Fanning, Saturday, July 2, 1994
LENHARTSVILLE (Berks
Co.) Twenty-five years ago, a
group of grape growers along the
shores of Lake Erie fought to have
the Pennsylvania Limited Winer
ies Act passed so they would have
a market in the state for their
grapes especially wine grape
varieties. The new law allowed for
the establishment of Pennsylvania
wineries that could sell directly to
the public. Previously, wineries
could only sell through the Penn
sylvania State Store System, and
only then if they could make very
large volumes of wine.
Today that has all changed.
There are now about 50 wineries
in the state and 400 grape growers
producing and selling 400.000
gallons of Pennsylvania wines an
nually; a figure that’s expected to
increase rapidly.
With the ever increasing ac
ceptance and critical acclaim of
Pennsylvania wines, many of the
wineries are geared to expand pro
duction. Their future, however,
depends on whether or not the
grape supply can keep pace as
Pennsylvania limited wineries, by
law, can only use Pennsylvania
grapes. Because currently there
are not enough Pennsylvania
grown grapes to meet this expand
