Why Cava?
According to Sipsource Data from 2023,
Cava has enjoyed significant growth in higher price tiers,
signaling ongoing premiumization for the category. In June 2023, Cava on-premise sales were up 4% from
year prior, while other traditional method sparkling categories
declined. With an average alcohol of 11% and regulations requiring
all Cava de Guarda Superior wines to be made from 100% organic
grapes by 2025, Cava is well situated to respond to rising trends
towards lower alcohol and consumer interest in sustainable
products.
