Viticulture in Indiana refers to viticulture in the American state of Indiana . Under U.S. law, every state and county is a protected designation of origin and does not need to be recognized as such by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives .
Due to the early settlement and a wine-growing history since 1816, Indiana was still in the middle of the 19th century in tenth place of the most important growing areas in the United States. As almost everywhere, viticulture came to a standstill as a result of alcohol prohibition . There is currently a single defined American Viticultural Area (AVA for short), the Ohio River Valley AVA .
