And so the journey begins.
In the picture are three very small clusters beginning their journey to my wine glass. As the assistant winemaker, I am often asked how many grapes it takes to make a glass of wine so I've posted some interesting statistics (this can change from year to year or with varieties):
One acre yields approximately 5 tons of grapes
One ton yields between 500 – 600 bottles of wine.
Most plantings have about 400 vines to an acre.
It takes 30 vines to make one barrel.
One barrel yields about 25 cases of 750ml bottles.
There are 59 gallons to a barrel of wine.
There are 5 glasses of wine per 750ml bottle.
One vine produces approximately 10 bottles of wine.
One vine produces approximately 40 clusters.
There are approximately four clusters to a 750ml bottle of wine.
There are approximately 75 – 100 grapes to a cluster (depending on the grape type).
It takes one cluster of grapes to make one glass of wine.
