A new study reveals that Americans are drinking less wine than previously – and a doctor told Fox News Digital that he is not surprised by this trend at all.
Data compiled by the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America’s SipSource found that wine sales dropped by nearly 8% in 2024 compared to 2023. The decline in wine sales includes both sales at restaurants and at wine stores, according to the report, which was published in early January. “I’ve seen more people become aware of the health risks linked to alcohol, and that’s likely contributing to the decline in wine consumption,” said Dr. Raj Dasgupta, who specializes in internal medicine with Huntington Health in the Los Angeles area.
