Wine is produced in almost every state in the USA. According to the American Vintners Association:

“There are now more than 2,700 bonded wineries in the United States. Most are farm-based operations, providing significant economic benefits to the rural communities in which they are located. More than 80 percent of these wineries are truly cottage businesses, producing less than 25,000 cases per year – a quantity which could reasonably be marketed through on-site tasting rooms, and by direct shipment to consumers via the Internet and other remote means.”

Relatively few of the wines from small wineries appear on the store shelves.
