Growth in All Three Metrics
Our three major metrics for the wine industry economy rose in July. The Winery Job Index showed startling growth in winery hiring activity as the harvest approached. Off-premise sales stayed steady at 7% growth and direct-to-consumer shipments grew, too, though at a lower rate than the past 12 months.
