The U.S. wine industry changed substantially between 2012 and 2024. TTB Wine Yearly Data recorded 6,498 industry members and 809,175,452 gallons of production in 2012. By 2024, the dataset recorded 9,323 industry members, 653,836,730 gallons of production, and 68,615,486 gallons of withdrawals. Wine Institute U.S. Wine Consumption reported 2.54 gallons per resident in 2024, compared with 2.81 gallons in 2013.

Industry membership over time
TTB Wine Yearly Data recorded a rising number of U.S. wine industry members through 2022, followed by two annual declines. The series began at 6,498 members in 2012 and reached 6,847 in 2013. It then rose to 7,270 in 2014, 7,580 in 2015, and 7,919 in 2016.
The increase continued in the next two years, although the pace was uneven. TTB Wine Yearly Data recorded 8,294 industry members in 2017 and 8,365 in 2018. The count then reached 8,772 in 2019 and 9,016 in 2020. In 2021, the total was 9,400, followed by the series high of 9,639 in 2022.
The final two observations moved in the opposite direction. The number of U.S. wine industry members was 9,634 in 2023 and 9,323 in 2024. Thus, the supplied annual series shows membership ending below its 2022 high while remaining above every reported year from 2012 through 2021.
Here is the complete membership series from TTB Wine Yearly Data:
| Year | Industry members |
|---|---|
| 2012 | 6,498 |
| 2013 | 6,847 |
| 2014 | 7,270 |
| 2015 | 7,580 |
| 2016 | 7,919 |
| 2017 | 8,294 |
| 2018 | 8,365 |
| 2019 | 8,772 |
| 2020 | 9,016 |
| 2021 | 9,400 |
| 2022 | 9,639 |
| 2023 | 9,634 |
| 2024 | 9,323 |
This measure counts industry members, not gallons produced, gallons withdrawn, or gallons consumed per resident. It should therefore be read as an industry-participation measure. The figures show how the count changed over time, but they do not by themselves identify the type or size of each member.
Production across the period
TTB Wine Yearly Data reported U.S. wine production in gallons for every year from 2012 through 2024. Production was 809,175,452 gallons in 2012 and rose to 882,643,314 gallons in 2013. The 2014 figure was 881,962,751 gallons, keeping production close to the previous year’s level.
Production then fell to 814,983,602 gallons in 2015 before moving higher again. TTB Wine Yearly Data recorded 857,121,849 gallons in 2016, 889,954,542 gallons in 2017, and 871,997,485 gallons in 2018. The 2017 observation was the highest production figure in the supplied series.
The next two years remained below the 2017 high: production was 854,066,627 gallons in 2019 and 769,423,558 gallons in 2020. It was 773,787,155 gallons in 2021, 775,116,283 gallons in 2022, and 770,767,066 gallons in 2023.
The 2024 figure was 653,836,730 gallons. Within this series, that was the lowest annual production figure. It was also lower than the production figures reported for each year from 2012 through 2023. The production data are annual U.S. totals; they are not a per-resident measure and are not presented as a forecast.
Withdrawals and their changing pattern
TTB Wine Yearly Data recorded U.S. wine withdrawals separately from production. Withdrawals were 105,268,819 gallons in 2012 and 107,408,948 gallons in 2013. The series reached 108,655,673 gallons in 2014 and 108,856,164 gallons in 2015, the highest withdrawal figure supplied.
Withdrawals then declined for four consecutive years. The reported totals were 101,253,719 gallons in 2016, 94,088,993 gallons in 2017, 91,422,105 gallons in 2018, and 88,156,170 gallons in 2019. The 2020 figure increased to 96,501,860 gallons.
After that temporary rise, TTB Wine Yearly Data reported 88,037,496 gallons in 2021, 76,736,754 gallons in 2022, and 60,977,099 gallons in 2023. Withdrawals increased to 68,615,486 gallons in 2024, but remained below every annual figure from 2012 through 2022.
The production and withdrawal series should not be substituted for one another. Production describes the annual U.S. production total in gallons, while withdrawals are reported as a separate annual gallon measure. The supplied facts do not define the operational relationship between these two measures, so the safest comparison is to describe each trend independently.
Per-resident consumption
Wine Institute U.S. Wine Consumption reported U.S. wine consumption on a per-resident basis beginning with 2013 in the supplied series. Consumption was 2.81 gallons per resident in 2013, 2.82 gallons in 2014, and 2.87 gallons in 2015.
The measure continued upward in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Wine Institute U.S. Wine Consumption reported 2.93 gallons per resident in 2016, 2.97 gallons in 2017, and 3.00 gallons in 2018. The 2018 figure was the highest per-resident consumption value in the supplied data.
The following year brought a lower figure of 2.94 gallons per resident. Consumption then rose to 3.12 gallons in 2020 and 3.16 gallons in 2021. Those two years were higher than the 2018 value in the same source series.
The measure declined in the final three observations. Wine Institute U.S. Wine Consumption reported 2.93 gallons per resident in 2022, 2.65 gallons in 2023, and 2.54 gallons in 2024. The 2024 value was the lowest reported per-resident figure in the 2013–2024 series.
These are gallons per resident, not total U.S. gallons. They should not be directly compared with TTB Wine Yearly Data’s production or withdrawals totals without additional population and methodology information.
Selected annual comparisons
The table below places the four reported measures side by side where all four are available. Industry membership, production, and withdrawals come from TTB Wine Yearly Data. Per-resident consumption comes from Wine Institute U.S. Wine Consumption.
| Year | Industry members | Production (gallons) | Withdrawals (gallons) | Consumption (gallons per resident) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 6,847 | 882,643,314 | 107,408,948 | 2.81 |
| 2018 | 8,365 | 871,997,485 | 91,422,105 | 3.00 |
| 2020 | 9,016 | 769,423,558 | 96,501,860 | 3.12 |
| 2022 | 9,639 | 775,116,283 | 76,736,754 | 2.93 |
| 2024 | 9,323 | 653,836,730 | 68,615,486 | 2.54 |
The comparison illustrates why each statistic needs its unit and source. In 2020, the reported industry-member count was 9,016, production was 769,423,558 gallons, withdrawals were 96,501,860 gallons, and consumption was 3.12 gallons per resident. Those values describe different dimensions of the U.S. wine industry in the same year; they are not interchangeable indicators.
In 2022, industry membership reached 9,639, the highest count in the TTB series, while per-resident consumption was 2.93 gallons and withdrawals were 76,736,754 gallons. In 2024, membership was 9,323, production was 653,836,730 gallons, withdrawals were 68,615,486 gallons, and consumption was 2.54 gallons per resident.
What the measures show together
Across the supplied period, the industry-member count generally moved upward from 2012 through 2022, while production varied from year to year and finished at its lowest reported level in 2024. Withdrawals were highest in 2015, decreased through 2019, rose in 2020, and reached their lowest reported level in 2023 before increasing in 2024.
Per-resident consumption followed a different path. It rose from 2.81 gallons in 2013 to 3.00 gallons in 2018, reached 3.16 gallons in 2021, and then fell to 2.54 gallons in 2024. The timing of highs and lows therefore differs across the measures: membership peaked in 2022, production in 2017, withdrawals in 2015, and per-resident consumption in 2021.
Those different peak years are an important feature of the statistics. A higher industry-member count does not automatically correspond to a higher annual production total in this dataset, and a production total is not the same measure as per-resident consumption. Reading the figures with their original units, years, and source labels intact gives the clearest view of how the U.S. wine industry changed from 2012 through 2024.
