Recent statistics show that wine is the most popular alcoholic drink for UK adults, across all ages and regions in the country.  Thinking back to the UK’s industrial heritage who could have predicted such a change to consumers drinking habits?

 

Whilst these trends are heavily driven by the big supermarkets, we must respect the fact the very same people will be looking for the same brands, grapes and countries when they visit the on trade, hence the following trends:

​

• USA                                       The most popular country, driven by Zinfandel

• Australia                               The widest range

• Sauvignon Blanc                 The fastest growing

• New World                           Now outsells the old European countries

• More Expensive Wine        Consumers are more confident

​
