California wine grape production recovered somewhat in 2021 after a miserable 2020, but was still lower than any other year since 2008. The most produced varieties in 2021 were Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, each with about 600,000 tons of grapes, or about 400 million bottles of wine. The next three were Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and French Colombard.
