Ghost Winery

Ghost winery is a nickname for a dormant, deserted winery. Although the California wine industry is thriving today, at the turn of the 20th century, the combined hardships of Prohibition, phylloxera, and the 1929 stock market crash caused many wineries to be abandoned. At one time, there were nearly 100 ghost wineries in the Napa Valley alone. Most of those are now once again in operation.

Answer: False.

That would be Canada. Eventhough icewine represents just 5% of Canada’s wine production, the country makes more of it that anywhere else in the world. In Canada, as in Germany and Austria, icewine (or eiswein as it’s spelled in German) must be made from grapes frozen naturally on the vine and picked by hand, grape by grape. More than 95 percent of Canada’s icewine is made in Ontario.
