Which U.S. States Consume The Most Wine? 🍷

What We're Showing

The annual per capita ethanol consumption of wine in gallons in 2022, by state.

Consumption figures only include residents age 14 or older, and is based on alcoholic beverage sales data collected by the Alcohol Epidemiologic Data System (AEDS), the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, and from various reports produced by beverage industry sources.

Data comes from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The NIAAA measures alcohol consumption in ethanol volume.

The average bottle of wine (750 mL, 12.9% ABV) contains 0.0256 gallons of ethanol.

Key Takeaways

• The average annual per capita ethanol consumption from wine in the U.S. is 0.42 gallons, which is equivalent to about 16.4 bottles of wine.
• In 2022, D.C. residents had the highest per capita wine consumption in the U.S., with an annual average of 1.05 gallons of ethanol from wine, or 41 bottles of wine.
• New Hampshire's lack of state sales tax makes alcohol, including wine, significantly cheaper than in neighboring states, which likely drives higher wine purchases and consumption as residents from nearby areas cross state lines to take advantage of the lower prices.
