North American Wineries on an Upward Trend

North Georgia Wine Country

According to the Wine Industry News Headlines, Wines & Vines, there is an upward trend of wineries emerging within the past four years- and no, they are not all in California. Taking a turn from the early 21st century trends of wine demand and production, North Americans seem to be bouncing back from the recession with a respectable investment.

As you read this article, consider how the law may impact this growing industry and those associated with it- not only the new, budding wineries, but also those more established. Consider possible issues such as endangered species protection; possible increase in water usage, discharge, and waste; additional construction, trademark protection, interstate commerce, taxation, and consumption. With the amount and attention of wineries and vineyards increasing, it seems there will likely also be an increased demand for awareness and consideration.

North American Winery Total Passes 8,000, written by the Wines & Vines staff is a great, short, must read. It is well worth the simple five minutes.
