The Fourth of July has long been reserved for gulping crisp American macro-lagers and sipping bourbon-based cocktails, because what else could be more patriotic? Well, we’re here to make the case for celebrating America’s diverse and talented wine industry by popping bottles from the U.S. this holiday.
Unlike wine from many regions in Europe, American wine isn’t limited by strict regional denominations or centuries of tradition. (The U.S. has an AVA system, which informs drinkers where the wine comes from, but doesn’t dictate what wines can be made in that region.) Winemakers in the U.S. are free to explore whatever grapes, styles, or techniques that inspire them. And while some regions are more established, more states are finding their own voices in American wine.
This list shows that American wine has range. Winemakers draw inspiration from all over the world, and each other, to make something distinctly from here. From crisp Melon de Bourgogne from the North Fork of Long Island to juicy Gamay from California and unctuous Petit Manseng from the Commonwealth state itself, here are 25 American wines to enjoy this Fourth of July.
