The wineries in Napa Valley have been damaged following the 6.1-magnitude earthquake that hit southern Napa County in the US state of California.

Napa has around 800 wineries producing around 50 million cases of wine, according to the Napa Valley Vintners.

Winemaking company Silver Oak said that around three barrels were destroyed at its winery. It also lost reference bottles of wine that are used to blend previous vintages, USA Today reported.

Fine Vintage owner James Cluer said: "This is the busiest time of year because the harvest is on.

"It's just started for whites, and reds are coming soon in two to six weeks. A lot of people come to Napa for September and October because it is harvest."
