2025 Wine Trends

As we bid adieu to the drops of 2024 and raise a glass to a new year, it’s time to look at the latest and greatest trends shaping the wine world in 2025. Whether you’re a seasoned sommelier or a casual sipper, there’s something for everyone in this year’s delightful vineyard of possibilities. Let’s uncork the details, shall we?

Less, But Better

Trends show that tastes are changing, and with a glut of commercial, value-driven wines hitting our shelves, not only are shoppers wanting to spend less, but lack of variety is perhaps a catalyst for drinking less! Curious palettes, however, are opting for something different. The world of wine is vast, which can be overwhelming at times, but presents a fantastic opportunity to learn more about styles of wine and find your next gem. We anticipate that lesser known wines will shine in 2025. Interested to try one yourself? Why not this Torrontés from Viñalba, a famed white grape in Argentina, you wont go back to Pinot Grigio!

Light Reds

Pinot Noir and Gamay are gaining ground as go-to options for their versatility and drinkability. This makes them perfect for both warmer weather days, cozy nights in, or anything in between! For lovers of Pinot Noir who seek a refined experience, Sancerre Rouge Domaine des Sardelles brings sophistication, authenticity, and a taste of the Loire Valley’s unique terroir to every glass. Its fresh profile and delicate minerality make it a versatile wine for both everyday enjoyment and special moments.

Dry Rieslings

Known for their crisp acidity and food-friendly nature, dry Rieslings are capturing attention globally. Australia has long been home to crafting this style of Reisling, however few have mastered them like Chris ‘Hatch’ Hatcher. His collection of two Riesling’s have recently won industry awards (Gold & Silver no less!), which we are very proud to have here at Vinohero. Whether it’s the zesty brilliance of the Clare Valley Watervale Riesling or the delicate allure of the Eden Valley Flaxman’s Riesling, these award-winning wines deserve a place in your 2025 wine trends collection.

Grenache

This medium-bodied red is having a moment, celebrated for its fruit-forward charm and adaptability to various cuisines. This is a crowd-pleasing grape that is the understated hero in gorgeous red and   rosé blends, and produces cracking wines in its own right. Rocha Candeal from Spanish producers Casa Lo Alto allow Grenache to shine in this stunning red. Rediscover the classic Côtes du Rhône blend with the contemporary Les Artistes. If Côtes de Provence Rosé is your thing, this gorgeous drop from Château Jaune will have you satisfied all summer long.

Sparkling Rosés

Bubbly pink wines continue to charm, but with more emphasis on dry, nuanced styles. Prosecco Rosé is a relatively recent addition to the scene after the Italian government officially authorised the production of Prosecco DOC Rosé in May 2020. Made from the traditional Glera grape, it is blended with up to 15% Pinot Nero to give it its light pinky colour, and extra depth of flavour. Despite being new on the scene, it has quickly gained fans across the UK which we see growing further in 2025. Why not try the Bacio della Luna Prosecco Rosé DOC?

So, there you have it—the 2025 wine trends shaping our tastes this year. Whether you’re sipping on pink bubbles, going down-under with some elegant Riesling, or exploring something unique, 2025 is brimming with bold choices and delightful surprises. Here’s to a year filled with laughter, adventure, and, of course, great wine. Cheers!
