Mastering Piquette: Insight into the Refreshing, Low-Alcohol Beverage Crafted from Wine Fermentation
In the August 2025 issue of an unnamed magazine, we delve into an exciting chapter in the UK's wine industry - the anticipated piquette summer. This exclusive highlight celebrates the surge of pét-nats and other non-traditional wine products, a continuation of the broader growth in the industry.
The roots of this trend can be traced back to 2023, when the British government, under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, introduced reforms to the wine industry. These reforms, made possible by 'freedoms outside of the EU', paved the way for the legalization of piquette and other unconventional wine products.
Piquette, a light, fruity wine-like drink averaging around 5% alcohol, has been gaining popularity. It's produced by adding water to grape pomace and sometimes sugar or honey, inducing a second fermentation. The first UK harvest for legal piquette production took place in 2024.
The year 2025 is anticipated to be the big piquette summer in the UK. However, the search results do not provide specific information about the main producers of Piquette wine in the United Kingdom for the year 2025.
Another intriguing development in the UK's wine scene is the rise of English and Welsh orange wine. Orange wine is a type of wine made from white grapes with extended skin contact. Dermot Sugrue is taking a bold step in English winemaking with pét-nats, a type of natural sparkling wine.
The rise of pét-nats is noteworthy. These wines, characterised by their cloudy appearance and lively effervescence, have found a niche in the UK market. The first UK harvest for pét-nats production is not specified in the article, but the growth in this sector is undeniable.
As we raise a glass to the UK's piquette summer, it's clear that the wine industry continues to evolve, offering consumers a diverse range of unique and exciting beverages. Cheers to the future of winemaking in the UK!
