  • Texas Wine Industry Update Michael Cook Texas A&M Agrilife
    Department of Horticulture Texas Wine Industry Update Michael Cook Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service The first grapes utilized for wine production were cultivated by the Franciscan missionaries who traveled from Mexico into the Lone Star State in order to establish missions and expand the Spanish empire during the early 1600s. Later, German and Italian immigrants established vineyards in both the Hill Country and West Texas, however, these European cultivars soon succumbed to a myriad of diseases. Through research efforts, led by the Texas A&M System and others in the wine industry, table and wine grapes of V. vinifera origin, French American hybrids, and other natives were all under the scientific eye of experimentation. It was in our state that T.V. Munson proclaimed he had found his grape paradise, noting the abundance of native grapes, thirteen to be exact. After prohibition the industry remained stagnant, a resurgence in growth of the industry did not occur until the 1970s. Fast forwarding from our revitalized birth in the 70s to today much has been learned regarding viticulture and enology. The wine industry in Texas has grown exponentially since our humble beginnings, we are currently a $2.7 billion dollar industry and employ over 12,758 Texans full-time. There are 408 bonded wineries across the state with over 1.8 million cases produced annually. Surveys indicate there are over 400 vineyards with a collective acreage totaling 4,500. Wines are produced in every style ranging from still to sparkling to fortified with cultivars of both European and native origin. Grapes are grown in every corner of the state with eight AVA’s established.
