Georgia wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Georgia. Georgia was an important winegrowing region of the United States in the 19th century, and by 1900 ranked sixth in production among U.S. states. The wine industry in Georgia was destroyed by Prohibition in the United States. The state of Georgia first prohibited alcoholic beverages before many other states, in 1907. The modern wine industry of Georgia only began in the 1980s. Georgia is the national leader in the production of wine from the Muscadine grape.
