In general, Grapest Wines & Co. is on a mission to create "wine for the grapest food." Its first project, Pizza Wine, is made in Italy with handpicked Sangiovese red Italian wine grapes. As part of the task of creating the pizza-specific wine product, Grapest Wines & Co. collaborated with sommeliers, mixologists and friends. While there are many wine drinkers who are seriously interested in the wine production process, Grapest Wines & Co.'s products appeal to the foodie who is fixated on fun flavor experimentation. As such, the brand addresses its target consumer, by saying "you don't care about our fancy production process. The silver lining here is that this tastes great pairing it with pizza." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wine Pairing:** Creating wines specifically designed to enhance the flavors of certain foods opens up opportunities for more targeted and enjoyable pairing experiences. - **Flavor Experimentation:** Appealing to foodies who love to try new and exciting flavor combinations can lead to innovative products that cater to their adventurous taste buds. - **Collaborative Production:** Collaborating with experts in the field, such as sommeliers and mixologists, can result in unique and expertly crafted wine products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Creating wines specifically for pairing with certain foods opens up a new market segment within the food and beverage industry. - **Hospitality:** Restaurants and hotels can embrace wine pairing trends to enhance their customers' dining experiences and offer unique and memorable options. - **Wine Production:** Collaborations with experts and a focus on flavor experimentation can drive innovation within the wine production industry, creating new and exciting wine products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizza-Paired Tomato Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomato-wine.md) - [Unconventional Pizza Pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-tail-x-dominos.md) - [Innovative Pizza-Wine Pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alileo-wines.md) - [Wine-Pairing Tiplines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coppola-wine-pizzaline.md) - [Food-Friendly Wine Pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pernod.md) - [Burger-Friendly Wine Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greasy-fingers-wines.md) - [All-Natural Pizza Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-vodka.md) - [Parent-Friendly Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidfresh-reserve.md) - [Cookie-Paired Wine Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-and-wine.md)
