Delaware wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Delaware.
Delaware has only two wineries that each have limited production, the fewest of any state in the United States. The first and largest winery is Nassau Valley Vineyards, which makes fruit wines in addition to grape wines. The second winery is Pizzadili, a small, family owned and run business, opened in 2007. They offer a large selection of wines grown from Delaware grapes. They too make fruit wines in addition to grape wines.
Historically, the first Swedish settlers planted grapes and made wine in Delaware as early as 1638.
Famous quotes containing the word wine:
“But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink; even before his birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:13-15.
