  • Pennsylvania Wine Industry - an Assessment
    Pennsylvania Wine Industry - An Assessment By: James Dombrosky, Ph.D. and Shailendra Gajanan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh at Bradford March 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This research examined the Pennsylvania wine industry’s characteristics, and compared the industry in terms of growth, state funding and shipping laws with those of other wine producing states in the East. The research also examined the industry’s use of economic funding and technical assistance programs, its capacity and growth potential, and its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Finally, it offered considerations for the industry and policymakers. For the study, the researchers used secondary data, interviewed industry stakeholders, observed and participated in two annual meetings of the Pennsylvania Winery Association (PWA), and conducted a survey to obtain data for an economic analysis on capacity and growth potential. According to the research results, the Pennsylvania wine industry is growing, but not as rapidly as some other eastern states, including Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, over the last 5 years. All of those states, except Maryland, have higher annual wine production volumes than Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania wine production is also lower than that of New Jersey, and much lower than that of New York; however those states experienced small declines in wine production over the examined 5-year period of 2007-2011. Of the comparison states, New York, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina were found to have significantly higher levels of state funding for research and promotion than Pennsylvania. Funding sources for state wine industries included “dedicated” funding sources provided by excise taxes or similar assessments, legislative appropriations, grants and “gifts,” or private-sector funding.
