Methodology

How we ran this poll

Every study on this site is a fresh poll. Here’s exactly how this one was run.

To determine the most popular wine in each state, Holiday Calendar conducted an online survey of 3,000 Americans between May 10th and May 25th, 2024. Respondents were recruited through a nationally representative online panel and screened to include adults aged 21 and older who reported consuming wine at least occasionally (once per month or more). The sample was distributed across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with demographic quotas for age, gender, and household income. Respondents were asked to select their favorite type of wine from a list of 20 popular varietals and styles, including red, white, rosé, and sparkling options. State-level winners were determined by plurality vote. The survey has an overall margin of error of ±1.8 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
