The 1970s were a decade that marked a massive, earth-shattering shift in the world of wine. At the time, American wine, notably from California, which produced (and still produces) the majority, was not considered a serious contender among the Euro-centric wine elites. Then, in 1976, the legendary blind tasting known as the "Judgment of Paris" saw California wines beat out their French counterparts, to the shock of the entire world. Innovations in viticulture and vinification led to more juice being produced, making wine accessible and cheap. Here are some of the notable brands that exemplified this decade, some of which are still produced today.
