Top Trends Shaping 2026

• The "Nolo" Rise: Non-alcoholic and low-alcohol spirits are no longer a niche. The category is growing at nearly 10% annually. If you aren't offering a sophisticated "mocktail" with a botanical base, you’re missing a massive Gen Z demographic.

• AI Mixology: Bars and retailers are using AI to personalize recommendations and manage inventory. Some high-end venues are even using AI-driven "scent technology" to enhance the aromatic experience of a drink.

• Eco-Glass & Paper Bottles: Sustainability is the new status symbol. You’ll notice more lightweight glass bottles and even "bag-in-box" formats for premium wines to reduce carbon footprints.
