Today on Exploring the Wine Glass, I sit down with several of my wine loving friends and we discuss a very scary topic. One that is rather hard to believe is actually happening, but numbers don’t lie. There has been a decline in the consumption of wine throughout 2019, and the trend seems to be continuing into 2020.

There are many beliefs as to why this downfall is occurring and like many things in the today’s world, it is blamed on those darn millennials! Do they really have that much power? What about this generation is causing the wine industry to stop and take notice and quite honestly begin to quake in their shoes? I am not willing to rule them out, but I also am not so inclined to think that this trend is based solely on them. There has to be more to it, and I bring these additional topics up to my panel to get their opinions. And for fun, don’t forget we always end these episodes with a riddle! Will you be able to solve it before they do?

On the show with me today:

Maria Ferraro Beardsley of Wine and Cheese Friday

Michael Kelly of California Wines and Wineries

John Taylor of Pairs with Life

Debbie Gioquindo of Hudson Valley Wine Goddess

RIDDLE:

I have keys, but no locks. I have space but no rooms. You can enter, but you can’t go outside. What am I?
