AS THE WINE INDUSTRY CONTINUES to grow, wine industry salaries are ... on the rise. Results of the 2007 Wine Business Monthly Wine Industry Compensation Survey Report reveal that 64.8 percent of wine industry jobs showed an increase in annual base pay versus 2006. The average wine industry raise was 3.8 percent, slightly higher than the national average increase, across all industries, of about 3.5 percent. The survey was conducted by Western Management Group (WMG), a Los Gatos, California-based research firm that has been conducting the survey since 1991. While the compensation increases have certainly been solid, there is a bit of an overall slowdown from recent WMG surveys. The pace is slightly lower in 2007 than 2006, which found that 64.2 percent of the jobs showed an increase in annual base pay, and the average raise was 5.4 percent.
