  • 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.

  • Analysis of the Impact of A1943 S2683 in New Jersey Brager and Stratton
    Analysis of the Impact of A1943/S2683 in New Jersey Danny Brager and Dale Stratton1 I. Summary This report analyzes the likely impacts of passage of the New Jersey bill currently being considered by the Assembly and Senate, known as A1943/S2683 (the “Bill”).2 The Bill would expand the offering of direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) shipping permits to wineries that produce more than 250,000 gallons of wine per year. New Jersey has allowed DTC shipping by wineries for the last nine years, but it has limited permits for those shipments to only wineries that produce less than 250,000 gallons of wine per year. Removing that restriction will benefit New Jersey by providing a significant, annual, new revenue stream to the state – $3.0 to $4.4 million after two years, anD up to $6.0 million in four years – in the form of taxes and fees paid by DTC shippers who were previously excluded. Excluding larger wineries from the original DTC law has most likely already cost New Jersey near $30 million in lost revenue because the excluded wineries comprise a large portion of DTC wine shipping volume nationally. Taxes and fees from this segment were previously lost, and not shifted elsewhere, either because shipments ultimately bound for New Jersey consumption were sent to neighboring states (who collected the taxes and fees) or were simply lost sales. Local New Jersey liquor stores should not be adversely impacted in any meaningful way by the Bill because, as is the case with the DTC shipping law that has been in effect for nine years, the market segment served by DTC wineries has marginal overlap with liquor store sales.

  • Finding a State of Sustainable Wine: Implications for Sustainable Viticulture and Oenology in New Jersey, USA
    Finding a State of Sustainable Wine: Implications for Sustainable Viticulture and Oenology in New Jersey, USA. Daniel Moscovici, PhD Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies – Richard Stockton College email: [email protected] Introduction New Jersey’s 40+ vineyards combine to rank the state fifth in production of wine in the United States (NJ Dept of Ag, 2013). Could the most urbanized state in the country be positioned as one of the most sustainable wine growing and producing regions in the world and not know it? By first discussing what sustainability is, then understanding implications within viticulture and oenology, and finally applying it to the New Jersey case study there is an opportunity to develop better industry standards and make recommendations for the state of New Jersey (NJ) and other growing wine regions. This paper seeks to analyze the literature of sustainability, and sustainable wine. Then, utilizing both a quantitative and qualitative case study approach, make proactive recommendations to expand on the literature and practices for already developed and burgeoning wine regions in the United States and around the world. An analysis of current New Jersey viticulture and oenology sustainable practices will give way to the opportunities and threats that new laws and industry expansion plans will have on future sustainability of wine in the state. What is Sustainability? Understanding sustainability is essential to the study of sustainable grape growing and wine making. As the industry transcends the triple bottom line with implications in economics, environment and society wellbeing – finding the balance would be the ultimate goal (Elkington, 1998). The idea of sustainability is no longer debatable; it was discussed at first covertly, but now openly for half a century and is now a common term driving environmental policy, economic development and social equity worldwide.

  • The Judgment of Princeton
    UVA-QA-0813 Dec. 4, 2013 THE JUDGMENT OF PRINCETON In what has been called the most important wine event of the 20th century, wines from California’s Napa Valley were evaluated alongside some of France’s best in blind taste tests conducted in Paris on May 24, 1976. In what is now known as the Judgment of Paris, a wine from Napa Valley was judged the best (of 10 tasted) in both the red and white competitions. To put it mildly, the result stunned the wine world. For most people at the time, it was simply unthinkable that wines from California could be as good as those from France. For example, upon hearing the results, one of the Paris judges demanded to have her scorecard back for fear that it would become known that she had rated some of the California wines higher than the higher-priced and better-respected French wines.1 The event was dramatized in the 2008 film Bottle Shock. The sole journalist attending the Paris event was George Taber of Time magazine. Thirty- six years later, Taber, with the help of two wine economists from Princeton University and various New Jersey wine associations, would stage a similar event. But this time, the best French wines would be compared with the best wines from New Jersey. That’s right—New Jersey. People have been making wines [in New Jersey] since colonial days, although after American Prohibition most of them were underwhelming sweet ones made with local blueberries and peaches. A small cadre of vintners, though, had been striving in recent years to produce better wines using the world’s leading viniferas.2 If all went well, Taber and the group knew this event would be called “the Judgment of” some place, and with that in mind, they selected Princeton as the setting instead of other possible New Jersey locations such as Newark, Jersey City, the Jersey Shore, Hoboken, and Ho-Ho-Kus.
