Ohio Wine Industry Origins and Early Islands Revival
Nicholas Longworth founded Ohio's wine industry in Cincinnati in 1903 with grape growing, creating white Catawba wine and Sparkling Catawba. Prolific vineyards on Lake Erie Islands grew to 15 wineries by 1916, then Prohibition halted most wine production. After repeal, hardy varieties and consumer interest spurred growth, with Ohio wineries and a list of producers and tours statewide.
