The state’s wine sector employs roughly 325,000 people, while the 23.6 million tourists who visit California wine regions spend around US$7.2 billion last year.

This naturally is a hammer blow to the value of the country’s wine sector. Last month, California’s wineries, breweries, bars, restaurants and taprooms were asked to close as governor Gavin Newsom imposed a lockdown across the state to slow the spread of coronavirus. A winery in California’s Napa Valley has opened a drive-thru service with complimentary caviar when you purchase a case of wine.
