Changing consumer habits and the trend towards more moderate drinking are also challenges for our winemakers, who are responding to innovation

Agrolaguna, a winery based in Istria, has launched Croatia's first non-alcoholic wine in response to growing global demand for alcohol-free beverages. The product is made from premium Istrian grapes using advanced technology that removes alcohol while preserving the wine's flavor, acidity, freshness, and overall character. According to market research by Grand View Research, the global non-alcoholic wine market was valued at around $2.54 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach approximately $5.28 billion by 2033, with an average annual growth rate of 10%. Agrolaguna highlights that consumption of non-alcoholic wines is increasing in Croatia, driven by changing consumer habits and the country's status as a major tourist destination attracting visitors from countries where this trend is already established.
