U .S. wine sales totaled $3.6 billion in Au- gust, market research firm bw166 re- ported, up 3% from a year ago. Domestic table and sparkling wine sales each increased 3% in the month. The latest 12 months saw domestic wine sales rise 4% to $46.7 billion, with table wines up 3% and sparkling wines growing 2%. Sales of packaged imports increased 8% to $23.5 billion. All told, wine sales in the U.S. totaled $70 billion in the latest 12 months, an increase of 6% from a year ago. Domestic wines, including bulk imports, led the growth, adding $1.9 billion in sales over the period versus an additional $1.8 billion in sales of packaged im- ports. The growth of packaged imports continues to outpace that of domestic wines at 9% but August was the first month since October 2017 that the increase in domestic wine sales — by far the larger segment of U.S. wine sales — also saw stronger growth in real dollar terms. Jon Moramarco, managing partner of bw166, at- tributed the shift to slowing growth for French rosé and imported sparkling wines, as well as consumers opting for more expensive domestic wines as a strong economy continues. —Peter Mitham U.S. Wine Sales Winery Job Index MONTH August 2018 294 August 2017 295 12 MONTHS August 2018 335 August 2017 314 MONTHLY INDEX 7% U.S. Wine Sales Rise 3% in August Source: winejobs.com Winejobs.com Index 500 400 300 200 100 0 2018 2017 Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug 2017 <1%
