Analysis

NAICS 312130 is the 2022 national industry for wineries, part of 31213 (Wineries). Census lists 21 example activities under it in the official index.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 17% and employment rose 13%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.

County Business Patterns counts 4,560 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 65,478 people at an average annual payroll of $58,235 per employee (30th percentile of national industries). 43% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include alcoholic beverages, brandy, distilling, applejack distilling, beverages, wines and brandies, manufacturing and blending brandy, among 21 in all.

Its goods appear in 58 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 2204 (wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines; grape must…), 2208 (undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by…) and 2206 (). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.

For example, bottling purchased wines and wholesaling bottled wines are classified in 424820 (Wine and Distilled Alcoholic Beverage Merchant Wholesalers) instead.
