New research reveals that Americans are drinking less wine than before. The doctor told Fox News Digital that he was not surprised at this trend at all.
Wine and Spirits's US SIPSOURCE wholesalers have found that wine sales dropped by nearly 8 % in 2024 compared to 2023.
According to a report issued in early January, the decrease in wine sales includes both restaurants and sales at wine stores.
The problem of alcohol may be more than a hangover
According to SIPSOURCE reports, wine sales decreased by 7.9 %, stating that “the overall decrease in the overall on -premises is slightly inadequate.”
“The dining room has gained 55.6 % of the on -premises wine revenue, but has kicked the bar and the nightclub channel one half and half.
According to recent reports, Americans purchased wine, less than 2024 than 2023. (ISTOCK)
“Table wine” or red and white varieties account for 75 % of the total income of wine, decreasing by 8 % compared to the previous year per SIPSOURCE.
According to SIPSOURCE, sparkling wine or champagne accounted for 16.8 % of the total sales of wine and 8 % of sales.

Dr. Raj Dasugupta, California, told Fox News Digital that the news was somewhat expected, as the Americans drink so few alcohol.
Dasugupta, specializing in internal medicine with Huntington Health in Los Angeles, states:
Is it possible for more drinkers to look at no alcohol and low alcohol drinks in cancer concerns?
“We know that even moderate drinking can increase the risk of cancer, liver disease, and heart problems,” he added.
Doctors believe that more Americans are considering “alcohol -related health risks”, which may contribute to the decrease in wine sales. (ISTOCK)
Now that people are discussing alcohol risk, he promoted to attach a warning label to alcohol and said, “It's not surprising that people are reconsidering their habits.”

Dasgupta had another theory about why wine sales were decreasing. It is the rise of mocktails.
(Young people are looking at the mock claws for “social experiences of drinking without health drawbacks”.)
“The younger generation is focusing on the options without alcohol that provide social experience of drinking without any disadvantages of health,” he said.

Dasgupta said the non -alcoholic beverages were “accessible and convenient, so wine would not be attractive,” said Dasgupta.
