Wine trends for 2025

As the wine industry evolves, several emerging trends cater to a more health-conscious, sustainability-driven, and technology-savvy audience. These shifts highlight the innovative spirit of winemakers and their ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences, blending tradition with forward-thinking approaches.

This tasting will be guided by sommelier Alojz Felix Jermann, who has carefully selected four producers that, in his view, best represent the key market trends and demands shaping the future of wine. Each producer will present their wine within their respective trend, offering unique insights into how their approach reflects the direction of the industry.

Four pivotal trends shaping the industry in 2025 will be explored: the rise of low-alcohol and alcohol-free wines, the adoption of hybrid and fungus-resistant grape varieties, the renewed focus on hyperlocal and indigenous varietals, and the integration of technology for personalized wine experiences. Through a curated selection of wines, attendees will experience firsthand how these trends are transforming the landscape of viticulture and winemaking.

Through this format, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of evolving consumer preferences, the role of sustainability and technology, and how these pioneering producers are shaping the future of wine.
