Wine Trends for 2026: Alessandra Esteves’ Perspective
Looking ahead to 2026, wine trends are being shaped by familiarity, travel, and trust. According to Alessandra Esteves of 305 Wines, classic grapes like Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon continue to dominate, while regions such as Portugal, Greece, and Italy are gaining interest through tourism. Champagne, sparkling wines, rosé, and sake remain strong growth categories, as consumers look for wines they understand and enjoy at the table.
