The American Association of Wine Economists (AAWE) recently revealed the top 25 US wine suppliers/producers based on sales and market share in 2023.
It confirms the dominance of the Gallo Winery – United States’ and the world’s biggest wine producer – with 32.6 % market share in the US. It is quite an extraordinary dominance in the wine world. In many other countries the market is much more fragmented.
At second and third place, The Wine Group and Constellation do not even come close with 10,3% and 6,4% respectively.
Gallo is still a private family-owned company based in California with several family members holding key positions. They have around 100 different brands so the chances are that you have been drinking a Gallo wine at some point in your life (Apothic, Barefoot, Clos du Bois, Dark Horse etc. that you might not have realised was Gallo).
Beyond the top five, no single supplier holds more than 4% of America’s wine market share. The bottom 10 have less than 1% each, emphasising the significant concentration of market power at the top.
