Wine Not! Regulations Surrounding the Production of US Wines

Abstract

In the United States, wine consumption has grown continuously for the last twenty years. With more than seven thousand wineries across the country, wine has become an integral part of America’s culture. As individuals have become more educated about wines the demand for higher quality wines has increased. These higher-quality wines are produced in specified areas throughout the United States and have numerous regulations affecting all aspects of production, ranging from conception and where the grapes come from, to marketing and what must appear on the label.
