A recent analysis by market research firm BW166 indicates that the U.S. wine market has achieved a remarkable milestone, with sales surpassing $115.33 billion in 2025. This figure encompasses both domestic and imported wines.
According to Jon Moramarco, Managing Partner of BW166, the latest data reflects a total consumer spending increase from $112.477 billion in the previous year. Moramarco, with over 40 years of experience in the wine industry, emphasized that this growth represents a 2.5% increase in revenue compared to 2024.
Interestingly, while revenue has surged, the volume of wine sold has decreased, dropping from 370.7 million 9-liter cases in 2024 to 361.8 million in 2025, marking a decline of -2.4%.
Moramarco attributes this paradox to several factors. He noted a decline in lower-priced wines, while higher-priced options remain stable or even show growth. This shift has led to an increase in the average price per bottle, significantly contributing to the overall revenue figure.
Additionally, the market continues to evolve, with consumers increasingly gravitating towards premium wines, reflecting a broader trend in the wine industry.
As the landscape of wine consumption shifts, the U.S. market demonstrates resilience and adaptability, paving the way for future growth.
