Wine and wine-based beverages tout their low-sugar formulations
Trend - Low-sugar wines and wine-based drinks are on the rise as brands look to change their branding from being "low-calorie" to implying that their products healthier in general. These products include everything from canned sparkling wines to more traditional white wines.
Insight - The body positive movement among Millennials and Gen Z has brought on a greater understanding of health, and how it doesn't always correlate with a person's weight. Thus, there's been a slow but steady increase in demand for products and services that promise all-encompassing health benefits rather than weight loss specifically. Brands that are able to focus more on nutritious ingredients than in dieting are able to cater to younger, more informed demographics.
