Cold hardy wine grapes represent a specialty crop market with significant economic potential for the

Midwest said Ron Barnes president of the Minnesota Grape Growers Association the

competitions primary sponsor Our competition highlights these new varieties and helps build

consumer awareness and demand for wines made from these grapes

Minnesotas grape and wine industry is expanding rapidly and last year contributed an estimated $40

sales are expected to exceed $113 million by 2014

The competition is more evidence of the increasing quality of cold-climate grapes said Jim Luby a
