Abstract:
"Set apart by climate, soil and geography, each of our grape growing regions produces wines that are just as distinct." North Carolina has a number of distinct American Viticultural Areas that produce award-winning wines. Discussed are Yadkin Valley, Swan Creek, Haw River Valley, Upper Hiwassee Highlands, Appalachian High Country, Crest of the Blue Ridge and Tryon Foothills. These regions are federally recognized areas where climate conditions affect the way grapes are grown.

Abstract:
The flavors of wine greatly depends on the weather; too much rain will dilute the flavors while a drought can create an unbalanced flavor. However, a mild drought can produce intensely flavorful and rich wines; no two vintages will be the same, as no two summers are the same.

Abstract:
The Banner Elk Winery, which opened in 2006, has, at 4,800 feet, the highest vineyard in the Eastern United States. The winery is co-owned by Richard Wolfe, Angelo Accetturo and Pete and Michelle Gerukos. Wolfe, who directs the Applied Science and Research Program at Appalachian State University, received a grant to start a vineyard at 4,800 feet. At first people laughed, but there are now thirty-two vineyards growing cold-hardy grapes in Avery and Watauga counties which the winery uses. The winery has been awarded a number of medals in competitions, such as the 2013 International Eastern Wine Competition in Sonoma County, California.

Abstract:
Jackson traces the early days of winemaking in North Carolina. Much of it can be traced back to what is called the Mother Vine, a strong grapevine that has survived four hundred years on Roanoke Island. Three scenarios are put forth for its beginning: the Indians cultivated it; it grew wild; or it was cultivated by the colonists of the Lost Colony. The vine is a scuppernong, a variety of muscadine grape. The vine was once over a half acre in size, but over the years decay, weather, insects, and diseases have reduced its size to about thirty feet wide and one hundred feet long. Life still exists in the vine, and the Duplin Winery was started with cuttings from the Mother Vine.

Abstract:
Currently there are fifty-three wineries in the state, with ten more expected in 2006, and another twenty in 2007. State winemakers face a formidable array of challenges: Pierce's Disease, grape root borers, Ph factors, Supreme Court rulings, the weather, budgeting, and marketing. Still, 600,000 gallons of wine, valued at $34 million, were produced and sold in 2004, making the state the twelfth largest wine producer in the country. Vineyards and wineries create around 835 jobs and have an economic impact of $79 million.
