I wonder if the proliferation of breweries and craft beers across the country are having an impact on this?

My wine consumption is much less than 10 years ago, but more than last year.
Wine also seems much more expensive for consumption when going out. Guess it has always been that way.

This is a major impact. White claw is trendy now, and bitches love trends

I'm the opposite. I've moved to the wine side and drink it significantly more than anything else. And at my regular spots, the wine HH specials far surpass the cocktails or beer.
But yeah, a glass of wine at dinner can be $10-$15 per. Which is high.

Zima was so ahead of its time.

I never drank a ton of wine to begin with. Now I mostly drink it at a nice dinner. Occasionally I’ll have a glass with the wife (no pics), who loves wine. I drink more craft beer than I care to admit, but it’s mostly at one brewery. When I’m at home or a bar, it’s Miller Lite or bourbon.
Note: I am a millennial.

My wine consumption has ramped exponentially for several years.

I might be the wierdo...drinking more wine after 40, and less beer even though Im surrounded by it daily and have it at my disposal.
Buying better quality wine too...collecting it for a poor mans cellar ($30-100.00 bottles, maybe 75 bottles so far)
edit: looks like im not alone

I just talked to a buddy last night who said something like "it seems everyone is getting into better wine these days." Probably just a product of being in your mid-30s as everyone grows into professional life, but certainly people around me seem more into wine than ever before.
Wine is just more fulfilling to me - collectible, a good reason to travel to some great places, a solid way to choose restaurants, a ton of stuff to learn and a lot of resources to do it, etc.

This is true in my market. I'm in fine wine and my business in 2019 was great. We were up pretty big and finished way up. My wife does mostly mainstream stuff and they were hurting. White claw and craft beer hurts that business more than it does high end stuff.

Agreed, but Smirnoff Ice was super popular at one point. I’d even say it was more popular than Zima.

I knew that white zinfandel sales would taper off once the old people start dying off.

Nope. More.

Nope. In fact, I started making wine and planting my subsistence vineyard last year and am drinking way more of it now than ever.
