Title: Establishment of the Upper Hudson Viticultural Area 
Abstract:

In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted by (or on behalf of) an industry member, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to establish the 1,500-square mile Upper Hudson American viticultural area (AVA) in Albany, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Schenectady, Schoharie, and Washington Counties in New York.  The use of AVA names on wine labels, which is voluntary, allows vintners to better describe the origin of their wine and consumers to better identify the wines they may purchase.
