On January 28, 2019, California State Senator Scott Wiener (D), together with Senators Glazer (D) and Stone (R) and Assembly Member Voepel (R), introduced Senate Bill 166—a bipartisan bill aimed at clearing the path for California breweries and wineries to conserve massive amounts of water and save money in the process. Today, on average, its takes five to seven gallons of water to produce one gallon of beer or wine. In 2016, California craft breweries alone produced 3,295,221 barrels of beer amounting to roughly 313 acre-feet of water. (There are about 31 gallons in a barrel of beer.) Over 17 million gallons of wine are made in California each year amounting to roughly 260 acre-feet of water annually. (To be clear, these estimates do not include the amount of water needed to grow barley, hops, or grapes.)
