How is the wine world shaping up in 2019? Here are some trends to watch
- Chris Mercer
Tastes are broadening
This depends on who you ask. Majestic confirmed this week that big, bold Chardonnay still has a market, and there is no apparent slowdown for Prosecco and rosé – in fact quite the opposite if the two are combined as planned to create a mind-altering, monumental megatrend. But the choice of wines on offer to many consumers in the UK and US has arguably never been more diverse.
Majestic in the UK has repeatedly touted growth of wines from lesser-known areas of Eastern Europe. Major wine supplier Bibendum recently tipped indigenous Italian grapes for strong growth in 2019. Several commentators have also predicted a resurgence in demand for Greek wines.
Waitrose wine buyer Becky Hull MW said recently that the retailer expects Crémant sparkling wines to continue growing as alternatives to Champagne. While for New World sparkling Tasmania is one to watch.
