Wine Market in the USA
The United States is the world’s largest wine market, home to around 79 million wine consumers and a per capita consumption of roughly 10 liters. As the second-largest wine importer by value, the U.S. plays a pivotal role in the global wine trade.
In 2022, wine consumption in the U.S. reached 2.96 billion liters, maintaining its global lead despite a gradual decline in volume since 2020. Sales dropped by 3.22% in 2022 and an estimated 3% in 2023. Still, the market’s value remains substantial, with total wine sales reaching $77.8 billion in 2022.
Roughly 80% of wine sales take place off-premise—through retail channels—while the rest comes from restaurants, wineries, and exports. The largest wine distributors in the U.S. include Southern Glazer’s Wines & Spirits, Breakthru Beverage Group, and Empire Distributors.
American wines dominate local sales, accounting for approximately 65–70% of the market. Imported wines represent 30–35%, with steady demand for labels from France, Italy, Spain, and beyond.
