Abstract

This article takes an in-depth look at the changes in the California wine grape industry over the last 30 years. In response to rising consumer demand for California wines, the wine grape industry has expanded rapidly in acreage and production. The growth, as we show, has not been uniform across grape varieties or the state's major growing regions.

Keywords
