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:
“A rake is a composition of all the lowest, most ignoble, degrading, and shameful vices; they all conspire to disgrace his character, and to ruin his fortune; while wine and the pox content which shall soonest and most effectually destroy his constitution.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
