Low and no-alcohol wines are not a threat to the wine industry; they represent a growing opportunity for wineries to diversify their offerings. This session will showcase pioneering brands that recognized this shift early and are innovating in both production and marketing to maintain their brand integrity and quality standards. We will explore the latest advancements in low and no-alcohol wines, with a focus on preserving aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel — complete with samples for tasting. Attend this session to discover how you can seamlessly integrate low and no-alcohol wines into your portfolio, meeting the evolving needs of today’s consumers.
