Ep 108

Curious about which 2025 wine trends are truly worth the hype and which ones might fall flat?

In today’s episode I’m discussing 7 trends in the wine industry and my hot takes on them!

We will dive into questions like are natural and organic wines a passing trend or a lasting movement? Are low and no-alcohol wines really a good idea? What about sustainable and eco-friendly packaging? Is this a good idea and what if it compromises the wine? And wine lovers are moving away from faceless wine brands and craving connections through stories and hands-on-learning.

So, if you are excited to stay ahead of what’s trending in wine and want to hear my hot takes on these current trends then this episode is for you!
