North America

The wine tradition in the United States is rather recent, having only developed after 1933 with the end of Prohibition. In spite of this, the popularity of wine made in the USA continues to grow. Wine production in the United States is one of the most important in the world: 90% of its wines come from California, followed by Mexico, a particularly promising area internationally due to its out-of-season production compared to those in Europe. In both States, mainly grape varieties of European origin are used, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir for red grapes and Chardonnay and Sauvignon as white grapes. In recent years, some Italian varieties have also been introduced, including Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera.
