Abstract:
Wineries are growing in North Carolina. In 2001, fifteen or so were producing wines. By 2006, the number of wineries had grown to fifty-three. They range from the grandeur of Biltmore Estate to cottage operations like Hanover Park. A number of wineries like Shelton, RayLen, Childress, and Westbend, have put the state on the national wine scene with award-winning wines.
