Delaware wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Delaware. Historically, the first Swedish settlers planted grapes and made wine in Delaware as early as 1638.{{cite book |author=Stevenson, Tom |title=De meest complete wijnencyclopedie|trans-title=The most complete wine encyclopedia |url=https://www.bol.com/nl/p/de-meest-complete-wijnencyclopedie/1001004002903522/|publisher=Lannoo | language=nl |page=519 |isbn=978-9077445112 |date=2006-10-01}}
