MAIN Wines North America USA

Every U.S. state produces wine.

A nation of immigrants who brought their expertise with them, America was especially ripe for wine growing beginning in the 19th century — as the first wave of European settlers began raising families (and the grape) while setting down roots from coast to coast.

Some places, like California, Washington and New York, today have become major producers of top quality, well known labels, but there are treasures in every corner of the country for wine lovers who avidly seek them out. Even in Georgia and Rhode Island you'll find local vintners toiling to produce popular local favorites.
