When it comes to white wine, what will be the next big thing?
We are sick of:
* Chardonnay
* Riesling
* Semillon
* Sauvignon Blanc
* Pinot Gris/Pinot grigio
What will be next, I wonder?
Answers:
Nah, all been done. But there are a number of other grapes that have potential: viognier, arneis, verdicchio.
Fumee?
I hear the next big thing is Viognier which is a lovely little drop.
Chin chin!
Probably Chinese wine
But for alternatives how about
Sake?
Rice Wine?
Diet Wine
Wine Zero
Wine Lite
On St Patricks Day - Green Wine
Ditto on the Viognier. Also blends. Flagstone Noon Gun, Caymus Conumdrum
Pinot Grigio or Riesling will seem to appeal to the new beginners market. I love sake and plum wine.
What ever happened to Zima?
Other trends:
Wine marketed for women (mostly packaging)
Wine Kegs
Wine box (juice-box style with poking straw)
