Summary

What’s Hot in Alsace?
We’ll dive into the rising stars — from the buzz around Pinot Noir to the unstoppable momentum of Crémant d’Alsace. What’s driving the trends, and where’s the smart money heading next?

What’s Cooling Off?
Is Gewurztraminer fading into the background again? And what’s the future of sweet wines in a dry-leaning market? We’ll explore shifting tastes, mixed signals, and why “Grand Cru” still sells — even when typicity takes a back seat.

What to Watch, Where to Focus
On the ground, things are changing — fast. You'll get a candid, insider view on how growers are evolving, which producers are sharpening their identity, and where real value hides in plain sight. Learn how to spot wines delivering top-tier quality without the top-shelf price.
