Washington holds the number two spot, as the nation's second largest wine producing state, with over 650 wineries and 32,000 acres of vines culminating in 20 million gallons of wine per year. With generous grape-growing geography, fairly predictable climates (at least east of the Cascades) and plenty of sunshine (up to 17 hours per day - again east of the Cascades), Washington state is positioned to continue to be a key market player on the international wine scene for years to come.
