(UPI) -- Illinois may not immediately come to mind when talking about "wine country," but its wild grapes could be the key to a booming business, researchers say. There are already 90 wineries in the state, some producing up to 90,000 gallons annually, and researchers at the University of Illinois say the region's wild grapes could be the key to more and better wines, a university release says.
