Who Drank the Most Cabernet and Chardonnay in 2023? A Jordan Winery Chart of U.S. Wine Consumption

With the winter holidays approaching, it’s time to crunch our end-of-year sales numbers. A few years ago, we decided to start sharing this data with our fans. So, in the spirit of fun competition, here’s our latest chart of U.S. wine consumption by state, which ranks who drank the most Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon and Jordan Chardonnay in 2023. Past wine consumption reports for 2022 through 2016 follow in descending order.

How did your state do? Did you move up or down in the rankings compared to last year? Jordan’s home state of California was the big winner overall this year with the most cabernet and chardonnay purchased across the nation! They rose the ranks to first place, beating out last year’s winner Texas. New Jersey climbed up in cabernet consumption, sliding into the bronze medal spot at #3! North Carolina shot up an impressive five spots for chardonnay purchased, landing at #11. Observations on which states had the most significant changes are included in each ranking list, so be sure to see if your home state made a big move.

The figures included are based on total cases sold from January 1-December 14. Thank you for supporting Jordan this past year. We look forward to sharing and creating more memories with our fans in the new year! Here’s to a bright 2024!

Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon U.S. Wine Consumption by State 2019

Observations from the previous year: The battle for runner-up continues, with Texas ousting New York to take back the number 2 spot—which New York took from the Longhorn State in 2018. Nevada and Illinois continue to fight for sixth and seventh place, with Nevada gaining the upper hand this year. Same for Connecticut and Arizona trading the 11th and 12th rankings. Big winners for the year are Tennessee, Utah, Arkansas, Washington and Mississippi, who all jumped several spots in Jordan wine consumption. Virginia, Ohio, Oregon and Washington posted disappointing numbers compared to 2018—each dropped 3-6 spots.  Good thing our 40th anniversary vintage of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon releases in 2020. It’s definitely one to uncork.
