The wildfires in California's wine country are among the largest and most intense in the state's history. Fortunately, the fires came at the close of the harvest this year.
The majority of Sonoma County's vines went unscathed by the flames, as most of the grapes were already picked.
The wildfires in California's Sonoma County are among the largest and most intense in the state's history. Fortunately for the wineries, the fires came at the close of the harvest this year and most of the grapes were saved. But that might not matter so much. In 2018, California's 4,700 wineries drew nearly 24 million visitors, employed 325,000 people locally and generated nearly $58 billion for the state,. The Golden State also makes 81% of all U.S. wine, and is the world's fourth-biggest wine producer.
Global warming will lead to more wildfires across the country as hotter temperatures dangerously dry vegetation and set them on fire. After three straight record-breaking fires, winemakers are wondering how to adapt in a state primed to burn.
