I heard that NAPA/ Sonoma is the 4th largest wine producer in the world. News also stated wine prices will be driven up due to this and other issues with Euro production.

So far, there haven't been too many vineyards completely destroyed, but it's not over yet. Once a vineyard is replanted, it takes 3 to 5 years to start producing grapes that can be used for wine production.


It's more than that - the ash and smoke affect the grapes and subsequent wine.

Absolutely, but luckily harvest was mostly complete for many wineries. Another issue is loss of power. A lot of places have juice sitting in fermentation tanks right now!
