2008 California Grape Crush= 3.054 Million Tons

California wineries crushed 3.054 million tons of grapes in 2008, according to the most recent Crush Report.

The summary shows that while the crush is smaller than the astounding 2005 vintage, it remains larger than harvests in the mid- to late 19990s when supply and demand were more in balance and imports were about one-third less than today’s market total.

More details to come.
