The American Association of Wine Economics (AAWE) recently revealed the largest wine suppliers in the U.S. in an Instagram post. Using data sourced from the “2024 Wine Handbook”, AAWE compiled a list ranking the top 25 wine producers and distributors based on sales and market share in 2023.
Digging into the data, it’s clear that the top suppliers dominate the market. Gallo — the wine giant behind top wine brands like Barefoot, La Marca, Mark West, Louis M. Martini, Massican, and more — is far and away the largest wine supplier in the nation, topping the list with 32.6 percent of the total market share. The Wine Group, which includes well-known brands like Cupcake, Beringer, Franzia, and Chloe, is ranked second, but is already a considerable step down from Gallo’s numbers, representing 10.3 percent of the total market.
