Source: Company information and WBM estimates.The numbers do not include bulk wine-- wine processed by the company but sold under another company's brand. Two large bulk producers were omitted because they don't produce wine under their own brands: Giumaurra Vineyards (one of California's largest table grape growers) and Vie Del, the second largest player in the grape concentrate business.The rankings include annual U.S. case sales numbers for wine sourced from other countries but sold in the U.S. under a U.S. Wine Company. We estimate, for example, that E&J Gallo may annually produce 65 million cases in the U.S. but import somewhere in the vicinity of ten million cases from Italy and Australia.
