Wine from the United States

The rise of the USA’s viticulture started in the 1500s, with the first large-scale winery established in New Mexico in 1628. Today, all fifty states are home to numerous brands, with California providing a stunning 84 percent of the nation's whole production. This means that four of every five bottles in America are produced in this sunny area that rules the local industry. CA is the first place most experts think of when discussing wines of the United States because it has well-known brands, prominent regions, and a solid reputation.

However, United States wines are made in every area of the American map (even in Alaska). Other important regions include Oregon, Washington, New York, and Virginia; all, except New York, received medals at this year's IWSC. US wine types are generally made from Vitis Labrusca, Vitis Riparia, and Vitis Vulpina which are famous for their supreme tasting. Due to the size of the country and its different climate and terrain, each brand provides a unique variety of tastes waiting for you to explore.
