Oklahoma wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Wine production was a significant component of the Oklahoma agricultural economy in the 1920s. The industry was destroyed by the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and the introduction of Prohibition in the United States. Oklahoma currently has about 40 wineries. Most of the wineries are located in the northeast portion of the state, as is the one designated American Viticultural Area in Oklahoma, the Ozark Mountain AVA.[1]
