Previously, the official colors of [Bordeaux](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barton-guestier) and [Champagne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champagne-lanson-1) have been established, and now English Sparkling joins the ranks as a classic wine color. The off-white shade is described as a "tastefully elegant" one that captures qualities such as warmth, freshness and modernity. Those who are looking to invite the light and soothing wine color into their homes will now be able to do with the help of [Valspar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valspar-couples-colour-matching-tool), which has created an interior paint in the English Sparkling shade. In recent years, the popularity of sparkling wine has grown to the point where it rivals champagne—now, the color of English Sparkling is set to become just as prevalent as a timeless color choice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Publicity Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/publicitystunts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wine Color Swatches:** As wine makers collaborate with paint companies to create branded color swatches, wineries and paint manufacturers have a disruptive opportunity to collaborate to combine the sale of wines and paint - **Establishing Classic Colors for Wine Varietals:** As classic colors of individual wine varietals are established, wine makers have disruptive innovation opportunities to create new blends of different varietals and claim new colors for their brand - **Growing Popularity of Sparkling Wine:** As sparkling wine becomes more popular, there is disruptive innovation opportunity for wineries to create new flavors of sparkling wine and capitalize on the rise of this trend ### Who This Affects Most - **Wine Manufacturing:** Wineries collaborating with paint companies can combine the sale of wines and paint for interior design, dominating the market - **Interior Designing:** Interior paint manufacturers and designers have an opportunity to create wine colored shades for interior decoration that are trendy and have a unique story - **Retail:** With the growing popularity of sparkling wine, retail stores have a chance to expand their wine selections with sparkling wines and gain a competitive advantage in the market ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Effervescent Soft Pink Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupiolo-prosecco-ros.md) - [English Canned Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-uncommon-wine.md) - [Pink-Hued Luxury Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champagne-lanson-1.md) - [High-Quality Laidback Canned Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-white-wine.md) - [Pink-Hued White Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cono-sur-bicicleta.md) - [Accessible French Sparkling Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freixenet-brut-royal-and-ros-royal.md) - [Contemporary Accessible Wine Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bink-wines.md) - [Effervescent Orange Wine Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-sparkling-orange-wine.md) - [Art-Covered Sparkling Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desiderio-n1-limited-edition-art-bottles.md)
