WINE TRENDS

Is wine trendy?

My mother used to say if you keep all your clothes that you think are going out of style, they will eventually come back in style in 20 years.   Hmmmm…….Maybe wine has some commonalities with fashion.  In the 80’s, many were drinking Rose’s.  In the early 90’s, white zinfandel was making a hit, and toward the end of the 90’s Merlots were known to most newcomers.  In the early 2000’s, Pinot Noir’s were making their rounds and then Shiraz’s were starting to be known to many.  Now around 2017, Rose’s are back in the picture and when dining out, I am seeing many folks ordering Rose’s again.  Funny how everything is truly cyclical. Let’s see if White Zinfandel makes a huge comeback soon?
