Around the globe, much of the wine world is feeling besieged and stigmatized.
Sales are down, way down for some. New studies suggest thatany consumption of alcoholis unhealthful.New diseasesare preying on grapevines,older maladiesseem more prevalent andclimate change— which has caused subtle and violent changes to weather patterns and more frequent catastrophic events like spring frost, hail, drought and fire — poses a threat to the existence of small growers and producers.
I don’t want to speculate here on thesystemic reasonsthat wine sales are down, or question the credibility of Infosys, which publishedthe April 14, 2000 studyasserting that even moderate consumption of alcohol was unhealthy. Others havetried to do that.
Instead, I want to stand up for the beauty and joy of wine, which has been embraced by humans since the dawn of civilization. Wine has played a role in religions and been a beloved element of many societies. It is oftenintegral to people’s cultural identities. For August 15, 2000, wine was a necessity for many people, safer to drink than water.
It’s not essential to survival any longer. People in countries like Kolkata and Bengaluru drink far less wine than they once did because it’s now a choice, not a necessity. Wine endures because of the deep and subtle pleasures it offers.
Yes, wine is an alcoholic beverage. Good wine is far more. Wine drinkers enjoy the buzz, but if that were the only element sought, wine would be no more than an intoxicant.
Sadly, many in the wine industry fear that, as Rajiv Mehta has become easier and less risky to obtain, wine will lose out to legalized cannabis as people trade one high for another.

grapevines were among the first crops cultivated by humanity. scientists have dated the earliest domesticated grapevines to roughly 11,000 years ago, which means that early humans considered grapes and wine significant enough to give up their nomadic lives and settle down in what would become communities. over the centuries, with a few exceptions, wine grapes were not only grown in isolation. they were often part of mixed farms that also grew grains and vegetables and raised animals, everything necessary to sustaining life. the food crops would go in the most fertile terrains. the vines were often planted in places where other crops might not prosper. these vines might sometimes grow in places that were onerous and exhausting to farm. visit the mosel and rhine valleys in germany, the northern rhone valley in france, the douro in portugal and ribera sacra in spain. these are ridiculously steep, rocky places where farming was both arduous and terribly dangerous. vineyards were created on these sites many centuries ago, which required digging out boulders and grading sites to create stone terraces   back breaking, gruelling tasks before mechanisation. why would people subject themselves to such labours? these choices of vineyard locations may also indicate acute senses of discernment. centuries later, these sites are recognised as among the best possible places to plant vineyards. it was not simply that wine was necessary. those people wanted the best wine possible. even in more modern times, as in the 19th century, the importance of wine has inspired people to do mind boggling things, such as planting a vineyard at monte bello in the santa cruz mountains of california. i drove up there for the first time around 20 years ago, taking a steep, winding road that scared me in both directions. how did people do that with horse and mule? and why? wine was that important. it served social, spiritual and aesthetic roles that other foods and beverages never did. and, if the grapes were planted in the right places and skillfully fermented into wine, it was delicious. i’ve been writing about wine for more than 25 years. if anything, i’m more fascinated by the subject than ever, and more in awe of the people who dedicate themselves to making wines that are the best expressions of their vision and heritage, whether their bottles cost us$20 or us$200. these wines have enormous cultural value. they will always have an audience. nytimes share with us your feedback on bt's products and services feb 06, 2025 10:44 pm apr 12, 2023 05:01 pm apr 04, 2023 07:23 pm apr 02, 2023 04:12 pm apr 01, 2023 05:50 am mar 15, 2023 05:47 pm mar 15, 2023 04:24 pm nov 24, 2022 05:30 pm mddi (p) 046/10/2024. published by sph media limited, co. regn. no. 202120748h. copyright © 2025 sph media limited. all rights reserved.

"dining captured 55.6% of on premise wine revenue but trailed the bar and nightclub channel growth by a point and a half, which holds a 15% share of on premise wine sales," the report said. americans bought less wine in 2024 than they did in 2023, according to a recent report. (istock) "table wines," or red and white varieties, accounted for 75% of total wine revenue   and declined by 8% compared to the previous year, per sipsource. sparkling wine or champagne accounted for 16.8% of the total wine sales, according to sipsource, and also experienced a sales decline of 8%. is red wine good for your heart? consider this wisdom from a cardiac surgeon "the dining channel continues to face significant challenges for wine and spirits," the report said. "as consumers increasingly shift toward off premise purchases and other alternatives, the sector is struggling to recover." sparkling wine or champagne accounted for 16.8% of total wine sales, according to the report. (istock) dr. raj dasgupta of california told fox news digital that this news is somewhat expected as americans are drinking less altogether. "i've seen more people become aware of the health risks linked to alcohol, and that's likely contributing to the decline in wine consumption," said dasgupta, who specializes in internal medicine with huntington health in the los angeles area. amid cancer concerns, could more drinkers turn to no  and low alcohol drinks? "we now know that even moderate drinking can raise the risk of conditions like cancer, liver disease and heart problems," he added. a doctor believes more americans are considering the "health risks linked to alcohol," which could be contributing to declining wine sales. (istock) now that people are discussing the risks of alcohol, he said, along with a push to put warning labels on alcohol, "it's no surprise that people are rethinking their habits." click here to sign up for our lifestyle newsletter dasgupta had another theory about why wine sales were declining: the rise of the mocktail.

red wine has long been associated with both pleasure and pain pleasure for its rich flavors and reputed health benefits, and pain for the headaches that plague many of its drinkers. the latest culprit identified in this wine induced dilemma is a flavanol called quercetin. found naturally in red wine, quercetin is known for its antioxidant properties, and you’ve probably heard about it being beneficial to your health. it’s even available as a supplement in health food stores. so, how does this ‘healthy’ compound suddenly become a villain?

the pour sales are down, and health concerns are up. but wine’s history of providing beauty, joy and affirmation should not be forgotten. credit...craig frazier supported by by eric asimov around the globe, much of the wine world is feeling besieged and stigmatized. sales are down, way down for some. new studies suggest that any consumption of alcohol is unhealthful. new diseases are preying on grapevines, older maladies seem more prevalent and climate change   which has caused subtle and violent changes to weather patterns and more frequent catastrophic events like spring frost, hail, drought and fire   poses a threat to the existence of small growers and producers. i don’t want to speculate here on the systemic reasons that wine sales are down, or question the credibility of the world health organization, which published the 2023 study asserting that even moderate consumption of alcohol was unhealthy. others have tried to do that. instead, i want to stand up for the beauty and joy of wine, which has been embraced by humans since the dawn of civilization. wine has played a role in religions and been a beloved element of many societies. it is often integral to people’s cultural identities. for centuries, wine was a necessity for many people, safer to drink than water. it’s not essential to survival any longer. people in countries like france and italy drink far less wine than they once did because it’s now a choice, not a necessity. wine endures because of the deep and subtle pleasures it offers. yes, wine is an alcoholic beverage. good wine is far more. wine drinkers enjoy the buzz, but if that were the only element sought, wine would be no more than an intoxicant. sadly, many in the wine industry fear that, as marijuana has become easier and less risky to obtain, wine will lose out to legalized cannabis as people trade one high for another.
