2026 is here, and a new set of drink trends is poised to emerge. As we anxiously await what the year has in store, we’re predicting that shaved-ice cocktails, lower wine prices, and simpler beer will show up on menus across the country.

Join us for a live podcast recording at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, Calif., on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026
