Collecting is a hobby that’s largely passed down from generation to generation, with those coming of age typically gathering a collection based on a similar criteria to those imagined by their elders. But when it comes to spirits and wine, the nature of this phenomenon has yet to be realized. Will millennials and Gen-Zers stash away the fun, geeky, interesting wines they fall in love with in their 20s, or will they stick to the tried-and-true high-end wines from Napa, Burgundy, and the like?
On this episode of the “VinePair Podcast,” Adam, Joanna, and Zach ponder the future of wine collecting: Will millennials and beyond continue to seek out and value the same kinds of wines as older collectors? Will there be as many people interested in wine collecting as in the past? Will wine knowledge and aptitude continue to have the same kind of cultural cachet as they do now? Tune in for more.
