Percentage increase in 2021 sales over 2020 of “luxury Chardonnay” (priced from $50 to $100) from Sonoma and Napa according to a report by Wines & Vines Analytics. Demand for all high-end Chardonnay has grown— bottles priced at $25 and above also rose by 6% during the same time. Chardonnay has been the best selling varietal in the U.S for years, but total sales (which includes low-priced examples) have begun to decline.
