The report is conducted by a pair of economic researchers from Economic Forensics and Analytics and Full Glass Research every three years and released by the Oregon Wine Board. It says the state s 1,297 wine grape growers produced a crop valued at $237.8 million in 2019, an increase of 14% over the previous year for the state s top fruit crop.
