Posted @withregram • @sommelierschoiceawards The U.S. wine market remains the largest single-country market in the world by retail value, estimated at $109 billion in 2024, with California producing over 80% of the nation’s wine. Despite market pressures, Italian wines continue to shine on U.S. on-premise wine lists, delivering unmatched quality, heritage, and memorable experiences for diners. 🍷 Importers are the bridge that brings these wines to restaurants, hotels, and bars, combining craftsmanship with commerce to help sommeliers and beverage directors curate exceptional wine programs. This year, Today Imports was honored as Importer of the Year – Italy 2025, a recognition of outstanding curation, expertise, and strong trade relationships. As we celebrate the importers shaping America’s on-premise wine scene, producers have the opportunity to join this movement and have their wines discovered by the experts who influence top U.S. wine lists. Could your wines earn this honor next year? 🍷 🚨 Super Early Bird is now open. Enter your wines for the 2026 Sommeliers Choice Awards and save $40 per entry. Enter now via the link in bio! 🔗 . . . .

Posted @withregram • @wine_meridian The Italian wine market in the United States is experiencing a phase of strong change. According to the importer Cristian Valbruzzoli, the premium segment is now at a standstill: bottles over 70 dollars no longer have the same appeal as they used to and consumers are moving towards quality wines in the 20-25 dollar range. To weigh on the sector were first the pandemic and then the duties, which caused a 28% drop in sales in recent months. In this scenario, companies capable of maintaining competitive prices find space, while many small import companies risk closure. Red remains the absolute protagonist, with 85% of consumption, followed by rosés, but today in overproduction and strongly hindered by French competition. Low-end or alcohol-free wines, on the other hand, according to Valbruzzoli, will remain a niche. The biggest challenge concerns communication: “Made in Italy” works, but the knowledge of the American consumer is limited to a few iconic denominations. Native grapes, wines from the South and even fine bubbles such as Franciacorta remain little known, penalized by the direct comparison with Champagne. To remain competitive, according to Valbruzzoli, greater collaboration along the supply chain and a review of excessive top-ups in American restaurants are essential. Only in this way will Italian wine be able to regain momentum in a rapidly evolving market. 👉 Read the full article on winemeridian.com #lyrawine #vinoitaliano #wine #wineimport #winemeridian
