Historically, jug wines were labeled semi-generically, often sold to third parties to be relabeled, or sold directly from the winery's tasting room to customers who would often bring their own bottles.[1] For a period following Prohibition, jug wines were the only domestic wine available for most Americans.[2] Beginning in the 1960s, when Americans began to consume more premium wine, jug wine took on a reputation for being "extreme value" (bargain-priced premium wine).[1][3] Beginning in the late 1980s jug wines have increasingly been labeled varietally to meet consumer demand.
