Dealcoholised Wine Survey: Analysing an Evolving Market

Sondaggio sui Vini Dealcolati: Un'Analisi del Mercato in Evoluzione

Dealcoholised Wines: Market Trends and Changing Consumption Habits – A Survey on the Future of Wine

The wine world is undergoing a significant transformation, with dealcoholised wines emerging as a fast-growing trend. According to a recent report by Grand View Research [1], the global dealcoholised wine market is set to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% from 2024 to 2030, reaching a value of 3.78 billion dollars by 2030.

This growth is driven in part by a shift in drinking habits, particularly among young people. A study by the Osservatorio Permanente Sui Giovani e l'Alcol found that the proportion of drinkers aged 15 to 19 fell markedly between 2000 and 2015 [2], pointing to a trend towards healthier lifestyle choices.

At Wine Terroir Import we always keep a close eye on new dynamics in the industry, which is why we have decided to launch an in-depth survey into this phenomenon. Our aim is to gain a better understanding of the perceptions, drinking habits and market opportunities surrounding dealcoholised wines and non-alcoholic drinks in the Italian wine sector.

Exploring the Future of Dealcoholised Wine

Dealcoholised wines represent an intriguing development in the world of wine. They offer an alternative for those who want the taste of wine without the alcohol, opening up new drinking occasions and market possibilities. This trend ties in with the growing interest in a healthier lifestyle, which is leading many consumers to actively seek to cut down on their alcohol intake.

However, many questions remain open:

- How are dealcoholised wines perceived by consumers?

- What are the ideal drinking occasions for these beverages?

- How are dealcoholised wines positioned in the HORECA sector?

- What are the challenges and opportunities for producers and distributors?

To answer these and other questions, we have created three separate surveys, each aimed at a specific group:


For HORECA professionals: Go to the survey


For wine sales agents and representatives: Go to the survey


For everyday (private) wine consumers: Go to the survey

We invite you to take part in the survey that matches your category. Your opinion is essential to gaining a complete and accurate picture of the market.
