New York may not be particularly famous for its wines, but the state is home to a significant number of vineyards and wineries. It ranks third among U. S. wine-producing states in terms of Volume produced, surpassed only by Washington State and of course California.

Other successful grape varieties in New York State include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Hybrid varieties such as Vidal and the very American Concord.
