Abstract:

Wineries thrived in the state prior to the Civil War, and until just before Prohibition, the state was the country's leading wine maker. Now winemaking is making a comeback in North Carolina. In the last six years, wineries increased from 18 to 42; vineyards doubled from 175 to 350; the value of wine grapes increased from $2.2 million to $3.3 million annually; and two community colleges are offering programs in viticulture.
