Wine and Winegrape Research
Wine is one of California's highest value and highest profile agricultural
commodities. AIC has researched a variety of state, federal and international
issues related to wine and winegrapes, including domestic markets, exotic
pests and diseases, e-commerce and international exports. In addition,
AIC's annual Winegrape Outlook Workshop brings together researchers
and industry representatives from the major wine producing regions of
the world to discuss national and international issues. The following
