Vinepair points out in their article showcasing the map that the growth in per capita wine consumption is a widespread phenomenon:
Up here in the Northeast we've always been liberal with our wine drinking (and by Northeast we include Florida, our warm weather colony). The same goes for the wine producing states on the West Coast. What we find interesting is that the long, steady increase in American wine consumption isn't a story of the same-old-people just drinking more wine. Rather it's more people in more states drinking more wine.
