WINE INDUSTRY IS GROWING...

The U.S. grape and grape products industries are

largely concentrated in California, which accounts

for virtually all table grapes and raisins, and

roughly 90% of the nation’s wine production, with

New York and Washington State each at about 3%

and the rest of the states at 4% combined.

Grape juice production is concentrated primarily in

Washington State, New York, Pennsylvania and

Michigan.

The wine industry’s explosive growth nationwide,

extraordinary value-added benefits, and existence

in all 50 states provide great potential for working with federal and state officials to further enhance growth through research and promotion.
