While we have been sipping, wine sales have been dipping! The wine world is suffering from a decline in those who consume our favorite beverage, which has led to wineries closing their doors, grapes being left behind on the vine and an industry grappling with what to do next. Is this just a temporary shift or is the start of a downward spiral? We delve into the various factors affecting this trend, the evolving market, and if this a true Decline of Wine. We urge you to pop a bottle and drink along with us, if only to support the future of the wine world.

Indigenous grapes like Graševina or Plavac Mali might be hard to pronounce, but not to drink.
