Local wine statistics sit within a much larger system of producers, bottlers, distributors, exporters, and consumers. TTB reported 9,323 U.S. wine industry members in 2024 and 8,472 in 2025, while total wine production was 653,836,730 gallons and 554,374,282 gallons, respectively. The OIV estimated that the global sector produced 225.8 million hectolitres in 2024.

U.S. industry size and production
The TTB Wine Data JSON reports the number of wine industry members and total U.S. wine production for two measurement years. These are reported totals, not estimates identified by the TTB source.
| Measure | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Wine industry members | 9,323 | 8,472 |
| Total wine production | 653,836,730 gallons | 554,374,282 gallons |
| Taxable wine withdrawals | 594,551,921 gallons | 549,780,975 gallons |
| Tax-free withdrawals | 156,132,870 gallons | 129,669,972 gallons |
The reported industry-member count was 9,323 in 2024 and 8,472 in 2025. TTB reported total wine production of 653,836,730 gallons in 2024 and 554,374,282 gallons in 2025. The two production figures describe separate reporting years; they should not be treated as a forecast or as a measure of the output of an individual local winery.
TTB also reported 594,551,921 gallons of taxable wine withdrawals in 2024 and 549,780,975 gallons in 2025. Tax-free withdrawals were 156,132,870 gallons in 2024 and 129,669,972 gallons in 2025. Withdrawals and production are different measures: withdrawals describe wine leaving the relevant reporting stream, while production describes wine made during the reported year.
For readers interested in local wine, this distinction matters. A winery can make wine in one year and move, bottle, export, or otherwise withdraw it in another. The national figures therefore provide operating context rather than a direct count of bottles available at a tasting room.
Production by wine category
The TTB figures divide production into alcohol and product categories. Low-alcohol wine production was 558,356,562 gallons in 2024 and 475,273,174 gallons in 2025. Medium- and high-alcohol wine production was 42,415,201 gallons in 2024 and 35,396,496 gallons in 2025.
Other reported production categories were smaller but distinct. Artificially carbonated wine production reached 1,745,723 gallons in 2024 and 2,358,192 gallons in 2025. Sparkling wine production was 26,751,459 gallons in 2024 and 19,899,503 gallons in 2025. Hard cider production was 24,567,785 gallons in 2024 and 21,446,917 gallons in 2025.
| Production category | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Low-alcohol wine | 558,356,562 gal. | 475,273,174 gal. |
| Medium- and high-alcohol wine | 42,415,201 gal. | 35,396,496 gal. |
| Artificially carbonated wine | 1,745,723 gal. | 2,358,192 gal. |
| Sparkling wine | 26,751,459 gal. | 19,899,503 gal. |
| Hard cider | 24,567,785 gal. | 21,446,917 gal. |
These categories should be read as reported volumes, not as a ranking of local quality, regional identity, or consumer preference. The production data also does not identify individual states, appellations, grape varieties, or winery sizes. Its value is in showing the scale and composition of the U.S. reporting picture.
Taxable wine withdrawals
TTB reported 521,350,159 gallons of low-alcohol taxable withdrawals in 2024 and 483,066,647 gallons in 2025. Medium- and high-alcohol taxable withdrawals totaled 9,567,784 gallons in 2024 and 8,167,793 gallons in 2025.
Artificially carbonated wine taxable withdrawals were 3,262,908 gallons in 2024 and 4,338,791 gallons in 2025. Sparkling wine taxable withdrawals were 23,557,929 gallons in 2024 and 19,777,553 gallons in 2025. Hard cider taxable withdrawals were 36,813,141 gallons in 2024 and 34,430,192 gallons in 2025.
The TTB Wine Data JSON reports the category total for taxable withdrawals as 594,551,921 gallons in 2024 and 549,780,975 gallons in 2025. Those totals are repeated here to make the category series easier to interpret, not as additional measurements. The overall taxable-withdrawal figures and the category figures belong to the same reported TTB measurement years.
For local wine readers, taxable withdrawals are a useful market-flow indicator. They describe volume entering a taxable withdrawal stream, but they do not say how much was sold directly from a winery, how much moved through wholesale channels, or how much was consumed in a particular community.
Bottled, bulk, and tax-free movements
TTB reported 570,229,064 gallons of bottled taxable withdrawals in 2024 and 530,660,138 gallons in 2025. Bulk taxable withdrawals were 24,322,857 gallons in 2024 and 19,120,838 gallons in 2025. The taxable-withdrawal total by bulk-versus-bottled category was 594,551,921 gallons in 2024 and 549,780,975 gallons in 2025.
Tax-free withdrawals were reported at 156,132,870 gallons in 2024 and 129,669,972 gallons in 2025. Within that total, low-alcohol tax-free withdrawals were 94,333,375 gallons in 2024 and 78,695,840 gallons in 2025. Medium- and high-alcohol tax-free withdrawals were 55,485,334 gallons in 2024 and 46,746,325 gallons in 2025.
The remaining tax-free category in the TTB report combines artificially carbonated or sparkling wine. It measured 998,197 gallons in 2024 and 542,145 gallons in 2025. Hard cider tax-free withdrawals were 5,315,964 gallons in 2024 and 3,685,662 gallons in 2025.
These classifications show why a single local-wine number can be difficult to interpret. Bottled volume, bulk volume, taxable withdrawals, and tax-free withdrawals describe different points or purposes in the movement of wine. None of these totals, by themselves, identifies retail sales or tasting-room traffic.
Exports and international scale
TTB reported 68,615,486 gallons of tax-free withdrawals for export in 2024 and 54,022,341 gallons in 2025. Within those export figures, bottled exports measured 27,725,631 gallons in 2024 and 17,476,512 gallons in 2025. Bulk exports measured 40,889,855 gallons in 2024 and 36,545,829 gallons in 2025.
The bottled and bulk export figures are separate forms of exported volume. Together, they provide a view of how much wine moved internationally in those TTB reporting years, while the tax-free-for-export series provides the corresponding reported export-withdrawal total. They do not identify destination countries, export revenue, grape origin, or the share attributable to a particular state or winery.
The OIV estimated global wine trade volume at 99.8 million hectolitres in 2024. It estimated global export value at 35.9 billion euros and the average export price at 3.60 euros per litre for the same year. The OIV figures are global estimates for 2024, so they are not directly interchangeable with TTB’s U.S. gallon totals or TTB’s 2025 figures.
Vineyard area and global balance
The OIV estimated global vineyard surface area at 7.1 million hectares in 2024, down 0.6% from 2023. Spain’s estimated vineyard area was 930 thousand hectares in 2024, while France’s was 783 thousand hectares. These are vineyard-area estimates, not measures of wine production or the number of operating wine businesses.
For global wine production, the OIV estimated 225.8 million hectolitres in 2024, down 4.8% year over year. It estimated global wine consumption at 214.2 million hectolitres, down 3.3% year over year. Both figures refer to 2024 and are identified by OIV as estimates.
| OIV global measure | 2024 figure | Status or comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Vineyard surface area | 7.1 million hectares | Estimated; down 0.6% from 2023 |
| Wine production | 225.8 million hectolitres | Estimated; down 4.8% year over year |
| Wine consumption | 214.2 million hectolitres | Estimated; down 3.3% year over year |
| Wine trade volume | 99.8 million hectolitres | Estimated 2024 global trade |
| Export value | €35.9 billion | Estimated 2024 global export value |
| Average export price | €3.60 per litre | Estimated 2024 average |
The relationship between the OIV’s production and consumption estimates gives broad market context, but it does not establish inventory, waste, or a direct surplus. The measures cover different parts of a global system and are presented as estimates rather than as a local winery balance sheet.
Taken together, the TTB and OIV figures place local wine in two useful frames: U.S. reporting on members, production, withdrawals, and exports for 2024 and 2025; and OIV estimates of the global vineyard, production, consumption, and trade environment for 2024. The sources do not provide a town-level or winery-level sales series, so local interpretation should remain tied to the geography and measurement definition of each statistic.
