It's about right, although normally think about pounds of grapes to finished wine, and it very much depends upon the grapes as well as the growing conditions. Very small grapes have a much higher skin to liquid ration, so it takes more, big juicy grapes the opposite.I read somewhere on here that 20 lbs of grapes will yield about a gallon of grape juice or thereabouts. Does any body have a different number? Does this conversion differ based on the grape variety?
Thanks!!!!
There is no way anyone can say this is accurate. Each grape variety produces a different amount of juice that varies greatly. Additionally it depends on when they are harvested and the season. Another huge part of this is the person doing the pressing and the press itself.I read somewhere on here that 20 lbs of grapes will yield about a gallon of grape juice or thereabouts.

And I would think you are absolutely correct. Stems, seeds, spiders , leaves. Whatever is in that lug.I have to just assume here but I'd say stems included, and skins, and seeds, and spiders and bees.

The weight of the stems and leaves do not amount to a whole heck of a lot. A full garbage can of stems could not amount to more than a pound of two.And I would think you are absolutely correct. Stems, seeds, spiders , leaves. Whatever is in that lug.
