I actually haven't seen any statistics on this, but based on knowing how the industry works in the U.S. it seems like if it's not already the majority it's going to be the majority very soon.
Basically there are thousands of vineyard owners and thousands of wineries, but most of the vineyard owners take their grapes to the same handful of places to process them in between when they're picked and when they're sent off to the wineries. And these machines can process enormous volume, and there is tons of risk around labor.
And especially given that the majority of wine is made by the same handful of companies and sells for less than $10, I can't see any way that the majority of grapes aren't passing through these things at this point even if it's not really talked about.
