Abstract: The wine and grape industry generates a significant economic impact in North Carolina’s rural communities. In 2009 the wine and grape industry generated 7,600 jobs and $1.2 billion in total annual economic impact in the state. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that NC’s wine tourism revenue grew 27% between 2005 and 2009, with 2009 data indicating 1.26 million wine tourist visits and $156 million in wine tourism revenue.
