22 Wine-Friendly Trends for ‘22

As we look toward a prosperous and enjoyable 2022, we’ve gathered some hot, new things for you to keep on your radar to taste, sip and share. 1. Chillable Reds Once a niche trend, this is now taking off. Put your favorite lighter/fruity reds in an ice bucket before serving for a bright, fresh change. Or serve them on ice. Chillable Reds Try these favorites chilled: Terroir Cellars 2020 Grenache Glory Cellars 2017 Hero's Blend Fog Vineyards 2020 Zinfandel 2. Spritzers We always love spritzers. Easy-breezy, versatile and refreshing. Most popular with white wines, they work with nearly any varietal and also with rosés and reds. Here’s one to enjoy: Pomegranate and Lemon Rosé Spritzer. Pomegranate and lemon rose spritzers Crisp and refreshing, festive and bubbly, these can be made in less than 15 minutes. *Recipe and photo courtesy of shortgirltallorder.com. 3. Wine in Cans Grab a few and bring them along. Cooler-friendly, in individual portions, easy to recycle. Also delicious. Try our Suburban Fracas in two well-loved varietals.
