THE HISTORY OF

CALIFORNIA WINE

 

California wine has a long and continuing

history, and in the late twentieth century

became recognized as producing some

of the world's finest wine. While wine is

made in all fifty U.S. states, up to 90%

(by some estimates) of American wine is

produced in the state. California would be
the fourth largest producer of wine in the
world if it were an independent nation.
