Californian wine is a wine made in the American state of California. Spanning nearly three-quarters the size of France, California accounts for nearly 90 percent of all US wine production. California's production alone is one-third larger than Australia's. If California were an independent country, it would be the fourth largest wine producer in the world.2
The viticulture of the state dates back to the 19th century when Spanish missionaries planted the first vineyards to produce mass wine.
Following the renaissance of wine in the mid-20th century, California wine entered the international stage in the 1976 Paris Judgment wine competition when California wines beat out French wines in the red and white wine categories. Today there are more than 1,200 wineries in the state, ranging from small boutique wineries to large companies like E&J Gallo Winery, with worldwide distribution.3
