Wine Trails Not Just For California Anymore

Recently the Alabama Wine Trail opened to some controversy. The winery trail, which offers a map to the state's eight wineries has run afoul of a Baptist group which is against the promotion of alcohol. Wineries are driving increased tourism to unlikely places. While California is still the top wine tourism stop in the U.S. and Oregon and Washington are quickly gaining ground, the rest of the country is also working hard to lure wine tourists. With travel expenses running higher and higher, these destinations might be more appealing to those looking for a shorter trip closer to home. New York's Finger Lakes region has a number of different wine trails but some other winery trails are located in Iowa, Indiana and Virgina.
