California continues to outrank and outpace every state in the U.S. for the production of wines. And it also leads the way in the state of wine collectives.<\/p>\n
“Collective” denotes a number of persons or things considered as one group or whole<\/p>\n
“Collective” also can be formed by collecting such as an aggregate<\/p>\n
“Collective” can be a cooperative unit or organization<\/p>\n
A popular trend–a shift from the traditional wine tasting experience of venturing between wineries–makes it easier for customers to sample a wide range of varietals and styles – and in less time. While consumers can go to hundreds (if not thousands) of tasting rooms, collectives are often formed by a group of wineries wanting only their wines offered, to the exclusion of non-participating wineries. \u00a0The term, collective, is also used instead of “tasting room,” for marketing purposes. Collectives aren’t shy about telling you about their wines and who they represent.<\/p>\n
