Since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic, U.S. wine sales have skyrocketed. According to Nielsen, "combined U.S. dollar sales of wine were almost $2.5 billion in March [2020], an increase of nearly 30% versus one year prior." By July, the Wine Analytics Report showed "consumer spending on domestic wine in June was $3.4 billion, and wine spending for the 12 months ending in June reached $70 billion." At bars, restaurants and wineries, however, wine sales declined or disappeared entirely due to mandatory shutdowns, social distancing and travel restrictions. So, we're drinking plenty of wine, but not at crowded restaurants or on group trips to wine country. ~ Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast magazine
