United States
Economic Impact Study
2025

The wine industry is a major economic engine, and a large contributor to the United States economy, with wine producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers in all 50 states. WineAmerica, the National Association of American Wineries in Washington, DC, commissioned a study of the wine industry’s total impact in 2025, which was shown to be over $323 billion. A similar study in 2022 remains on the website for comparison.

The study by John Dunham & Associates also has detailed data for all 50 states in the form of Infographics, Press Releases, and Data Tables. There is also a detailed Methodology and Frequently Asked Questions section to provide full transparency.

The Wine Industry Boosts the American Economy by $323.55 Billion in 2025

Wine is an all-American beverage produced in all 50 states and in the District of Columbia. The production, distribution, sales, and consumption of wine benefits many sectors of the United States economy and will generate close to $323.55 billion in total economic activity. This ultimate value-added product preserves agricultural land, provides American jobs, attracts tourists, generates taxes, and enhances the quality of life.

National Highlights

Total
Output

The wine industry generates close to $323.55 billion in total economic activity, dramatically illustrating that wine is the ultimate value-added beverage. The broader economic impact flows throughout the nation, generating business for firms seemingly unrelated to the wine industry. Real people, with real jobs, working in industries as varied as farming, banking, accounting, manufacturing, packaging, transportation, printing, and advertising depend on the wine industry for their livelihoods.

National
Reach

The wine industry includes a total of 10,761 wine producers¹ in all 50 states and in the District of Columbia, as well as 763,080 acres of vineyards.²

Job
Creation

The wine industry directly employs as many as 927,033 people, and generates an additional 383,476 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries which supply goods and services to the industry, and whose sales depend on the wine industry’s economic activity. Ultimately, 1.75 million jobs are created and supported by the wine industry.

Wage
Generation

The wine industry provides good jobs, paying an average of $58,400 in annual wages and benefits. The total wages generated by direct, indirect, and induced economic activity driven by the wine industry are $102.14 billion.

Tourist
Activity

The wine industry is a major magnet for tourists and tourism-driven expenses. America’s “wine country” regions will generate 74 million tourist visits and $14.13 billion in annual tourism expenditures, benefiting local economies and tax bases.

Tax
Revenues

The wine industry generates sizeable tax revenues on the local, state, and national levels. In 2025, the industry will pay nearly $20.99 billion in state and local business taxes, and $25.05 billion in federal business taxes for a total exceeding $46.04 billion. In addition, the industry generates approximately $1.13 billion federal consumption taxes and $6.07 billion in state consumption taxes which include excise and sales taxes.

2 – Vineyard acres refer to farmland being used to grow winegrapes nationwide.
