What Is Craft Wine? Everything You Need to Know
Share
When you think of wine, what comes to mind? Maybe it's a stuffy vineyard tour or an overwhelming wine aisle filled with hard-to-pronounce labels. At Modern Craft, we’re here to flip the script and make wine fun, approachable, and, most importantly, personal. Enter craft wine: the laid-back, unpretentious sibling of traditional wine that’s all about breaking the rules and embracing the unexpected.
What Is Craft Wine?
Craft wine is exactly what it sounds like—wine crafted with care, creativity, and a focus on quality over quantity. Unlike mass-produced wines that aim for consistency above all else, craft wines celebrate the unique. Each batch tells a story, with flavor profiles influenced by the winemaker’s vision, the fruit’s natural characteristics, and the creative process behind every bottle.
At Modern Craft, craft wine is about ditching the stiff traditions and focusing on what really matters: making wine that fits your life and tastes, not the other way around. Whether you’re sipping solo, mixing it up in cocktails, or sharing a bottle with friends, craft wine is all about creating moments that matter.
How Is Craft Wine Different from Traditional Wine?
You’ve probably heard terms like “traditional” or “fine wine” thrown around. While those have their place, craft wine takes a different path:
- Freedom to Experiment: Craft winemakers aren’t bound by rigid rules or expectations. At Modern Craft, we love pushing the boundaries, from creating wines infused with bold fruit flavors to experimenting with blends you won’t find anywhere else.
- Smaller Batches, Bigger Personality: Craft wine is made in smaller quantities, allowing for more hands-on attention to detail. This means every bottle of Modern Craft wine is as unique as the person enjoying it.
- Designed for Mixing: Unlike traditional wines, which are often “meant to be savored as is,” Modern Craft wines are made to mix and match. Pair them with your favorite soda, spirit, or juice and discover something new every time.
