Wine Insights Report

Current and future trends in wine

Why purchase?

Our latest Wine Insight series, in association with The Buyer, provides a 360-degree view of the fast-moving out-of-home wine drinking market. It shows how wine is flourishing in the dynamic casual dining sector, but also indicates that restaurants and suppliers could grow sales further if they properly understand consumers’ needs and habits. In such a competitive wine drinking market, intelligence like this is absolutely crucial to success.

This four-part report series uses a combination of thought leadership, online interviews from over 8,000 wine drinkers, key volumetric and sales data from CGA’s proprietary OPMS service and interviews with the key experts within the on-trade wine category to answer the most important and frequently asked questions around on-trade wine.

“The CGA Wine Insight Reports are extensively used across our business, both internally to support strategy and with customers throughout the UK, ensuring accurate and insightful data is shared.”

Issue 3: The Future for Fizz

CGA turn the lens on the increasingly dynamic category of sparkling wine and champagne to provide an update on how the category has evolved from a consumer and sales perspective
