As you can see, employees of wine-related companies overwhelmingly supported (at least financially) Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. An interesting follow-on would be to measure the wine industry's contributions to PACs & SuperPACs to see if company contributions followed the same trends as their employee contributions.
This is awesome, thanks for pulling together! I wonder if other pieces of the wine value chain - distributors and retailers, specifically - share this trend. I think it might be less extreme in the difference, especially on the distributor front. But, that's just a hunch!
ReplyDeleteI was also intrigued by this comment and it prompted me to look up the wines that were selected.
ReplyDeleteThe wines that were served at Trump's Inauguration Luncheon were:
- J. Lohr’s Arroyo Vista Chardonnay 2013 (~$25/bottle)
- Black Stallion Estate Winery’s limited release Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 (~$60/bottle)
- Korbel’s Special Inaugural Cuvée of ‘California Champagne’ (~$15/bottle for the version without inaugural seal)
The wines were selected by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies who asked the Wine Institute, California wine industry’s advocacy and public policy group, for recommendations. All of the selected wines are from California and are members of the Wine Institute.
Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by how small the figures were. I went back and had a look through the two datasets you referenced. According to the data, Hillary received $33.7M in donations from companies and Trump received $7.7M.
Based on this it looks like the wine industry only accounted for 0.06% and 0.05% of the company donations for Hillary and Trump respectively. I fully realize that a number of companies would have been missed based on the 'wine' and 'vineyard' search, but it still seems low. I wonder if these figures accurately reflect the degree of influence which the wine industry has in the political world...
