Economists report on impact of wildfires on wine industry

Due to numerous inquiries about how the wildfires will affect the wine industry and wine and grape markets, University of California economists James Lapsley and Daniel Sumner released Oct. 12 a three-page report on the situation.

They touch on harvest, wineries, vineyards and smoke taint. They also highlight the impact on cabernet sauvignon grapes (10 percent may still be on the vine) in Napa and Sonoma counties.

The full report is available online.
