Interested in learning about wine, but not sure where to start? You're in the right place. Welcome to the Cork and Fizz Guide to Wine podcast. I'm your host, Haley Bullman, and I'm so glad you're here. I'm a wine enthusiast turned wine educator and founder of the Seattle based wine tasting business Cork and Fizz. It is my goal to build your confidence in wine by making it approachable and lots of fun. You can expect to learn everything from how to describe your favorite wine to what to pair with dinner tonight and so much more. Whether you're a casual wine sipper or a total cork dork like myself, this podcast is for you. So grab yourself a glass and let's dive in. Welcome back to the Cork and Fizz Guide to Wine Podcast. Today, you're in for a special treat. I am feeling especially opinionated, and I will be sharing my take on some 2025 wine trends. Now I took some of these from articles that were recent, so within the last couple months. So it's, like, been 2025, and so they're like, these are the trends that are coming up. And then I did take a couple from, like, things that were written at the end of twenty twenty four that were trying to predict what the wine trends would be. But I thought it would be fun to kind of go into these and figure out, you know, are these things purely trendy, or is it a little unfair calling it a trend? And we're actually hoping it's gonna stick around for a little bit. A lot of these are topics that I feel like bring up a lot of feelings when we talk about them. So I was like, why not take this opportunity, share my opinions? Now, again, a lot of this is going to be my opinions. If you do not have the same opinions as me, that's totally fine. We're allowed to feel differently about this stuff. So just keep that in mind. But a lot of this I'm just sharing from my point of view as somebody who is into the wine world, does work in the wine industry somewhat, but isn't somebody who's like in the middle of it, in the thick of it. I don't sell wine by any means, but I am active on social media and also do a lot of wine education. So I have a little bit extra insight and especially with this podcast, getting to talk to a lot of people who are also in the wine industry. I'm gonna take all of that information that I have plus my own personal opinions and use that to talk to you about some of these trends. And I did just wanna shout out the two places that I gathered these wine trends from. The first one is actually it was an article on Toast, which I feel like I don't read that often, and I wouldn't think of having a good wine article, but they do. And it was an article they wrote, that is the top 15 wine trends, wine stats and trends of 2025 written by Jim McCormick. And then the second one that I used was an article on the new wine review, which if you are a wine dork, such as myself, go check out the wine review. They have so many amazing articles. I'm on their mailing list as well. I love getting their emails. They have a lot of fun stuff. But this is one theirs was actually one is like what will happen in 2025. And it was written by Jason Wilson. I did also use a little bit of an article from, July, which was, let me get the title of that for you. This article is five industry trends to watch in 2025. So again, written in the beginning, like January of twenty twenty five. So these are more kind of trying to predict, versus the other one. The first one that I mentioned was actually written later and has the idea of, like, what are we actually seeing in 2025? So for each of these trends, I'm gonna share let's see. We've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. We've got seven of them. So I'm gonna tell you what the trend is. Why is it trendy? And then I'm gonna share my take on it. So let's dive in. Okay. Our first trend for 2025, can you guess it? It is natural and organic wines. This is basically wines that are made with minimal intervention using organic or biodynamic farming methods. So I feel like we can throw biodynamic wine in there as well. Little to no additives, including low amounts of sulfur. This trend seems to group these two together. And then, like I said, along with biodynamic wines, but keep in mind that they are different designations. Like you can be organic certified, you can be biodynamic certified. Natural really doesn't have a certification to it. So just good to remember that. I've actually done a previous podcast episode about this. I cannot remember what the episode number is, but I'm sure we'll link it in the show notes. If you wanna go check it out and learn more about natural, organic, and biodynamic wine. Now, why is this trendy? So we're looking at younger generations who are of drinking age, of course. They are far more conscious of both environmental and health impacts of what they eat and drink. So they are drawn to wines on a menu or in a store that prioritize transparency and sustainability. Now the thing is that other wines could be low intervention, but it's hard to tell just by looking at a label or seeing a wine on a list. So having something labeled as organic or signifying on the bottle that it is natural lets wine buyers know that that is something they can trust with this wine. Now my take on this, I am a fan as long as, this is important, we keep in mind some important things. First of all, natural can mean a lot of things. Okay. Like you can honestly, there is nothing that's stopping you from just putting that on your wine label. Like there is nothing like you could just say this is natural wine because it's made with grapes. Those are natural. Right? So just keep in mind that like that term doesn't necessarily mean what you might think it means. Also, there are some wines that are made organically or nearly organic, but aren't labeled as such because it costs so much money for especially a small winery to become certified organic. I've also talked to many winemakers and a lot of them feel like spraying copper on their grapes, which is a common practice for wineries that are organic, is just as bad for the soil as it is spraying like a pesticide or like a certified organics, not even a certified organic, but a pesticide that is somewhat safer. Like I said, I don't have personal experiences with myself, but it was just curious to hear wine makers sharing that and saying like, and especially with sulfur or with the copper, you might have to spray ten, eleven times over a single summer. And that's because it washes off with every single bout of rain. So if you're worried about pests, you got to spray that copper all the time or worried about mold and such. I also think you shouldn't only buy a wine or think you should like a wine because it's organic or natural. Like that shouldn't be the only thing that you're thinking about when purchasing wine. I think it's important, and I think it's, you know, great if you want to choose to only buy wines that are organic and natural organic and or natural, I should say. But I don't think you should say, like, oh, it's organic. I'm gonna buy it. Like, learn a little bit more about the wine, find out where it's from because you're still gonna find wines that you like and don't like that are organic and natural. Just a quick reminder, if you are not on my mailing list yet, what are you waiting for? I would love for you to join.

I send out a weekly newsletter filled with wine tips, recommendations, special offers, and so much more. Now let's get back to the show. Okay. Moving on. Also, as I'm saying all this, I feel like this is such a perfect episode to, like, please message me after you listen to this and tell me your thoughts on these trends. I wanna hear, do you agree with me? Do you think I'm going crazy? Did I miss something? So feel free to send me a message on Instagram at cork and fizz or email me, hayley@corkandfizz.com. I believe if you're listening on Spotify, you can also leave a comment on the podcast or text me. That's an actual number that I will respond to. It is my phone number, not like my, like, personal phone number. I'm sorry. We're not we're not that close yet, but it is me who will respond to you if you text there. But, yeah, let me know your take on these trends because this next one I'm gonna share, it might be a little bit of a hot take. I don't know. We'll see. So this next trend is low and no alcohol wines. So what is it? It is exactly what it sounds like. It is wines that are made with either low alcohol or no alcohol at all. I'm also going to loop into this kinda category as drinks made with other substances, including THC, so like weed soda, and then other adaptogens as well, not necessarily weed, but other things that are meant to give you a certain feeling. It is trendy because, well, there's a rise in wellness culture and there's a lot of interest in enjoying a fun or sophisticated beverage, but without the effects of alcohol. I also feel like as of lately, alcohol has been deemed unhealthy in any amount. So before there was a belief that like, oh, you could have, like, you know, one drink a day and that's fine or seven drinks a week for women, 14 drinks a week for men, or red wine is good for your heart, or, you know, they'd share all these things. And then now it's coming out that, you know, the idea is that no alcohol is part of a healthy diet, which and this is where we're gonna get into my takes on this. I have very mixed feelings about this, trend. I will say naturally low alcoholic wines. So wines that are made in cooler regions and where the grapes aren't getting quite as ripe, they have super high acidity. You know, we're in, like, the 11% alcohol. I love that stuff. Like, that is good stuff. You do not need 14% alcohol to have a great wine. I don't love if you're manipulating the wine to try to decrease the alcohol in it. Right? If it's not something that is naturally creating a low alcoholic wine, I just don't love the manipulation, which takes me to the nonalcoholic wines, the wines that have none at all, which actually truth be told, nonalcoholic wines have, like, point 5% alcohol. Like, they can't remove everything, but it's, like, such a minimal amount. I mean, you'll find that in, like, fruit juices and stuff. They don't have to tell you that. Nonalcoholic wines, like, again, you're manipulating it so much that and I feel like part of what makes wine is the alcohol, unfortunately. You know? Like, fortunately, unfortunately, I don't know. I think when you remove the alcohol from wine, it does remove flavor, and it it affects the body of the wine. And so you're just not drinking the same thing. That said, I love me a good mocktail. Okay? I definitely do not think you need to have alcohol in your drink. I just kinda think you need alcohol in your wine. I don't know. Like I said, it's kind of a hot day. And I just don't know how I feel about adding in other substances like THC or the other adaptogens. I feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of not having alcohol. I mean, if you look at these things, like one of the reasons things I think about, you know, is like, if I'm ever pregnant in the future, like, I would want to drink something, but it's not gonna be wine, obviously. And then you look at these nonalcoholic options and it's like, wait, that's not safe for pregnant people. That's not safe for pregnant people. And at least to me, that just kind of like defeats the purpose of, like, having something for wellness that, you know, you've gotten the alcohol out of it because the alcohol is bad for you, but this other stuff is fine, except no, we don't allow pregnant people to drink it. So like, you know, mixed. And truthfully, I do believe wine can be a part of a healthy diet for most people. I totally understand for some people, they cannot have any wine at all. They cannot have any alcohol at all, and that is what's best for them. But I think for a lot of other people, you can have wine as part of a healthy diet. I mean, look at, we interviewed, Nikki who is making wine in Sardinia, and she has her husband's family in Sardinia. And that is a blue zone, and they have wine almost every day. You know? So I'm just not loving the trend that's, like, demonizing alcohol and making it seem like you like, in order to be healthy, you need to never drink wine. I think everybody has the right to make their own choice. I'm never gonna pressure anybody who doesn't wanna drink, but I also feel like I can have it as part of my diet for myself and still have a healthy diet, if that makes sense. And if I'm gonna drink wine, I'm gonna drink wine that has alcohol in it. Like that's that is my take on it. I really wanna hear your take on the low and no alcohol wine as well. Okay. Next one, this is far less controversial. So we're just gonna, like, we're just gonna go back to the safe road here. Sustainable and eco friendly packaging. So this is basically like boxed wines, cans, lightweight glass bottles, and using these in, you know, in replacement of the heavier glass bottles that we use typically in an effort to reduce their environmental footprint. Why is it trendy? Well, there's a growing emphasis on sustainability and waste reduction. Consumers are more likely to support businesses that prioritize eco friendly practices. Plus, some of these formats are more practical for certain scenarios. Like if you yourself just wanna have a glass of wine, you don't wanna have to open a full bottle. Right? You can just open a can of wine. Or let's say you're having a big party and, you know, you don't wanna have to buy a ton of bottles. You can buy a couple boxes of wine. Now my take on this, as long as the wine is still crafted with intention, I'm all for it. Right? So, basically, what I mean by that is that I'm not a fan of, like, cheap bulk wine in a can or in a box. I think I mean, that's great that they're using those. I guess I like that more than cheap bulk wine in a bottle. Right? Like, I'm not against the eco friendly part of it. I'm just against the, like, using, oh, we're eco friendly to then sell bad wine. Right? Like, I still want it to be good wine. So, there's a canned wine company. I actually just did a Q and A with the court crew with them, MakerWine. I am a huge fan of them, and they're putting high quality wine from small producers in a can. And it's a small can. It's a one third the size of a bottle of wine. So it is great for, like, a single serving. It's about a glass and a half. And it's a can, obviously, so way easier to recycle than the bottle. I also just tried a fun wine in an aluminum bottle. This came from Currently, is the name of the wine brand and they're focused on making wine with a lower carbon footprint. So like I said, I am all for this. Just as long as we don't forget that the wine has to be like, we have to make good wine first, then let's care about how we're putting it in the bottle or what we're doing. And you can also have the sustainability as part of how you're making the wine as well. There are a lot of choices you can make in the vineyard and in the winery to contribute to that. Okay. This next one is I love that this is a trend. I'm already I'm telling you my take on it before we even get into it. Hey, wine lover. Interested in trying new wines, but not sure where to start?

So basically, wines from underrepresented regions, lesser known varieties are gaining popularity at restaurants and diners are becoming more adventurous in their selections. They want to go beyond France, Italy, and California. So why is it trendy? Again, consumers, they're sick of the same old, same old. You know, it's also easier to get wines from smaller regions than it was in the past. Now I shouldn't say this means it's easy. It's just easier than it was. Wine often comes with intriguing back stories from these regions as well, which is another trend we're gonna talk about after this. And consumers are also wanting to explore global food, so it makes sense that they wanna explore global wine as well. And so as I said before, before I even announced what the trend was, heck yeah, I am totally in favor of this trend. This is what I'm all about. I love the traditional wines. Don't get me wrong. I love a good, you know, French wine. But finding and exploring new wine regions and new just wines in general is so much fun. And I love that folks are feeling confident enough to do this, and I highly encourage you, you know, when next time you're out to eat and you're looking at the wine list, like, go for the one that you've never heard of. Like, why not? And speaking of trying new things, the other trend similar to this is hybrid and experimental varieties. So winemakers are experimenting with hybrid grape varieties and innovative techniques in creating wines that go beyond their traditional norms. What do I mean when I say hybrid grape? A hybrid grape is a combination of two different species of grapes. So most of the wines that we know of today come from are made with grapes that come from the Vita vinifera species, and this is a species that originates in Europe. So Vita vinifera is the species, and then you have different varieties of that species. So, you know, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, those are all varieties of the Vitis vinifera species. Now, if you take a, vine from the Vitis vinifera and combine it with a vine of a different species, like say, Vitis labrusca, which is a grape species that is indigenous to The US, you end up with a hybrid grape variety. And what happens is these hybrids are often bred to resist disease, adapt to climate changes, and, of course, offer a new distinct flavor profile. It's trendy because, well, it kinda has to be. Good old climate change is happening, and it's forcing winemakers to get creative. And consumers want new and exciting things. So why not create some new wine varieties, make it easier to grow grapes in whatever region you're in, and see what you can do with it? And, again, my take on this, just like previously, heck yes. Let's see what happens. I think, you know, there's definitely a good chance that there are some hybrid grapes that are not very exciting and they don't create very exciting wine, but there are a lot of really fun ones. And this is such a great area to just, like, dive into making wine fun, dive into the experiment. If you wanna learn more about hybrid grapes, actually, we did I feel like we were before the trend. So we actually interviewed Erin, who is a winemaker and the founder of American Wine Project, where she makes wines in Wisconsin, literally like eight miles from where I grew up and makes wine from hybrid grapes. So if you wanna learn more about that, I think it's like episode 10 is coming to mind, but don't quote me on that. Go back and look at the show notes. We'll put it in there for you. Okay. Last two trends and my takes on them. So this next one is wine education and tasting events, with a focus on experience and storytelling. I'm sure you'll be very surprised by my take on this by the end, but essentially, what is it? It sounds like what it is. Right? Wine education and tasting events are becoming way more popular. Guests want to deepen their wine knowledge in a fun and social setting. Younger generations want to learn more about wine and know more than just, like, what is it supposed to taste like? They're becoming more comfortable saying things like, I'm not familiar with that wine. Tell me more. Or what's the story behind this wine? And they want to know more about the people behind the wine. Who made it? How did they make it? What got them into wine? It's going beyond just like tasting what's in the glass. Again, why is this trendy? A few different reasons, but my personal belief is it's partially due to the abundance of choices when it comes to wine. And And the abundance of choices when it comes to, like, going wine tasting. When you have hundreds of wines to choose from, when you have a bunch of different wineries that you can visit, having one that has a story behind it, and one that gives you a, you know, a if a wine has a story behind it, and then if a winery has an experience where you go beyond just pouring a few wines for you to taste, that stands out. Right? That, like, it it makes you want to give it a try. I also thinks there's this desire for connection, and it is popping up everywhere. So, you know, folks wanna learn the story behind a bottle or enjoy a tasting class because it allows them to connect and allows them to connect with the person who made the wine, with the person who's selling the wine and the people who are drinking it with them. Right. There's that sense of connection. We basically want to move away from just faceless wine brands. You know, it's, it's, we're not just drinking to drink. We're drinking because we find it interesting and wanna learn more about it. Of course, my take on this, obviously, I couldn't agree more. I think wine tasting and experiences that is the inspiration behind creating cork and fizz in the first place. I love wine, but for more reasons than just the taste of wine. Right? Like, I created a whole business. I am so passionate about all this more than just because it tastes good. And I just love the idea of connection and how wine brings people together and how you have this opportunity to continue learning about wine and you can never learn enough about wine. Okay. Our last one, which I honestly kind of put as an honorable mention, but we're just gonna count it as our seventh trend of the podcast. And this is one that's like, again, I think this one's a little controversial, so we'll see what you think. So this trend is at demystifying or simplifying or making wine fun. I'm putting that in quotes if you can't tell. Making wine fun will finally be overdone. That's the trend. What do you think? Okay. Here's what it is. Basically, the idea of making wine simple and easy to understand or maybe oversimplifying. And this is primarily seen in the influencer space on social media or even in wine books. And why is this a trend? Now this was a trend that was predicted. So I don't know if we were totally seeing this or if this was just a trend that somebody predicted. I think for some folks it's getting a bit repetitive, right? The whole like let's demystify wine and you're like, okay, great. Yeah. Everybody else has done that. And for folks in the wine industry, I do think that sometimes we have a tendency to simplify wine to a point that it takes away from all the good things about wine. Right? It's kind of that idea of, like, if you say, okay, Chardonnay tastes like this. And it's like, wait. Okay. Like, a a Chardonnay can taste like that. Like, Chardonnay tastes like lemons and yellow apples and bread. And it's like, okay. That's an option, but actually, I can actually find a Chardonnay that tastes nothing like that and tastes like something else. Right? So it's like getting to the point of how do you introduce it without simplifying it to the point where, like, you're not actually really teaching about wine and you're taking away from it. Right? Or like, you know, just serving, like, having on your wine list a white wine or a red wine. Right? And like white wine is like this, or like food pairing is a great example of this. White wine should be paired with fish and red wine should be paired with meat. And it's like, that's a good place to start, but you are simplifying it. And, you know, there's a lot more that can that you can get out of that. And so my take on this is that I do see I feel like I see both sides. Wine is complex. It's a combination of farming, chemistry, art, and history, and the wine world is never ending. You can never stop exploring. So I do think we should be cautious about oversimplifying wine. However, on the flip side, due to all of that and how complex wine is, you know, it's overwhelming and I feel like it can be difficult to dive into as beginners. So I think it's important to meet people where they're at when it comes to teaching and talking about wine. And I do believe there's a way to demystify how we talk about wine while still upholding the adventure in mystery surrounding wine as a whole. Right? Like let's drop the complexity and the technical terms and the way we talk about wine when we're talking especially to beginners, but let's still bring the mystery to, you know, a place that folks can understand. Right? Like, you could do, you know, getting passionate about different elements of winemaking. Right? Talk about how, you know, maybe at a winery, they have an oak chardonnay and an unoaked chardonnay. And give those a taste side by side and talk about, you know, what does it mean when we put the wine in an oak barrel and what are the different things that could come out of it? And that, like, in the, you know, and introduce them to the idea that like, you might not just dislike Oak Chardonnay. It might be the ones you had before. Let's talk about this. Where does this come from? Offering other comparative flights, like trying wine at different temperatures. I remember I was at Taste Washington earlier this year and I tried, was it Carignan or Cinco? It was one of the, like, lesser known red wines. And they had it at a cooler, like a chilled temperature and then room temperature. And getting to taste those at the different temperatures was so fun. And I feel like that getting to experience that and then maybe doing a little bit of explaining on it allows you to still have that, like, fun mystery and complexity of wine, but make it approachable. Right? Like and you don't need to talk about you know, sometimes depending on who you're talking to, maybe talking about the different type of soil or the different, like, pH level or the number of bricks that were in you know, if I'm saying this and you're like, what the hell are you saying? That's probably how a lot of people feel, and that might not be necessary for those that are beginning versus talking about, okay, the acidity in this and how it balances with the sugar. Like, think of a glass of lemonade. Like, I don't think that's oversimplifying. I think that's meeting people where they're at and helping them learn. So like I said, I could see both sides. I get where they're coming from, but I also think we should be careful to, like, not discourage people from learning and, you know, not make it approachable. Okay. That was fun for me. I hope you enjoyed this episode. I hope I get to hear your thoughts and your take on these trends. And, also, let me know what trends did I miss. Is there another trend that you're seeing that you think we should bring up? I'd be happy. I can talk about it over on Instagram. I'm always chatting in my stories. So go send me a message at cork and fizz or email me haley@corkandfizz.com. Love to hear what you think. And if you like this episode and you're like, I wanna hear more of your hot take opinions, please rate this episode, leave a review, let me know, and I will do more of these episodes. In next week's episode, we're talking about high altitude wines. This is actually inspired by a recent wine night with friends. We did a my in laws recently moved to a high rise in Downtown Seattle. And so they had, like, a place where we could, you know, host a little party. And so we invited our friends that are part of the the wine club over for high altitude wines in a high rise. It was really fun. And so we tried a lot of really, really good wines, and it got me thinking like, I'd really like to dive deeper into this topic. So we're gonna talk about, you know, high altitude wines coming from the Alps, from the Andes, and more.
