Economic Impact of California Winegrape Growers
While it might be easy for many to say the assessment and the PD/GWSS
Referendum is just a
winegrape grower issue,
the economic impact of the winegrape grower stretches far beyond the
vineyards.
The loss of vineyards in any given region, also means the loss of income,
jobs, and
tourist dollars.
While overall the wine industry has a $45 billon impact on the state as a
whole, below is a partial
breakdown of what is at stake in some on the major growing
regions of California.
