According to Mintel, we can all be thankful that domestic wines seem to be recession-proof:

And thanks in large part to prices that are still on average 35% lower than imports, domestics dominate the market more heavily than ever — accounting for nearly 75% of wine sales by volume last year.

Mintel also identifies specific areas of growth for wine, among them include Millenials (21 to 32 years of age), men—who spend more per bottle than women, boxed wines and other environmentally friendly—or convenient packaging such as screw caps.

If you’re interested in making your own wine with screw caps, you’re in luck—we currently offer screw cap bottles for your personalized winemaking experience at Lakeland Winery.

We finally got our hands on a copy of my video segment on WSYR Ch.9’s Bridge Street with Rick and Julie from back in November.

I think the segment really gives a great overview of the personalized winemaking and adopt a jug winemaking experiences at Lakeland Winery—from start to finish. A big thank you to Rick and Julie and the production staff for doing such a fantastic job.
