Wine surpasses beer in popularity poll
"For the first time since Gallup began measuring Americans' drinking preferences in 1992, wine has passed beer as the alcoholic beverage adult drinkers consume most often.
In Gallup's 2005 Consumption Habits poll, 39 percent of American drinkers said they consume wine most often, while 36 percent said they usually drink beer.
Overall, 63 percent of Americans say they drink alcohol. Results were based on telephone interviews with 1,006 randomly selected adults."

Wine becoming more popular is good news for our local Walla Walla Wineries and related industries. As the number of wineries and vineyards increase in our valley, for many of them selling out of their wines has still not been a problem.
As the Walla Walla Wine Country becomes more widely known for quality wines, we shall still see more wineries and vineyards popping up through our downtown shops and country side.
