A new study reveals that Americans are drinking less wine than before – and one doctor told Fox News Digital that he is not surprised by this trend.
The data compiled by the wholesalers of the summer and the souls of the Sysurce of America found that wine sales fell by nearly 8% in 2024 compared to 2023.
The fall in wine sales includes both sales in restaurants and summer stores, according to the report, which was published in early January.
Summer sales fell by 7.9%, “few undergo the overall decline in the premise by 1.3%,” according to the report by Sipsource.
“Dinner reached 55.6% of the revenue from the premise summer, but tracked the growth of the grass and nightclub with a point and a half, which holds a 15% portion of the sales of wine in the premise,” the report said.
“Table wines”, or red and white varieties, accounted for 75% of total wine income – and decreased by 8% compared to a year ago, for Sipsource.
Gas wine or champagne accounted for 16.8% of total wine sales, according to Sipsource, and also suffered an 8% sales decline.
“The dining channel continues to face important challenges for summer and souls,” the report said.
“While consumers are increasingly shifting to purchases outside the premise and other alternatives, the sector is trying to recover.”
Dr. The California Raj Dasgupta told Fox News Digital that the news is expected somewhat as Americans are drinking less.
“I have seen that more people become aware of the dangers of alcohol -related health, and this is likely to contribute to the decline in wine consumption,” said Dasgupta, who specializes in domestic medicine with Huntington Health in the area of Los Angeles.
“We now know that even moderate drinking can increase the risk of conditions like cancer, liver disease and heart problems,” he added. Â
Now that people are discussing the dangers of alcohol, he said, along with a push to place alcohol warning labels, “it is not surprising that people are rethink their habits.” Â
Dasgupta had another theory of why summer sales were falling: Mocktail’s rise.
“Younger generations, more than ever, are turning into alcohol -free options that offer social experience of drinking without health weakness,” he said.
Non-alcoholic beverages, said Dasgupta, “are more accessible and more convenient, which makes summer feel less attractive in comparison.”
“Less is less to like summer and more about how people are giving priority to health and ease,” he said.
