New Vineyard/Wineries Database and Website Launches
Most Complete Free Listing of U.S. Vineyards and Wineries
FEBRUARY 22, 2007. A new website, www.justvineyards.com, is launching this month. Just Vineyards is a comprehensive vineyard and wineries' website containing free database access to the nearly 5,000 U.S.-based vineyards and wineries along with:
o information on wine,
o upcoming events,
o wine search engine, and
o links to individual vineyards throughout the country.
The goal of Just Vineyards is to inform, entertain and enlighten baby boomer consumers interested in wine but not terribly knowledgeable about it. Through Just Vineyards it is possible to get information on local wineries - 'to get the 411' - on wine in any of the 50 U.S. states. Just Vineyards is being developed by two baby-boomers who are interested in wine and wanted a good resource for information on wine.
Just Vineyards is launching at a time when the US wine industry is undergoing sweeping change:
o The baby boomer generation accounts for the bulk of serious wine drinkers in the U.S. according to an Associated Press story on May 16th 2006 by Lisa Singhania who reported that Americans in their 50s consumed an average of 16 bottles of wine in the year 2000, closely trailed by 60-somethings drinking an average of 15 bottles and people in their 40s drinking an average of 14 bottles of wine that year.
o The American wine industry represents more than $162 billion in 2005, according to Wine Business Magazine. There are more than 23,000 farms, 90 percent of them smaller than 100 acres, in all 50 states.
o American wine consumers are buying more higher-priced wine than ever, with all price points $8 and above showing double-digit growth in the last 34 months according to the latest data from ACNielsen.
