The United States became the world's largest consumer of wine around 2010. It is therefore legitimate to wonder if they have an impact on the new world of wines. Could we compare their role to that of England in the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries? With two main differences related to our time. It is first of all a globalization period. Secondly, because the Americans have an innovative speech on the wine. Attend the advent of New World wines or regions yesterday ignored and not sanctified is heavy with meaning. To answer this question on the place and role of the United States in the world of wine, a particular source, the menus of American restaurants deposited in the collection "What 's on the menu?" of The New York Public Library, seems interesting. It offers to understand the long-term phenomenon from 1850 to the present.
