Alcohol aficionados of the drinking age enjoy a nightly glass (or more) of vino. Or maybe it’s just a flute of bubbly on special occasions. If you’re part of this crowd, you may have a favorite bottle, box, or overall brand. But where do the stars of this favorite evening activity come from? Within the U.S., there are more than 10,000 wineries. Let’s cheers to the 10 largest wine companies, the biggest changes in production from year to year, along with where they’re located on the map below. We’ll also show how you can use a map’s clustering to make sense of large amounts of data.

We mapped Wine Business Monthly’s 2020 and 2018 reports of the largest wineries in US, which represent more than 90% of wine sold in the U.S. You can sort the map by rank, cases sold, and the changes in both from 2018—or read on for more information about the top 10 biggest wineries in the US.

Top 10 Largest Wine Companies

All of the wineries on the map are notable. But the top 10 are definitely something to drink to.

2020 RANK	2020 COMPANY	2020 U.S. CASES SOLD	CASES SOLD CHANGE FROM 2018	RANK CHANGE FROM 2018
1	E & J Gallo Winery	70,000,000	0	0
2	The Wine Group	53,000,000	0	0
3	Constellation Brands	35,000,000	-15,000,000	0
4	Trinchero Family Estates	20,000,000	700,000	0
5	Treasury Wine Estates	14,000,000	-2,000,000	0
6	Delicato Family Wines	13,000,000	2,800,000	0
7	Bronco Wine Company	10,000,000	0	0
8	SteMichelle Wine Estates	8,200,000	-800,000	0
9	Jackson Family Wines	6,000,000	0	0
10	Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits (Josh Cellars)	4,340,000	2,140,000	2

The 2020 top 10 list is almost identical to that of 2018, with E & J Gallo Winery consistently topping the charts as America’s #1. Considering a standard wine case contains 12 750 ml bottles, the 70,000,000 cases sold in 2020 is an astronomical amount. The family-owned winery is based in Modesto, CA and also owns the popular Barefoot Wine.

As was the case for the entire map of the largest wine companies, these top 10 are representing California, second-place The Wine Group included. Notably, Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, specifically, Josh Cellars, is the only Connecticut-based winery in the top 10, and on the entire map of the 50 largest U.S. wineries. It’s also the only winery in the top 10 that rose in rank in 2020. Let’s dive more into the changes in the years, whether positive or negative.

Biggest Changes in Wine

The aforementioned Josh Cellars of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits both rose in rank by two spots and saw a growth of +2,140,000 cases. Yet, that wasn’t the largest positive change. The sixth-largest winery in the U.S., Delicato Family Wines, had the largest increase in cases sold between 2018 and 2020: +2,800,000 cases. However, the increase was not enough to bump them up in rank.

These two wineries are the only increases in the millions, as Precept Wine’s increase of 800,000 cases is the next largest positive change. That earned it #12 from #13 in 2018. As for solely rank increases, only one winery jumped in rank via double-digits. NakedWines.com is now the 27th largest wine-maker in the U.S., up 10 from previous years.

Just like the increases, there are two wineries with case production changes in the millions. New York’s Constellation Brands went down 15,000,000 cases in 2020 while the Melbourne-based Treasury Wine Estates produced 2,000,000 fewer cases. Yet, even with this significant case drop-off, neither winery decreased in rank. You can discover the largest rank decreases on the map above. For now, we’ll move on to where these top wineries are located.

Where are the Wineries?

When it comes to the location of the biggest wineries in the US, the state of California is clearly wine country. Of the 50 largest US wineries, 34 call the Golden State home. Here are the most popular:

• Napa (4 wineries)
• St. Helena (4)
• Santa Rosa (3)
• Livermore (2)
• Healdsburg (2)

Napa’s top four wineries range in cases from 375K to 13 million. These include the Crimson Wine Group (375,000 cases), Delicato Family Wines (13,000,000), Hess Family Wine Estates (750,000), and JaM Cellars (600,000).

As for St. Helena’s top four wineries, the Trinchero Family Estates is the largest. It produced 20,000,000 cases of wine in 2020. Santa Rosa’s top three vineyards each produce cases in the seven digits while Livermore is home to the second-largest winery in the country (The Wine Group), in addition to another. Healdsburg’s top two vineyards result in fewer cases than the above.

Where else is wine made?

New York and Washington are home to three, including two U.S. branches of French brands—Pernod Ricard USA and Domaine Chandon Estates & Wines (Moët Hennessy USA)—in the Big Apple while two are based out of both Illinois and Oregon.

The 5th and 27th largest wine-sellers in the US are based internationally: Treasury Wine Estates (Melbourne, Australia-based) and NakedWines.com (Norwich, Great Britain). As for beer, check out Where U.S. Beer is Brewed.

Summarize What’s Below With Cluster View

You may think a map where 34 of the 50 locations are pinned in the same state wouldn’t be helpful. After all, so many markers in the same location can start to overlap, losing their ability to tell a useful story. However, you can actually opt to show fewer markers on the map without getting rid of any data.

With Cluster View, close markers are replaced with a summary icon that represents the multiple markers below. The icon is labeled with the number of markers it contains, but on your own maps, you can change it to show the average or sum of specific data. As you zoom into your map, you’ll see more and more individual markers.

Starting from scratch is hard. There’s a reason Betty Crocker cake mix flies off supermarket shelves: to save you time and help you get started. The same should be said about your favorite internet tools. This is where templates can come in handy, especially for things you find yourself repeating more than once, like making a spreadsheet of customers, identifying the locations of your leads, and mapping your geographic data.

Our Excel spreadsheet template points you in the right direction on your mapping journey, ensuring your data is perfectly formatted for our mapping tool. Of course, you’ll want to replace the location data (address, city, state, and ZIP) with your own. But the template even contains suggestions on how to organize any additional data like phone number, group, URL, and email for your custom map.

Spreadsheet Template Basics: Location

You can download the Excel spreadsheet template or copy and paste it into the spreadsheet tool of your choice (like Google Sheets). Upon opening up the template, you’ll note the first four columns are entirely dedicated to location data.

These key fields include:

• Address
• City
• State
• Zipcode

You’ll want to replace the template data with your own—copy (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C) and paste (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) it in.

However, don’t feel obligated to fill in everything; not all the address fields are required. Most mapping tools can accurately plot your points with just one location detail, though the more you have, the more accurate your geocoding will be. You can delete entire unwanted columns from the template by right-clicking the column letter and opting for “Delete.”

As you’ll also note in the template, it’s best if each part of the location has its own column. For example, if your data is in the form of 1 Crossgates Mall Road Albany, NY 12203, most tools will do their best to interpret it. However, you can separate it into individual columns to be explicit, which reduces errors. To learn how to do that, see our article Simplify Complicated Data in Excel. Otherwise, continue on for how to use the template to prepare your data for mapping.

Include Your Location’s Name

Column E of the template is the name of your places that people will recognize. That way you don’t have to remember locations by their address. You’ll be able to use this information later to identify your locations on your map. For example, you could put a customer name or company name in this field.

You can copy (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C) and paste (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) your own location names in place of the examples. The name of your location(s) is the last of the essential info you’ll need, though there is still some information that’s extremely helpful to have.

Add or Delete Additional Information

In addition to the necessary information about your locations, there’s additional data you may wish to include. Some suggested options are included in the template, such as:

• Phone number
• Group
• URL
• Email
• Deal value
• Sales volume

You can easily remove ones you don’t need by right-clicking the column letter and selecting “Delete.” You can also add your own columns to the spreadsheet (right-click → Insert). Say, Store Manage or whatever suits your data.

What happens to this additional data on your map? In addition to appearing in the info window, you’ll be able to group and filter what’s visible by any of your data once you make your map.

Make Your Custom Map

By using the Excel spreadsheet template, you’ve avoided starting from scratch, saving you ample time. Your spreadsheet is now perfectly primed to make a custom map just like the one below.

London, Paris, and Los Angeles don’t have much in common. The three cities are many miles apart (London to Paris is 214 miles, London to L.A. is 5,440 miles, and L.A. to Paris a bit more.) They have different cultures and traditions. But one thing the cities do have in common is the number of times they’ve hosted the Olympic Games.

Fans flock to host cities to watch live as top athletes from hundreds of countries compete in the events. More than entertainment and the chance for athletes to get awarded for their skills (Olympics Prize Money: Do Olympians Get Paid?), the Games offer host cities a unique tourism opportunity, with millions of new visitors in need of lodging, food, etc.

But not every city has the capacity to host the Olympics. The cities that do must have large enough stadiums and a climate well-suited for seasonal sports.

So which are the most frequent Olympic host cities and countries? The map below holds the answers.

Most Frequent Olympic Host Cities

To start, let’s look at the cities with the most Olympic hosting under their belt. By this point, some of these cities should get a gold medal in hosting.

City	Number of Olympics hosted
Paris, France	3
Los Angeles, U.S.	3
London, U.K.	3
St. Moritz, Switzerland	2
Lake Placid, U.S.	2
Innsbruck, Austria	2
Beijing, China	2
Athens, Greece	2

London, Paris, and Los Angeles are the only cities in the world that have hosted the Olympic Games three times. All of the Games hosted in London were the summer version, first in 1908, again in 1948, and most recently in 2012.

Like London, Paris’ stints as host have all been for the Summer Games, the first of which occurred in 1900. After that, Olympic athletes returned to City of Light in 1924 and they’ll do so again in 2024.

As for Los Angeles, California, the city first hosted the Summer Olympics in 1932. Los Angeles hosted the Games once again in the summer of 1984 and L.A. is also set to host the 2028 Summer Games.

But Los Angeles isn’t the only U.S. city to host the Olympics multiple times. While not thrice, Lake Placid, New York has twice played host to the Winter Games, making the U.S. the only country in the world to have two cities hosting more than once each. In addition to Lake Placid, Athens (Summer), Beijing (Summer and Winter Games), Innsbruck (Winter), and St. Moritz (Winter) have each hosted the Games twice.

Now let’s take a look at the bigger picture: countries.

Most Frequent Olympic Host Countries

Cities aside, which countries have hosted the most games?

• United States: 9
• France: 6
• Italy: 4
• United Kingdom: 3
• Japan: 3
• Canada: 3
• Australia: 3

The U.S. has hosted the most Olympic Games of all other countries. Aside from the previously mentioned multi-host cities of Los Angeles and Lake Placid, other host cities include Atlanta, Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley in California), and St. Louis. Plus, the last Olympics in USA was held in Salt Lake City in 2002. As for when will the Olympics be in the US next, L.A. will once again welcome Olympic enthusiasts in 2028.

In addition to the countries above, Austria, China, Germany, Greece, Norway, South Korea, and Switzerland have each hosted the Games twice.

Both in Beijing: Seasonal Games Hosts

As for which countries have hosted both the Summer and Winter Games: You may think of Canada as a winter-only wonderland, but the country has not only hosted two Winter Olympics (in Calgary in 1988 and Vancouver in 2010) but one summer version in Montreal in 1976.

And while Paris may have been the site of three summer games, Albertville, Chamonix, and Grenoble, France have each hosted the Winter Games in 1992, ’24, and ’68.

Other countries to host the Olympic Games for both seasons include Germany (Berlin in the summer of ’36 and Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the winter of the same year).

Plus, West Germany’s Munich hosted the Summer Games in 1972.

Italy, Japan, South Korea, the U.S., and China also have similar dual-season hosting backgrounds. Speaking of China, Beijing is the only city to have hosted both the summer (2008) and winter (2022) versions of the Olympics.
