Nevada

The state in the west of the USA with the capital Carson City covers around 286,380 km². It borders Oregon and Idaho to the north, Utah to the east, Arizona to the south-east and California to the west. Nevada was admitted to the Union in 1864 as the 36th state. Around 80% of the state is desert or semi-desert.

History

Due to its extremely low wine production, Nevada is not internationally recognised as a wine-growing state. However, one of the most spectacular wine-related events took place here: In 1993, a 7.85 metre high pyramid of champagne glasses was erected in a hotel in Las Vegas, consisting of 47 levels and 23,642 glasses. It was built and filled by the champagne house Moët et Chandon. Viticulture in Nevada has only been practised for a relatively short time; the modern industry developed from the 1990s onwards.
