Study: California Wines under $40 Most Popular in US Restaurants
According to research firm Winemetrics LLC, US restaurants are most likely to feature California wines that sell for less than $39 a bottle.
In the company's first annual On-Premise Wine Distribution Report, Winemetrics ranks the nation's top 100 wine brands based on the frequency of their inclusion on restaurant wine lists.
At the top of the list were Beringer, Kendall-Jackson, and Robert Mondavi brands. Beaulieu Vineyards brand took fourth place, and Washington State-produced Chateau St. Michelle took fifth place. Only 15 wine brands produced outside the United States -- from France, Italy, Australia, and Chile -- made it to the list.
Figures for Winemetrics' study came from over 10,000 casual and fine-dining restaurants in 20 states. The company conceded that the majority of restaurants in the survey were casual locations, noting that upscale restaurants had more extensive lists.
