Nearly all states in the US produce wine, but almost 90% is produced by California, which, on its own, would be the fourth largest wine producer in the world! Winemaking has been a part of American history for only a few centuries, and wines produced here and in other non-European countries are called New World wines. Most American wines are produced from the classic European grape variety, Vitis vinifera.
Wines to try: Zinfandel, Merlot, and Corkbeard Cabernet Sauvignon
Pssst… California is where Corkbeard wines are produced! Check out Corkbeard’s interview with JustWine to learn more about us and our wines.
