WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — The recession doesn't seem to have hurt Indiana's wine industry.

The Indiana Wine Grape Council says seven new wineries opened this year across Indiana and seven more are expected to start up in the coming year. The new wineries give Indiana 43 commercial wineries and more than 400 acres of grapes.

Grape council marketing director Jeanette Merritt says it's an exciting time for Indiana wine lovers to see so many new wineries open in such a short time.

The new businesses are D'Avella Family Winery in Granger; Madison County Winery in Markleville; J&J Winery in Richmond; Blue Heron Winery in Cannelton; River City Winery in New Albany; Scout Mountain Winery in Corydon, and Wine Shak Vineyard in Tell City.
