As we enter 2012 with unsteady markets, it seems appropriate to make a guess at what the wine trends will be and what wines we should be looking for.\u00a0 After some initial research, I have spotted some common wine trends:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Local Wines – The movement to reduce carbon emissions and consume locally grown products has extended to the wine industry in the past few years and this will continue to grow.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Less is More – New world wines with overripe grapes and high alcohol contents have lost their popularity and will be replaced by classic, elegant wines with less alcohol levels (below 13 or 14%). This style marks the return to the tradition of flavorful, balanced wines. There will also be less wood flavors with more clear fruit forward wines.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Retailers Resurgent – Employees have never been more knowledgeable and have become less snobby.\u00a0 There will be more in-store tastings with a culture of service becoming more important.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

4. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Burgundy is the New Bordeaux – As prices for Bordeaux continue to rise, more wine lovers are choosing wines from Burgundy. This is evidenced at some recent New York and Hong Kong wine auctions.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
