How Many Grapes?
Since there is a large variance of spacing, productivity, trellising systems, soils and farming techniques, it is hard to determine exactly how much wine each acre of land may produce. On top of this, wine makers may differ in the amount of juice they are willing to take from each grape. The following chart will provide you with an idea of estimates on the amount of land, grapes, barrels and cases it takes to produce a bottle of wine!
