UNITED STATES
United States, when you think of wine in this country,
California, is the first state that comes to mind. California produces
about 90% of all wines in the U.S., if it were a nation, it would be
the fourth largest producer in the world. One could say, that
California has inspired a nation of quality wine making. Though
probably not the first state to make wine, it receives plenty of
accolades and attention. The fact is wine is produced in all 50
states. States that are in contention with California for the number
one spot are: Washington, Oregon and New York.
These states have made a very good name for themselves
in the wine world. As we move forward into the future, be on the look
out for states such as Ohio, Michigan, Texas, Virginia, Arizona,
New Mexico and the list continues to grow. The wine system in
the United States to identify wine growing areas is called the AVA,
American Viticultural Area. Like European systems, it has rules and
regulations for established wine growing areas. Unlike the European
system, it's not as strict with micro regulations and historical boundries.
To date, there are over 2200 wineries in the U.S. and growing.
Canada, you will be happy to know that wine is now produced
and imported into the United States with great reviews. Although
Canada is not U.S. territory, I thought it would be okay to include
it here, since it is connected. Now, once an area that grew mainly
French Hybrid grapes. The Canadians have figured out how to grow
the classic wine grapes on their soil. They've even taken it a step further
by taking advantage of their climate and now produce Icewine. Canadians
regulation wine system is called VQA, which stands for Vintner Quality
Alliance. It's purpose is to distinguish quality wine from wines simply
labeled product of Canada. It also regulates the standards for quality
wine production. As you can see, the world of wine is never ending.
Since the beginning of time, wine has continued to reward and
seduce us with the mysterious juice in the bottle. Below are examples
of wines from this area you can purchase from us.
