History

Viticulture in Oklahoma began at the end of the 19th century; the first commercial winery is thought to have been established around 1898. State prohibition (the ban on the production and sale of alcoholic beverages) from the founding of the state, national prohibition (1920-1933) and the severe dust storms of the so-called Dust Bowl in the 1930s largely destroyed the young industry. The strict federal alcohol law was only repealed by referendum in 1959, which led to a slow reconstruction. From the 1990s onwards, numerous new wineries emerged, establishing modern viticulture in the state.
