Low-Alcohol & Sparkling: Wine’s Quiet Comeback

For many drinkers — especially younger crowds and health-minded folks — the appeal is clear: wines that keep the ritual alive without the heaviness. Whites, fizzy bubbles, and fresher reds offer a whole new rhythm — perfect for sunny terraces, coastal evenings, or mid-afternoon breaks. WineNews+2IWSR+2

As global winemakers adapt to climate challenges and shifting palates, expect more creative, sustainable bottles aimed at mindfulness and flavor. Climate Adaptation Platform+2Yahoo Finance+2
