Modesto-based Gallo, the largest wine producer in the U.S., is closing one of its facilities and laying off 20 workers, according to Wine Business. The move is part of a broader series of shutdowns at Gallo amid ongoing challenges in the wine industry. While the layoff count is modest, the action signals continued contraction in the sector, which affects staffing demand for food and beverage manufacturing roles.
