California’s wine production has begun, but despite producing 80% of all U.S. wine, winemakers across the state are experiencing fewer sales.

Ohh boy
That's problem making or getting cheap imported wine to make more cheap imported wine , wow profits over reputation !
Good! Alcohol is poison.
My palate and wallet prefer White Claw or MD20/20
Two of the greatest drinks on the market!
California wines are processed with too many chemicals, not natural. Also, too high in alcohol and overpriced for what they are.
Maybe because of FAKE WINE?
Younger people don’t want to pay $40 for halfway decent wine
I came to realize how environmentally destructive the wine industry. Oaks and native plants are replaced with grape vines. These vines need irrigation and many wells are going dry as a result. I no longer drink wine produced in Napa and Sonoma counties.
Hey baby .Bourbon rules …..i cant hardly touch wine since i started bourbon ……thats a fact , for what it's worth …….deal with it
🖕 the wine industry
Californians switched to fentynal. It's cheaper.
“Get hammered, California! Keep buying the wine!”. It’s for the Children!
If a wine tasting along highway 29 did not cost $50 to $100 it could be possible to sell wine from what could be called California's first growth. As for the rest of the wineries move to back to the $5 tasting fee and keep the glass upon purchase. You can tell by my comments that I must be an older wine enthusiast . I remember when Beaulieu Rutherford actually had grapes from the Rutherford bench, and Andre made the wine. It hasn't been the same since 1985. Get over yourself it's just farming. As Justin Meyer said.
Perhaps the state can help by ending over taxation and regulation.
I need food not wine
Stop making those big, jammy high alcohol wines.
Yeah… It is nice to buy USA wine but if it is like 3-4 times more expensive….
When you can't afford it, you can't afford it 🤪
Californians probably do not have the extra disposable income to but wine right now
Greasy Gavin newsom has a partnership in a winery in california, because he just does not have enough money despite being Nancy pelosi's nephew, but I hope he's taking a big hit on the the decline of the wine industry
Good keep removing them, the market is over saturated and has ruined many beautiful rural areas in California . Where people once were able to afford a home in the country now it's dominated by wineries around every corner which brings too many tourist on once quiet country roads and the cost of housing has tripled over the years.
Well the whole state is a mess so why not wine? Bet Newsomes winery is doing well
Start making Italian style wines and I'll buy. California wine making style today is too high in alcohol and too heavy in body. Stop the "jammy", etc. and go for more acidity that goes better with food, rather than cocktail hour.
CA allows wineries to add at least 200 additives without listing it. Wine is a sugar chemical punch
We've got too many drunks,so that's good.
Why aren’t people buying cases of our 30-100 dollar wines anymore 😢
I’ve been enjoying a lot of good Chinese wines that are way cheaper.
I make my own using Argentinian grape juice. I also boycott anything made in California. The reason wine drinking is down is all those rich plump democrat ladies are on mounjaro and zepbound.
Because wine is full of sugar, and hard alcohol is a actually a healthier choice.
