Wine Prices Rise. 2025 opens with a rise in wine prices, the result of production instability that characterized the 2023 and 2024 harvests.

The transition from late 2025 to early 2026 captures a sector that isn't experiencing a "seasonal crisis," but rather a paradigm shift: structurally lower consumption, price pressure, shrinking large-scale retail trade, more selective exports, and a single category that continues to clearly act as a driving force: sparkling wines, especially Prosecco.
