Viticulture in New York refers to viticulture in the American state of New York . Under American law, every state and county is by definition a protected designation of origin and need not be recognized as such by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives .

In terms of harvest volume, New York ranks third behind the states of California (→ viticulture in California ) and Washington (→ viticulture in Washington ) in the United States.

Over 80 percent of the vineyards are still planted with the idiosyncratic, indigenous autochthonous descendants of American wild vines of the Vitis labrusca family. The most popular is the Concord grape variety . The rest is shared by French hybrid vines and early- ripening noble vines from the Vitis vinifera family (Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, ...).
