I am looking for the annual case production by US-based wineries
(individually, not in aggregate). The answer would be a table of the
following format:
Winery 1 .............. 2,134 cases
Winery 2 ............. 50,182 cases
...
Winery X ......... 5,000,000 cases
Winery N ............ 125,000 cases
Note: the actual names of the wineries are required (e.g.
Kendall-Jackson, not Winery X). Ideally, data would be for 2004, but
2003 would be OK.
There are (by varying accounts) between 2,700 and 3,300 US-based
wineries. 95% of these wineries produce less than 10,000 cases
annually (see http://www.freethegrapes.org/research.html#figures).
I would like to get information for at least 1,500 wineries (i.e. the
table above would have at least 1,500 distinct rows).
I have inquired via e-mail at the TTB (Alcohol & Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau [formerly the ATF] - www.ttb.gov) to see if such a table is
published, but have not received a reply.
I am familiar with the Top 30 listing produced by Wine Business Monthly.
(http://www.winebusiness.com/html/MonthlyArticle.cfm?AId=97584&issueId=97495),
which is insufficient data for my purposes.
An answer to this question would NOT be a place where I can buy the
data (although I am interested in knowing the answer to that question
if this one is not answered). I am looking for publicly available
data (with at most a nominal media charge).
Please request clarification as needed. Thank you. |
