Florida wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Florida. Wine grapes were grown in Florida earlier than anywhere else in the United States. The first wine grapes were planted in the 16th century by Spanish missionaries for the production of sacramental wine for Christian religious ceremonies. Because of the tropical climate and grapevine diseases, particularly Pierce's disease, vitis vinifera does not grow well in Florida.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Florida wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Florida. Wine grapes were grown in Florida earlier than anywhere else in the United States. The first wine grapes were planted in the 16th century by Spanish missionaries for the production of sacramental wine for Christian religious ceremonies. Because of the tropical climate and grapevine diseases, particularly Pierce's disease, vitis vinifera does not grow well in Florida. In the 1930s, researchers at the University of Florida helped develop new hybrid grape varieties specifically suited for Florida's climate, including Stover, Blanc Du Bois, Swanee and Miss Blanc. There are no designated American Viticultural Areas in Florida.
