More information on of Nebraska flavors

Nebraska is a state located in the middle of the United States, bordered by Colorado to the southwest and Iowa to the east. Viticulture is developing in this state, which is better known for its agriculture and livestock, and in 2010, there were about 20 wineries scattered throughout Nebraska. HybridGrape varieties specially designed to withstand extreme cold are the most successful here. The state's best wines are made from the white varieties La Crosse and Seyval Blanc, and the red varieties De Chaunac, Marechal Foch and Chambourcin.

The white Edelweiss grape is the most widely grown in the state, and the Brianna grape, developed in Minnesota, is also important. White wines can vary considerably in terms of residual sugar content. The state covers just under 200,000 square miles, from the Missouri River in the east to the Dry, sandy hills at the foot of the Rockies in the west. Although wineries and vineyards can be found throughout Nebraska, wine production is concentrated in the southeast corner of the state, between the cities of Omaha and Lincoln.
