INDUSTRY NEWS & TRENDS
According to IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, wines packaged in sizes 500ml and below are all growing faster than table wine. Single-serve wine formats are enjoying newfound popularity. Winemakers believe they're a way to reach new consumers who might find traditional bottles intimidating. They represent a significant new category in the overall wine market.

Nathan Greene, consulting analyst at New York-based Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC) stated, "Single serve makes consumption more accessible as consumers can avoid wasting a 750-ml bottle if they don't plan to drink multiple servings in a session," "Additionally, single serve allows wine to more compete directly with malt products including traditional beer and [flavored malt beverages] FMBs."
