The COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact alcohol consumption patterns in 2021. Wine saw a significant change in supply channels during the lockdowns.
One of the major success stories of the pandemic in alcoholic drinks was that of port, which experienced a strong rise in volume sales during the lockdowns. It is not a large category in the on-trade, so it was not as affected by the closure of drinking establishments and restaurants.
The cancellation of events with the onset of lockdown in 2020 was disastrous for champagne, which is known for being an occasion drink enjoyed at celebratory events, and total volume sales plummeted. With many occasions being cancelled, and some being held at home just amongst immediate households, there was not nearly as much demand for celebration wines.
In recent years, overall sales of wine have been declining. However, still rosé wine has performed better than still white and red wine.
While port and rosé have seen growth, vermouth has also been highlighted as a category with potential for future growth. This is because of the botanical aspect of this fortified wine.
Sustainability has become a major concern for many companies and consumers in recent years. Wine producers are very much aware of the necessity of maintaining ecological balance on the planet.
