Did you know that Denmark is the first wine-consuming country in the world, per capita, among the non-producing countries? Many Danes also show a keen interest in wine and like to try new products. Thus, it is highly interesting for producers to study trends on the Danish wine market. The Danes consume 28,7 liters of wine per capita per year (34.0 liters per person counting only the adult population). Out of the Danish households 73% consume wine – 66% at least once a week. Here are some strong trends in Danish wine consumption that will probably be reinforced even more in the years to come:    -       People prioritize food and wine pairing. The number of consumers finding grape variety important when selecting wine has increased over the two past years. -       People now not only want quality food and quality wine, but lighter food and lighter wine. -       White wine and rosé consumption has increased significantly. It has hitherto primarily been driven by younger consumers in the age from 18-24. As other age groups follow in their steps it can be expected that the demand for more complex rosé wines will be growing. -       There is an increasing demand for organic wine, aligning with some of the prevalent general trends in Denmark: health and sustainability.

Mexico: A Growing Hub for Future Wine Consumption! 🇲🇽🍇 *** Mexico is quickly becoming a growing market for wine, especially imported varieties. While beer and tequila have traditionally been more popular, many people in Mexico, especially in cities and among younger adults, are now choosing wine more often. As more Mexicans have disposable income, wine is becoming a trendy and sophisticated choice for gatherings, dinners, and special occasions. Imported wines are becoming easier to find in stores, restaurants, and wine shops across the country. This variety gives Mexican consumers more options to try different kinds of wines from around the world. Many people are now exploring new wine flavors and styles that they might not have had access to before. Social media and travel have also exposed more Mexicans to international wine culture, leading to increased interest. As wine is often seen as a lighter, more refined alternative to stronger drinks, it’s gaining popularity among health-conscious consumers as well. In the future, the demand for imported wine in Mexico is expected to keep growing, making the country an important market for global wine producers. With expanding tastes and more options available, wine consumption in Mexico is set to rise even further.
