• Premiumization and indulgence

Wine Consumer Trends and Purchasing Behavior

Consumer preferences are changing the way wine is positioned, purchased and consumed. GlobalData’s consumer analysis explores the tension between premiumization and moderation. Consumers may spend more on products that offer quality, provenance or distinctive experiences, while reducing the frequency or quantity of alcohol consumption.

• Packaging material

• Primary outer type

This analysis can support packaging strategy, product development and competitive benchmarking.

Key Highlights

Rising disposable incomes in emerging markets are fueling demand for premium products, as consumers are less focused on price alone and more interested in quality, provenance, and unique varietals. Moreover, consumers increasingly value the stories behind wines, where the grapes are grown, how the wines are made, vineyard history, and sustainable practices, as markers of authenticity. These trends are supporting wine value sales. However, consumers, especially younger generations, are moderating their alcohol intake due to health, wellness, and lifestyle priorities, which is dampening wine volume sales.
