Wine Grape Farm Prices Edge Lower Over the Past Year
The Producer Price Index for wine grapes — which measures prices received by farmers at the point of sale — came in at 119.339 as of 1 August 2026, compared with 121.652 a year earlier. That represents a decline of roughly 1.9% over twelve months, indicating that growers were receiving modestly less for their fruit than they were at the same point in 2025. Source: FRED / BLS.
U.S. Retail Table Wine Price Slips Slightly Year-on-Year
The average retail price of table wine per litre across U.S. cities — as measured by the BLS consumer price survey — was $13.769 as of 1 September 2026, down from $13.951 recorded a year earlier. That year-on-year decrease of $0.182 per litre amounts to approximately 1.3%, meaning shoppers were, on average, paying a small amount less for table wine than they were at the same point in 2025.

By this measure, the prices wineries charge at the point of production have been essentially unchanged over the past twelve months. Source: FRED / BLS.
