tastes. Over the years, we’ve witnessed how natural wines, once a niche interest, have surged in popularity, and screw caps, once dismissed, are now commonly used on quality bottles. As we head into 2025, we’re on the brink of exciting new developments. This year’s trends are not just about what’s in the glass—they’re about writing the story of wine itself.
2025 is set to be a landmark year for eco- conscious sipping. As more consumers seek wines that align with their values, winemakers are rising to the challenge. These wines are crafted with respect for the environment, using practices that protect the earth while producing outstanding flavours. But this trend isn’t just about sustainability; it’s about creating wines that express the purity and vitality of the vineyards they come from. It’s an exciting time to learn about and explore wine, where every choice you make can help build a better future.
