The wine chocolate is a delicious blend of chocolate and wine. These are mainly available in drinkable liquid & chewable bars and cubes.

Also, the perfect and delicious combination of wine & chocolates attract the consumers, especially, those who consume wine. These chocolates are gaining immense popularity among the young generation as the wine chocolates are gifted at the occasions such as candlelight dinners & Valentine’s Day.

Mixing up wine with chocolate is no doubt a nice idea as both of them are sweet and have fruity notes. But pairing them both needs a perfect mixture; otherwise, it may ruin the taste. Generally, chocolates are paired with sweeter wines to get wine chocolate. White chocolates are to be paired with light wines, because of the cream & butter flavor in these chocolates. Thus, if mixed with heavy wines, the taste will dominate the subtle chocolate taste.

Additionally, sweet wide and mild reds are perfect to pair with milk chocolates. Sparkling wines, especially with fruity flavors are the perfect combination for milk chocolates. Moreover, dark chocolates contain polyphenols which make them taste bitter. These chocolates are perfectly paired with bolder taste.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted almost all the sectors in one or another manner. The food and beverage industry witnessed a major negative impact of the pandemic. The wine chocolate market has recorded an unexpected decline in demand during the pandemic. This is due to the various restrictions imposed over the import & export of the products and the lockdown imposed in some of the countries in order to curb the spread of novel coronavirus which resulted in disruption of supply chains and reduced production capacity of enterprises due to lesser availability of workforce and raw material.

Additionally, many of the organizations had to stop their operations due to the lesser demand in the market. Also, the unemployment and lesser incomes of the consumers due to the pandemic situation resulted in less consumption of the wine chocolates and thus hampered the wine chocolate market.

Market Growth Factors:

Development of Product Portfolio by Major Companies

In the modern era, the consumers have become more concerned about the quality of products instead of quantity. Thus, the improvement in the existing wine chocolate options and unveiling the new and better products which are produced as per the demand of the consumers would help the market players to expand their product offerings. Moreover, seeing the shifting consumer trends towards these chocolates, manufacturing companies aims to launch new and attractive wine chocolate products.

Rising health Awareness

The rising health concern of consumers is resulting in changing diet preferences and the adoption of healthier food & beverages. Consumers are now shifting toward the consumption of less cholesterol saturated fat content and fibre-rich diet. Consumers with various health issues are adopting the consumption of wine chocolates. The health benefits that the combination of wine and chocolate serves along with its unique taste are attracting consumers.

Market Restraining Factors:

Excessive consumption may harm

Wine contains ethanol or alcohol due to which excess consumption of wine chocolates is not considered good.

Consumption of wine chocolates in large amounts on regular basis can lead to serious diseases such as liver problems, various types of cancers, pancreas problems, mental problems, and heart problems.

Form Outlook

On the basis of form, the wine chocolate market is fragmented into solid and liquid. The solid wine chocolate segment accounted for a significant revenue share in the wine chocolate market in 2020.
