More information on of Oklahoma flavors
Oklahoma is a state in the SouthCentral United States, bordered by Texas to the south and Kansas to the North. The state covers nearly 180,000 km² (70,000 square miles) between latitudes 33° and 37°.
Oklahoma is not an obvious place for quality viticulture, but grapes have been grown here since the days of the first settlers. Unusually, when Oklahoma joined the union in 1907, Prohibition was already Part of its constitution; it remained in effect until 1959, despite widespread smuggling, which led to the collapse of the state's well-developed wine industry.
The wine industry has grown markedly since the turn of the millennium, when there were only three Oklahoma wineries. As of 2018, there were about 40 wineries of varying sizes, located primarily in the central and eastern parts of the state. None reach the scale of those found in states like California and New York. The state government has established several different wine Tasting trails connecting winery tasting rooms in different parts of Oklahoma.
