A few months ago, the Bureau of Labor Statistics profiled the nation's breweries and their explosive growth. Breweries are in their heyday, and they are not alone. Wineries are also enjoying good times.
The number of wineries in the United States quadrupled over the past 16 years, rising from just 1,066 in 2001 to 4,308 in 2017, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report. Winery employment more than doubled, climbing from 25,363 to 64,139 during those years. California accounts for 58 percent of the nation's winery jobs—fully 36,924 in 2017.
Here's a comparison of the nation's brewery (2016) and winery (2017) numbers:
Number of establishments
Wineries: 4,308
Breweries: 2,843
Employment
Wineries: 64,139
Breweries: 58,580
