12 Allied Grape Growers conducted a confidential & voluntary survey of California nurseries to determine up-to-date planting trends: Allied Grape Growers conducted a confidential & voluntary survey of California nurseries to determine up-to-date planting trends: Data represents approximately 3/4 of the major varietal vine sales in the state, by variety, and region. Data represents approximately 3/4 of the major varietal vine sales in the state, by variety, and region. Data is not directly comparable to last year’s based on participation and the voluntary nature of the survey. Data is not directly comparable to last year’s based on participation and the voluntary nature of the survey. Dependent upon vine spacing, total potential planted acreage identified via the survey represents between 14,000 and 17,000 acres. Dependent upon vine spacing, total potential planted acreage identified via the survey represents between 14,000 and 17,000 acres. Survey participation was skewed toward the larger state nurseries. Smaller, coastal nurseries were not as likely to participate, therefore the resulting data is likely missing some level of coastal influence.

30 As always, the wine industry faces many challenges from market issues, to planning and relationship issues to taxation/regulation and process issues. The 2010 winegrape crop was likely below average overall. This downward swing in production, coupled with increasing wine shipments could go a long way toward re-establishing overall market balance. Planting has slowed significantly at the high end. Most new vineyards in the state have been planted in the interior regions for value-priced wines. Growers are planting mostly red grapes, but popular varieties for planting include: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Rubired & Muscat Alexander. Costs of acquisition/development/production continue to increase. Today’s market prices are mostly economically unsustainable.
