December 31, 2024

2024 was a year of transition for the wine world, with old-guard retirements, new buyers on the scene, and big names changing hands. Market shifts saw previous owners buying back their namesake businesses, an average 25% drop in Bordeaux futures prices, and major retailers adapting their strategies to attract younger consumers.

The year also brought plenty of crime and courtroom drama, with thievery, bankruptcy, permit suits, and money laundering capturing the wine-loving public’s attention. As 2025 approaches, Wine Spectator has a recap of its most-read news stories of 2024.
