Virginia Winery
ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: GREEN FABRIC: A CENTER FOR VIRGINIA’S WINE CULTURE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE Elijah L. Northen, Master of Architecture, 2005 Thesis directed by: Ronit Eisenbach, Chair, Visiting Associate Professor Department of Architecture This thesis seeks to place a centralizing node amongst the greatest concentration of Virginia wineries in the city of Charlottesville. While the state of Virginia has maintained its vinicultural heritage from the time of the Colonists, several factors have proven insurmountable obstacles until recent decades. The state now supports nearly 90 wineries, yet lacks any focus within the industry, and marketing rarely stems beyond the fields of production.1 With nearly 33% of the State’s population living in the urban context, reaching the metropolitan areas will not only spur interest amongst city residents, but will magnetize tourists and begin to establish connections on the national market.2 This unique project will examine the bridging of a typically agricultural typology into the realm of an urban environment, thus encouraging the dynamism of the regional industry. By doing so the thesis presents opportunities for practices in ecological, social, and cultural sustainability. The structure will function not only as an educational facility in the vinicultural sense, but as a demonstration of sustainable design in an urban context, melding contemporary technology with a with a historic city fabric, thus dispelling the myth that “green” buildings need to stand alone as icons. 1 Lee, Allen E. and Hilde Gabriel.

Corresponding author [email protected] WINE GRAPE PRODUCTION IN CONNECTICUT: A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS I. INTRODUCTION Grape and wine production in Connecticut have increased significantly over the past two decades. In 2000, the State had 10 commercial wineries producing 375 tons of grapes on 145 acres (Albu Consulting, 2005). According to the last agricultural census, the number of commercial producers had risen to 78 operations cultivating 356 acres of grapes (NASS, 2017). And, in 2019, we had over 40 operating vineyard/wineries that participated in the CT Wine Passport program (this is not the total number of wineries in CT, just those participating in this program). According to Connecticut General Statutes (Chapter 545, Section 30-1(e)(5)), licensed wineries are required to utilize at least 25% Connecticut grown grapes in their wines. In addition to this General Statute, there is a program and designation of Connecticut Grown, which requires wineries to use at least 51% CT grapes. To meet demand for their products, Connecticut wineries typically import grapes, grape juice, and concentrate from Various locations including New York State and California (Albu Consulting, 2005).

Consuming Concerns
CONSUMING CONCERNS The 2013 State-by-State Report Card On Consumer Access To Wine Issued By The American Wine Consumer Coalition Washington, DC August 2013 INTRODUCTION The patchwork of state laws concerning wine and consumer access to wine products create a complex and difficult to understand legal quilt. This is due to the passage of the 21st Amendment to the Constitution in 1933 that not only ended the 15-year experiment with national alcohol Prohibition, but also gave primary responsibility to the states for the regulation of alcohol sales and consumption. The states took that responsibility seriously and enacted a variety of laws and regulations concerning how its residents could access and consume wine. Eighty years after passage of the 21st Amendment, many of the alcohol and wine-related laws put in place in the 1930s are still in place in most states, despite a cultural, economic and commercial reality that is starkly different from the 1930’s. In some cases, however, laws concerning how consumers may access wine products and use wine have been updated to match the economic changes that have occurred, to accommodate legal rulings that showed many of the earlier laws to be unconstitutional and to meet the demands of an American consumer base that has become fervently interested in the wines produced now in every state in the country as well as the thousands of imported wines that now reach American shores from Europe, South America, Canada, Eastern Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and other spots on the globe. “Consuming Concerns: The 2013 State-by-State Report Card on Consumer Access to Wine” looks at how friendly the fifty states’ and District of Columbia’s wine laws are to its wine consumers.
