In New York, craft breweries now outnumber wineries. Can they keep growing?: https://www.syracuse.com/drinks/2022...p-growing.html
From the article: "A decade ago, New York state was home to 324 wineries. At that time, the state had just under 100 craft breweries (plus a handful of large-scale brewers).
In the last ten years, the number of New York wineries increased at a healthy rate of 52%. In the latest count by the New York State Liquor Authority, the number stands at 494.
And breweries? That number soared 420% since 2012. The total hit and passed 500 in recent months, according to the liquor authority.
And that means for the first time in at least the last 50 years, the number of breweries in New York has now surpassed the number of wineries. And it could keep rising.
“It (500 breweries) is a big number, but New York is a big state with a big population,” said Bart Watson, chief economist for the national Brewers Association in Boulder, Colo. “So there’s still room for growth in New York.”
The phenomenal growth in both wineries and breweries in the past decade has also taken along other alcohol beverage producers, including distilleries and hard cider makers and even the makers of mead (honey wine). New York is one of the leading states in the numbers of all alcohol beverage producers (in total numbers, not per capita of course).
The number of distilleries increased from 48 to 204 since 2012, a 325% increase. Hard cider makers jumped from 22 to 78 in that time period, or 255% And mead makers, which didn’t exist as a separate category ten years ago, now number 15 across the state.
In all the total number of craft alcohol beverage makers grew from 491 to 1,295 since 2012, a rate of 164%"
In the same time period between February 2021 and February 2022, the Utica–Rome metro area picked up 3,700 jobs, a 3.2 percent increase; the Watertown–Fort Drum region added 1,700 jobs, an increase of 4.5 percent; the Binghamton area gained 3,300 jobs, a 3.6 percent rise; and the Elmira region gained 900 jobs, an increase of 2.7 percent, the NYSDOL said."
From the article: "A research team led by General Electric believes it has found a way to treat, potentially prevent and reverse the onset of diabetes using bioelectronics.
The team, which included researchers from the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, Yale School of Medicine, and Albany Medical College, deployed a non-invasive stimulation technique with ultrasound technology in three preclinical model systems that proved to improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, a news release said.
The study's findings were detailed in a recent issue of Nature Biomedical Engineering.
Christopher Puleo, a senior biomedical engineer at GE Research who co-led the studies said preclinical study results on animals showed the ultrasound could be used to prevent or reverse diabetes.
“The use of ultrasound could be a game-changer in how bioelectronic medicines are used and applied to disease, such as Type 2 diabetes, in the future,” Puleo said.
“Non-pharmaceutical and device-based methods to augment or replace the current drug treatments may add a new therapeutic choice for physicians and patients in the future," he added."
