The purpose of this research is to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of wine, including the history of winemaking, grape varietals, wine producing regions, & future predictions. The wine industry had been growing quickly and attracting many celebrities, but now faces challenges from spirits and cannabis, global tariffs, and Millennials' other choices. This research is primarily oriented around wine production; wine consumption and the export market are also addressed in the context setting & future predictions. This research is part of Tiburon's broader coverage of wine, spirits, & cannabis.
This research starts with a context setting chapter addressing, broader fresh grape production & usage, broader alcohol & cannabis consumption, wine in popular culture, and wine as an investment.
