It's also tragic that a lot of people just lost their livelihoods. Some of these vineyards are generations old and passed down. A lot of people lost everything they have.

Eh, not that many people. Many of those wineries are owned by big money, either other businesses or rich people as an "investment" and hobby.

The land is worth a ton, even all burned down. No families that own a winery are going to be devastated, they'll be able to financially be fine unless they leveraged themselves but that's on them. There will be plenty of work for the employees now, business usually booms after times like these. They'll be hurting until they start to rebuild, but long term they'll be fine. Plenty of money around there to spur a recovery.
