US: Michigan’s wine industry matures
Apr 14, 2011 6
Michigan famously produces a lot of certain products — cherries, cars and white rappers, to name a few. But most people don't know Michigan for its wine.
By declaring April Michigan Wine Month, Governor Rick Snyder hopes to change that. Michigan's 81 wineries, ten of which opened last year, contribute $800 million to the state's economy every year. This year, sales of Michigan wine in the state increased at nearly three times the rate of total wine sales.
