Cold hardy wine grapes represent a specialty crop market with significant economic potential for the
Midwest said Ron Barnes president of the Minnesota Grape Growers Association the
competitions primary sponsor Our competition highlights these new varieties and helps build
consumer awareness and demand for wines made from these grapes
Minnesotas grape and wine industry is expanding rapidly and last year contributed an estimated $40
million to the states economy Since 1995 the number of wineries has grown from seven to 43 total
sales are expected to exceed $113 million by 2014
The competition is more evidence of the increasing quality of cold-climate grapes said Jim Luby a
