(Wines&Vines) - Small wineries dominated the fast-growing market for direct-to-consumer wine shipments, according to a report to be released Monday by ShipCompliant and Wines & Vines. U.S. wineries producing less than 50,000 cases per year collected 74% of the $1.4 billion 12-month total for DtC shipments through July 2012. Shipments by wineries in all size categories except one grew in value, for a total growth rate of 10%, which beat the 7% rate at retail stores.
