In this collection of current wine trends, you'll find four clear trends we're increasingly seeing at Perfectewijn: sustainably produced, adventurous New World, serious tasting, and wines truly meant for the table. Which wine trends are you seeing most often on wine lists and in online stores? Wines with a story are particularly popular: sustainability, provenance, and gastronomic appeal are more important than ever, and this selection reflects that.

Sustainable wines

The sustainable wine trend includes Nodus Merlot Delirium Ecologico, Cielo e Terra 3 Passo Bianco, Lunaria Ruminat Primitivo, Aubert Mathieu Hautes Pistes Chardonnay Limoux, Carl Ehrhard Berg Roseneck Riesling Trocken BIO, and Statella Etna Rosso BIO 2022. These wines prioritize organic farming, vineyard care, and a reduced impact on nature. A growing number of wine lovers are paying attention not only to taste but also to how the wine is made, consciously choosing producers who demonstrate their commitment to sustainability through certification and concrete measures.

New World wines

New World wines include Marlborough Sun Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Stellenrust Barrel Fermented Chardonnay, Barista Black Pinotage, Alta Vista Classic Vive Malbec, Mister Wisdom Cabernet Sauvignon, and Ouled Thaleb Imperiale White. This trend revolves around expressive wines from countries like New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, and Morocco, with clear grape expression and often a slightly more direct style. Wine enthusiasts are choosing these types of wines to explore beyond Europe and are finding that the quality and distinctive character of these regions have reached a high level.

WSET 2 wine tasting boxes

The WSET 2 wine tasting boxes are a trend in themselves, as more and more people want to learn to taste in a structured way. This collection includes four tasting boxes: WSET 2 Basic Grape Identification, WSET 2 Old World vs. New World, WSET 2 Climate, and WSET 2 Chardonnay Steel and Wood. Each box is structured around a theme perfectly aligned with the WSET 2 level, allowing you to practice at home or in a tasting group on style differences, origins, and grape identification. This demonstrates the trend of wine not only being something to enjoy but also something to deepen your knowledge in a playful way.

Gastronomic wines

Finally, the gastronomic wine trend includes Villa Blanche Picpoul de Pinet, Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva Blanco, Feuerheerd's 20-Year-Old Port Decanter, Château de Caravettes Languedoc, Cuvée d'Exception Sauternes Le Tertre du Lys d'Or, Boroli Barolo di Castiglione Falletto 2019, Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico, Luca Chardonnay G Lot, and Bergsig Chardonnay Barrel Fermented. These are wines not just enjoyed on their own, but consciously chosen to accompany a dish or menu, as structure, acidity, and complexity demand it. The trend here is that people are increasingly cooking at home and are specifically looking for wines that truly add something to the plate, from crisp Picpoul with seafood to Sauternes or aged Port with dessert and cheese, and from classic Chianti to serious Barolo for elaborate dinners.
