The fire jumped Napa's Silverado Trail, which is lined with vineyards.
MarketWatch reports that the wine and tourism industries in Northern California could be hit hard by the affects of the fire. Since the fires have struck during grape harvest season, with cabernet sauvignon and merlot grapes still on the vines, the fire could potentially cause "years-long shortages of wine grapes."
The Napa Valley Vintners and Sonoma County Vintners, the trade organizations for wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties respectively, are still assessing the damage, and helping to ensure that all vineyard employees and residents get to safety.
"We're still piecing together information," said a representative from Sonoma County Vintners. "The fires are still active. And our primary concern right now is ensuring the safety of our team, our members, our colleagues, and the rescuers."

So far, 13 people have died, hundreds have been injured, and 1,500 structures have been destroyed as a result of the fires.
UPDATE Oct. 10 3 p.m. ET:
The Napa Valley Vintners (NVV) nonprofit trade association said in a statement it has received status updates from more than 100 of its member wineries, with at least four wineries reporting "total or very significant losses" and nine detailing damage to wineries, buildings, and vineyards. A number of facilities in the most affected areas have yet to contact the trade organization.
The NVV notes that, though it is "too early to estimate the economic impact," 90 percent of grapes were harvested before the fires began, and that the association does not anticipate smoke or fire damage to the largely cabernet sauvignon grapes that remain on the vine.
