Napa Valley’s wine industry is asking the government at all levels to help it recover from economic and labor issues exacerbated by the chaos of 2020. The pandemic and subsequent economic fallout proved an unprecedented disruption for wine sales in Napa and beyond. And though the threat posed by climate change in the form of a worsening fire season is not a novel one, the substantial damage done to agricultural infrastructure and the wine grape crop this past fire season has given the wine industry a new sense of urgency, leaders say. New concerns over workforce stability have arisen out of 2020, too. The 2020 harvest, shortened by wildfires, was devastating for the North Bay’s farmworkers, some of whom left the agricultural sector altogether to look for more stable work.
