Far-Reaching Research is Just Getting Started

The Washington Wine industry, five years into its stepped-up investment in research, is well on its way to creating a world-class research program. The results of the industry’s investment in research are detailed in this Five-Year Impact Report. Key highlights include the opening of the WSU Wine Science Center, sustainably funding more than $1 million in research projects since 2017, and the creation of the industry’s own research grant program.
