Maryland wine is wine made in the U.S. state of Maryland. The industry has grown rapidly since the first winery in Maryland, Boordy Vineyards, opened in 1945.〔Maryland Wineries Association (2008). (Boordy Vineyards ). Retrieved June 18, 2008.〕 It is estimated that the industry contributes $50 million annually to the Maryland economy.〔(Maryland Wine Industry Statistics )(2008). Retrieved June 18, 2008.〕 == History == The state’s history of viticulture begins in 1648 with the earliest recorded instance of winemaking in Maryland.〔(The History of MD Wine. (2008) Retrieved June 18, 2008. )〕 Fourteen years later, the first European grapes planted in Maryland were deposited in on the east bank of St. Marys River.〔Lukacs, Paul "American Vintage: The Rise of American Wine" ISBN 0-393-32516-4〕 It was not until the 1930s that Philip Wagner, a columnist with the ''Baltimore Sun'', published ''American Wines and How to Make Them''. The book was later revised as ''Grapes Into Wine'' and became the definitive book on winemaking in America.〔Pinney, Thomas "A History of Wine in America: From Prohibition to the Present" ISBN 0-520-24176-2〕 The 1980s proved to be a definitive decade for the industry. In 1981, the Maryland Grape Growers Association was formed,〔(Maryland Grape Growers Association ) official web site. Retrieved June 18, 2008.〕 followed by the Maryland Wineries Association in 1984.〔(Maryland Wineries Association ) official web site. Retrieved June 18, 2008.〕 That same year, the Maryland Wine Festival was held for the first time and the Maryland Winery and Grape Growers Advisory Board was formed.〔(The History of MD Wine (2008). Retrieved June 18, 2008. )〕 In 2000, the Maryland State Legislature passed Maryland House Bill 414, allowing state wineries to sell wine by the glass at the winery and to bring product onto retail licensed premises for promotional activities. A record crowd of more than 25,000 attended the Maryland Wine Festival and Maryland wineries sold a record of wine.〔Adams, Leon "The Wines of America" ISBN 0-07-000332-7〕 Throughout the years that followed, the industry saw many changes as well as growing success. The instigator of such success was the Maryland Wineries Association’s first-ever major cooperative marketing campaign, "Ask For Maryland Wine."〔(Maryland Wineries Association (2008).
