Brutal Winter Has Made For Disaster For Upstate Winemakers

ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The brutal winter has put a squeeze on the upstate wine industry.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared a disaster in 19 upstate New York counties where the severe winter has caused severe damage to vineyards.

U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the declaration issued Wednesday is intended to provide relief to grape growers and other farmers.
