As natural wine importer Steven Graf states, "Lighter, more elegant, low-tannin wines have become the new international style, so the counterculture is looking back at Bordeaux and the Rhône to go against the mainstream." This highlights the pull of traditional, bold red wines as a reaction to current trends.
Sarah Morrissey, beverage director at Le Veau d'Or, describes Big Reds as "dad wines: cabs, Bordeaux, merlot, blends" that pair well with bold flavors and provide a comforting warmth.
Helena Jensen emphasizes that Big Reds have been unfairly dismissed, stating they "have become wrongly emblematic of the excess of the '80s and '90s," leading young wine drinkers to overlook them due to this association.
