Kansas wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Kansas. Kansas has a challenging climate for viticulture with extremely hot summer days and rapidly changing weather. Severe summer storms can damage entire grape crops with wind and hail in just minutes. The wine industry in Kansas was impacted earlier than in many other U.S. states by Prohibition, which was introduced by the state government in 1880. The modern wine industry in Kansas dates only to the late 1980s when agricultural law reforms permitted the bonding of commercial wineries again. Kansas has eight wineries, fewer than convert|100|acre|ha|0 under vine, and no designated American Viticultural Areas.

Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius made national headlines in 2007 for disparaging remarks about the Kansas wine industry that she made at a political fundraiser event for Governor Chris Gregoire of Washington: "You should be thankful we don’t make wine in Kansas. If you ever see Kansas wine, don’t drink it." The remarks were strongly criticized by Kansas winemakers.Sullinger, Jim (2007).
