In the United States, there is a serious shortage of raw materials such as metal, plastic, wood and even glass for the production of wine bottles. In many parts of California, there is a "shortage of bottles" that wine cannot be bottled in time, which also makes the California wine industry, which has been hit by drought, even worse.
According to the "Business Insider" website, recently, due to the serious shortage of glass bottles in the United States, some wines in California can not be bottled in time, some wines in the barrel for a longer time than originally planned, over time, the barrel itself comes with the oak flavor will mask the unique fruit aroma of the wine, and eventually cause the delay in bottled wine taste is greatly reduced. Not only small wineries across California have suffered from this situation, but also the local liquor giant "Jackson Family" has also publicly stated that due to the lack of bottles, the company has suffered a sharp decline in sales for 6 consecutive months, and the factory has never encountered such a shortage of bottles since the establishment of the factory.
At the same time, there are shortages of labels on bottles, materials such as bags used to hold bottles, and cork stoppers for bottles, many of which are trapped in ports due to container blockages, a situation that is not expected to change in the short term.
During the pandemic, Americans have spent more time at home and the demand for wine has increased dramatically. California's wine production accounts for 90% of the united States, on the one hand, demand is increasing, but on the other hand, California wine plantations have continued to suffer severe drought weather this year, and many of the vines in the park have even died. According to media reports, drought has reduced California's wine production by an average of 20%, and some vineyards have even reduced production by as much as 60%.
