According to USA Wine Ratings, California is historically at the forefront of wine-producing states in the country and has been pioneering its wine production for more than a century. The first winery in the state emerged in 1854. After several decades, California accounted for roughly 90 percent of total wine production in the country. The relevance of California winemakers in global wine production began to unfold after the 1976 Judgment of Paris, which rated two California wines over their French competitors (France being the previous global winemaking champion).

USA Wine Ratings estimates roughly 2,000 active wineries in California and over 60,000 distinct wines produced in the state. The two major wine regions in California are Napa and Sonoma.
