Georgia

Georgia wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Georgia. Georgia was an important winegrowing region of the United States in the 19th century, and by 1900 ranked sixth in production among U.S. states.

The state of Georgia first prohibited alcoholic beverages before many other states, in 1907 and subsequently the Georgian wine industry was decimated by

Muscadine grape.[1]

In 2014 the Upper Hiwassee Highlands AVA, which also extends into North Carolina, was designated to include parts of three extreme northern counties.
