Can't reshore a wine industry completely.
Gonna be posting details on that tomorrow
Discussion
Well, I would say that it is costly and difficult but can be done. America can make glass, cork, and grapes. America also has a long history of booze production so, I wouldn't say it CAN'T be done, just way more difficult.
Google search how much cork is made in America and why
I have researched this before. Again, it's difficult and expensive, not impossible. The United states started planting cork oak after WW2 because the main suppliers (Africa and Europe) had some...issues. There's no reason it can't be expanded now. Also, not that I could predict but, we ARE in the future, is Cork the ONLY way to seal and reseal a bottle?
You're right that cork isn't the only way, but artificial cork and stelvin tops aren't solutions, just different tradeoffs. Youd never way to put a nice red that you're aging in either of those.
Interesting to know more of the history! Thanks for sharing. Would need like 25 years to kickstart the industry, it seems, but glad to know it's doable.
Do you know where in the US?
I think it was Napa out of convenience but I believe a lot of the western US has the climate for it. (Agreed on the other bottling solutions being inadequate for certain wine) I was more saying we are in the future, why don't we have Jetson wine technology by now? 😤
Because fiat stopped (massively slowed) human technological advancement
Not surprised on location.
Come on future! Be the future already!
