Wines of 50 United States

Leave a comment Go to comments

All 50 states in the US produce wines, and as of 2015, the vines were planted in 30 out of those 50:

The US is a very big country, with very complex and different laws in all states when it comes to any type of alcohol, wine included. Unless you will really make it a goal, it is almost impossible to try the wines made in all 50 states (yes, some of those will be undrinkable, but this is not the point here). While I wouldn’t say it is my goal to try the wines made in all 50 states and visit the wineries in all 50 states, I accept it as a fun personal challenge. Below is the table that tracks my progress to date. You can download an empty version of the identical Word document here. So, how do you compare?
