Iowa wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Iowa. Iowa presents many challenges to viticulture including very warm summer days that can promote fungal vine diseases and extremely cold winter nights that can kill many varieties of grapevines. Most commercial viticulture in Iowa focuses on French hybrid and native American grape varieties with relatively few plantings of Vitis vinifera grapes. Iowa is home to nearly 95 commercial wineries.
