Motor Vehicle Deaths in 2016 Estimated to be Highest in Nine Years; Sharpest 2-Year Climb in 53 Years
For the first time in nearly a decade, preliminary 2016 data from the National Safety Council estimates that as many as 40,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes last year. That marks a 6% increase over 2015, and a 14% increase over 2014 – the most dramatic two-year escalation since 1964 – 53 years.

An estimated 4.6 million additional roadway users were seriously injured in 2016, and estimated cost to society was $432 billion. See the full release to learn more about vehicle crashes in 2016.

California Wine Exports Reach Record $1.62 Billion in 2016
U.S. wine exports, 90% from California, reached $1.62 billion in winery revenues in 2016, a new record. Despite challenges from a strong dollar, winery revenues were up 1% from 2015. Volume was 412.7 million liters, or 45.9 million cases. “California wine exports continue to reflect the trend toward premiumization with the dollar value of our wine sales outpacing volume shipments. California wines are well positioned for this trend—our vintners are offering quality, value, diverse styles and environmental stewardship in their winemaking. Combined with the state’s iconic lifestyle, innovative cuisine and beautiful destinations, California wines continue to gain attention from consumers worldwide,” said Robert P. (Bobby) Koch, Wine Institute President and CEO. See the full release to learn more details about the wine business.
