2021 Predictions, Goals & Dreams for the Texas Wine Industry

Texas Fine Wine Predictions

My predictions:

1. No changes to Texas wine labeling laws.

2. Slowdown in new wineries breaking ground. Sadly, some wineries may not survive.

3. Improved winery websites and e-commerce. Please include full winemaking details, information about the vintage, and tasting notes.

4. Member benefits get creative since gatherings aren’t as large as before.

5. A new AVA for Texas?

6. Perfect weather in Texas for a stellar harvest!
