American wine

Sonoma Valley export

Wine produced in the United States, overwhelmingly from California, which accounts for roughly 80% of domestic production.

Oregon, Washington, and New York contribute most of the rest.

American wines range from mass-market table wines to prestigious bottles rivaling European vintages.

The American wine industry transformed after California cabernets won the 1976 Paris tasting.
