Move Over Prosecco: Why Crémant Is The Sparkling Wine of Choice for UK Shoppers
Crémant Is The Sparkling Wine Of Choice: Crémant offers the perfect opportunity to explore different French regions, styles and flavors, allowing consumers to learn more about the variety on offer and to establish their own preferences between for example, crisp and fresh, fruity and rounded or rich and complex.
The majority of Crémant is imported into the UK by producers such as Groupe Grands Chais de France. Brands such as Louis Couturier, Calvet and Moillard are beginning to appear on shop shelves and it is a category which is forecast to experience fast growth in the UK. Louis Couturier for example is expected to reach sales of over half a million cases by 2026.
Why Crémant Is The Sparkling Wine Of Choice
Crémant is new yet familiar. Crémant is celebratory yet different to the usual choice of Prosecco, providing the drinker with something more to interest them. Thus it’s easy to see why consumers are choosing to switch to this sparkling French wine.
So whether you are having a summer’s BBQ and need a couple of bottles to keep chilled all day, a sophisticated do and serving with canapés, or indeed you are having a relaxed lunch with friends, Crémant is the perfect choice of wine. Very elegant, stylish yet so very accessible to the wider market. We love it.
And to those who have long been accustomed to drinking the nation’s favourite affordable fizz, Crémant is an exciting new alternative. Whether you’re looking for a special bottle to celebrate or a quality sparkling wine that doesn’t have to cost a Champagne price tag, then French is the word!
Why We Love It
We love Crémant for the quality, value and choice it offers. Elevated enough from the run-of-the-mill supermarket Prosecco yet reasonably priced for daily consumption, and offered in a variety of styles from different regions of France, it makes the perfect wine for the enthusiast who is new to French wine and doesn’t know where to start.
The Verdict
Crémant is a brilliant alternative to Prosecco for consumers looking for a smarter, more stylish alternative to usual, affordable sparkling wines. It’s a grown up drink, not made of cheap ingredients. And unlike Champagne, it won’t break the bank. A rapidly growing category with lots of different regional styles, of which there are more arriving on the shelves by the week, this is one wine trend that looks set to have a long shelf life.
