Graph 2 shows a decrease in the demand for domestic wine. This decrease in demand would result in an increase in the supply of grapes available for the production of raisins, leading to a decrease in the price of raisins and an increase in the quantity of raisins sold. Graphs 1 and 4 show no relationship between wine and raisin markets, and graph 3 shows an increase in both demand and price for raisins.
