Wine-Searcher reports that white wine is continuing to pull away from red, arguing that the shift is now visible not just in anecdotes but in production and sales data across multiple countries. The piece says white now accounts for 49% of all wine made globally, with OIV data showing red’s share down from about 48% in 2000 to roughly 43% today, while white production has risen and consumption has jumped by 57.5% in the US, 29.3% in Australia and 20.3% in the UK, making this one of the clearest signs that consumer preferences are moving towards fresher, lighter styles.
