These 10 players have notched up strong value growth that puts them on track to compete in the top 100 next year. Some are new names offering innovative flavours and formats, while others are heritage brands enjoying a resurgence in their fortunes.

Trapiche

Sales: £28.4m
Growth: +11.4%

Trapiche

Affordable Argentinian wines remain a shopper favourite – as evidenced by Trapiche’s steady rise towards our top 100.

Owned by Grupo Peñaflor, one of the world’s biggest wine producers, the brand has grown volumes 8.4%.

That’s likely down to being priced at under £10 per average litre and having listings with Tesco, Sainsbury’s and other major grocers.

Funkin Cocktails

Sales: £27.5m
Growth: +9.7%

“In February 2025, an organisational simplification was announced… that will see the integration of the Barr Soft Drinks and Funkin businesses into a unified AG Barr operation,” read the supplier’s most recent results. It came as Funkin racked up a 9.1% gain in volumes – powered by innovation such as the Deluxe Dessert Cocktails range, added in September.

Bollinger

Sales: £23.0m
Growth: +34.2%

UK imports of champers are at their lowest since 1997, excluding pandemic figures, according to trade body Comité Champagne. Nevertheless, Bollinger has grown volumes 47.4%, while rival brands such as Moët & Chandon (69) and Lanson (91) have sold fewer litres. A 9% reduction in average price per litre was likely a key driver of Bolly’s success.

 

Andrew Peace

Andrew Peace

Sales: £25.6m
Growth: +33.2%

While Australian wine powerhouses like Hardys (10) and McGuigan (25) have suffered declines in the past year, challenger Aussie Andrew Peace’s volumes have shot up 43.6%.

This April, it unveiled a new, more premium look for its Signature White Label and Signature Black Label ranges. It also added Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio to its Masterpeace lineup.

Tequila Rose

Sales: £23.7m
Growth: +11.9%

Tequila Rose continues to chart a course upwards. The strawberry cream liqueur has delivered a £2.5m gain. That’s likely down, in part, to a social media storm last July. As shopper reaction to a cheaper Aldi dupe went viral, praise was heaped upon the original. In November, Tequila Rose capitalised on Christmas sharing with a one-litre bottle in Sainsbury’s and Tesco.

 

Diablo-lineup

132 (148)
Diablo

Sales: £21.5m
Growth: +18.0%

Concha y Toro’s brand of premium red blends continues to move on up. Having made its debut in 2018, Diablo has now broken the £20m barrier in grocery. It’s added £3.3m on volumes up 15.8%. That’s an extra 300,000 litres.

NPD has been a focus of late. Volcanic Cabernet Sauvignon landed in January, followed by Velvet Merlot in April.

Hennessy

Sales: £19.6m
Growth: +14.0%

Hennessy has added £2.4m. The fastest-growing line is its VS cognac, up 17.6% in volumes. That’s been complemented by some savvy marketing activity over the past year – including a Notting Hill Carnival tie-up and an NBA pop-up at Selfridges.

There was also the October launch of a limited-edition tipple to mark founder Richard Hennessy’s 300th birthday.

Bread & Butter

Sales: £19.2m
Growth: +14.1%

California’s Bread & Butter is eyeing its next stage of growth, having sold 1.1 million litres of wine through Sainsbury’s, Co-op and Ocado this past year. It’s added £2.4m on volumes up 11.8%.

Shoppers’ “renewed thirst for a bolder style of chardonnay” has driven sales, says Bread & Butter winemaker Linda Trotta, who credits “hints of rich vanilla, toasted oak and cream”.

 

Aspall Crisp Apple Cyder 2

143 (175)
Aspall

Sales: £18.7m
Growth: +21.0%

Posh cidermaker Aspall has secured a 27.5% boost in volumes. That equates to an extra one million litres through tills. Much of the Molson Coors brand’s strong performance is down to the success of Crisp Apple Cyder, added in April 2024 in a 330ml can. Aimed at both RTD fans and cider drinkers, the 4.5% abv beverage made £4.1m in its first 12 months.

 

Ciroc

150 (182)
Cîroc

Sales: £17.7m
Growth: +20.1%

A past association with accused sex trafficker P Diddy has done no damage to Cîroc’s fortunes. The posh vodka brand’s volumes have rocketed 125.3%, fuelled by its RTD range. The likes of Red Berry and Tropical Passion – joined this spring by a Colada variant – have racked up £6m since debuting in early 2024 across both can and bottle formats
