It is sometimes said that the young people of today do not drink wine. It may be true or not, but whatever the case it is very different from one country to another. A recent market report shows surprisingly positive numbers from New York and London. An overwhelming majority of the young people in these two cities say they drink wine, at least once in a while.

Admittedly we have learned recently that polls are not as reliable as we used to think. At least when it comes to politics. Maybe it’s different for wine though. If that is the case then the future for the wine world looks quite positive. At least if we look at a survey of the wine habits of young people living in New York and London, made this November by SOWINE/SSI for the French wine show Vinisud (that takes place in Montpellier end of January 2017).

The United States and Great Britain are the world’s two largest importers of wine measured in value. They come in second and third place after Germany in terms of volume.

So, are the young people in the big cities of New York and London drinking wine?
