New Jersey wine (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Weinbau in New Jersey bezeichnet den Weinbau im amerikanischen Bundesstaat New Jersey. Gemäß US-amerikanischem Gesetz ist jeder Bundesstaat und jedes County eine geschützte Herkunftsbezeichnung und braucht nicht durch das Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives als solche anerkannt zu werden. Erste Versuche mit dem Weinbau können bis auf das Jahr 1787 zurückverfolgt werden. Die 1864 gegründete Renault Winery zählt zu den ältesten noch betriebenen Weingüter der Vereinigten Staaten. Bis zum Jahr 1981 war der Weinbau gesetzlich nur stark limitiert möglich. Seit der Lockerung der Gesetze produzieren 19 Weingüter, die meist familiengeführt sind, jährlich ca. 3,8 Millionen Liter Wein. Mit dieser Menge liegt New Jersey auf Rang 5 Ausstoßmenge/Bundesstaat in den Vereinigten Staaten. Aufgrund des kühlen Klimas gibt es einen bedeutenden Anteil von französischen Hybridreben (z. B. Chambourcin, Chancellor,…) sowie autochthonen Abkömmlingen amerikanischer Wildreben. (de)
The production of wine in New Jersey has increased significantly in the last thirty years with the opening of new wineries. Beginning in 1981, the state legislature relaxed Prohibition-era restrictions and crafted new laws to facilitate the growth of the industry and provide new opportunities for winery licenses. Today, New Jersey wineries are crafting wines that have earned recognition for their quality from critics, industry leaders, and in national and international competitions. As of 2019, New Jersey currently has 51 licensed and operating wineries with several more prospective wineries in various stages of development. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's 2012 Census of Agriculture, the state's wineries and vineyards dedicated 1,082 acres to the cultivation of grapes. New Jersey wineries are growing Vitis vinifera, Vitis labrusca, or French hybrid wine grapes, and producing or offering for sale over eighty types of wines. In 2010, 1.72 million gallons (approximately 716,000 cases) of wine were produced by New Jersey wineries; making it the seventh largest wine-producing state in the United States. A considerable portion of New Jersey wine sales are non-grape fruit wine, particularly apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cranberry wines. These fruits are associated with New Jersey and can be purchased from many nearby farms throughout the Garden State. New Jersey's 51 wineries generate between US$30,000,000-$40,000,000 of revenue annually. Wealthy New Jersey landowners began to produce wines during the colonial period. In 1767, two men, Edward Antill and William Alexander, Lord Stirling received recognition for their successful efforts to cultivate grapes and produce wine on their plantations from the Royal Society of Arts in London. The Society had challenged colonists in Britain's North American colonies to cultivate grapes and produce "those Sorts of Wines now consumed in Great Britain." While the cultivation of grapes and fruit trees supported a flourishing wine industry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the effects of Prohibition (1919-1933) and a legacy of restrictive laws constraining the industry's recovery subsequent to its repeal, practically devastated the industry. For fifty years after the repeal of Prohibition, New Jersey was limited by law to a ratio of one winery license for every 1,000,000 state residents, which by 1980 effectively allowed for only seven wineries. The growth of the state's winery industry has been bolstered by the repeal, starting in 1981, with the New Jersey Farm Winery Act, of many Prohibition-era laws and allowed many small growers to open new wineries.
