Ohio is a state in the Midwestern United States, located in the Great Lakes region. It is known for its diverse landscape, ranging from rolling hills and farmland to bustling cities and industrial centers. Ohio is also home to a burgeoning wine industry, with over 200 wineries producing a wide variety of wines.
Ohio has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1800s. The first commercial winery was established in 1803, and by the mid-1800s, Ohio was producing over one million gallons of wine annually. The industry declined in the early 20th century due to Prohibition, but has since seen a resurgence in recent years. Today, Ohio is the fifth-largest wine-producing state in the US, with over 200 wineries and more than 1,000 acres of vineyards.
