Tennessee wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Tennessee. The state was home to a wine industry in the 19th century that was decimated when Prohibition was formally established with ratification of the 18th Amendment in 1919. The modern Tennessee wine industry focuses on French hybrid and native grapes, which are more resistant to the fungal grapevine diseases that thrive in Tennessee's humid climate. Most of the wineries in the state are located in Middle and East Tennessee. A small portion of the Mississippi Delta, designated an American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1984, extends into the southwestern section of the state, and the Appalachian High Country AVA, recognized in 2016, traverses across the northeastern border with North Carolina and Virginia.{{cite journal |title=Establishment of the Appalachian High Country Viticultural Area |url=https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-10-27/pdf/2016-25970.pdf | journal=Federal Register | date=October 27, 2016 | publisher=Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury|volume=81|issue=208|format=27 CFR Part 9 [Docket No. TTB–2016–0003; T.D.
