      I use white wine, bourbon, rum in cooking all the time as another condiment. They make meat taste much better. Wine is just food. It is also used as a blood thinner to fight plaque buildup in arteries.

    In the late 1990s and early 2000s, wine was booming, fueled by a combination of affordability and cultural trends like the "French paradox." However, as demand soared, so did prices-especially for premium wines. By the mid-2010s, many wineries were charging sky-high prices, seemingly banking on the idea that consumers would keep paying for the "prestige" of wine.
    But younger generations aren’t buying it-literally. Millennials and Gen Z grew up in an era of craft beer, hard seltzers, and even legal cannabis, which are often cheaper and more accessible. Add to that the relentless marketing spin about every wine being handpicked, handcrafted, and "aged in unicorn tears," and it feels like the industry prioritized profits over connecting with evolving consumer tastes.
    Now, with rising costs and cheaper alternatives, it’s no surprise the industry is in decline. Wine was once a joy, not a financial investment. Perhaps it’s time for winemakers to trade their hay bales of nonsense for a more grounded approach to pricing and marketing.

      I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
      information can be a big hurdle. I've been
      making more than $100k passively by just
      investing through an advisor, and I don't have
      to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
      finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
      people who panic.

    Click bait piece which failed to get across the main fact and that is people drank too much wine during the pandemic and are now cutting back. No, the main problem with US wine that is most popular, it’s too sweet compared to French wines. There are good US wines with low sugar, but they are not what is bought. Sugar in wine is the number one cause of post drinking headaches, other than ethanol it self. Same for beer.
