    Traditionally wine was seen as a “pretentious” product in U.S, but by the late 1990’s to early 2000’s, wine started to become a popular social drink for the masses.

    The size of the wine market in the U.S., measured by tonnage, is estimated to be 2.5 million tons of crushed wine grapes in 1998. About half of the tonnages crushed are red wine grapes and the other half are white wine grapes.

The per capita wine consumption in the U.S. is only about 2.02 gallons per adult as compared to 16.2 gallons in France and 15.8 gallons in Italy. Thus, demand for wines in the U.S. has huge potential for continued growth. At the same time, there is increasing demand for U.S.-made wines abroad.…

    Wine production involves the growing and harvesting of grapes in vineyards. The vines require specific environmental elements to be able to grow grapes suitable for winemaking. They require temperature between 10C-20C to produce the correct sugar composition through photosynthesis. In this aspect, vines need to be grown in between 30 and 60 degrees north and south of the equator. Wine production extends from the growing of vines as it involves the removal of skins and stones from the grapes and fermentation of the grapes juices. White wines are fermented without the skin, whereas red wines are processed with the skins intact. This process essentially characterizes the colour, taste and quality of the wine.…

    White wines are made mostly from green or white grapes, which produce colors ranging from light yellow, straw, green, gold, and brown hues. They tend to have a light, crisp, refreshing flavor with fruity notes and aroma. White wines pair nicely with light meals like chicken, fish, seafood, salads and even desserts (Stop).

Popular varieties of white wines are Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Pinot Grigio, Moscato, and Gewürztraminer. (Breton)…
