Vines need 3 yrs to start producing and 5 yrs to be mature. They can
produce for 30-35 yrs with full quality and quantity, but then quantity
decreases even though quality can remain!
There are about 50-75 grapes in a bunch ( more properly called a cluster).
A pound of grapes contained 4-5 clusters, and thus there are 8,000-10,000 clusters in a ton.
A ton usually makes about 2 barrels of wine, or 120 gallons.
A barrel of wine produces between 23-25 cases or about 288 bottles.
A bottle usually has within it about 2.75 pounds of grapes ( meaning about 11 clusters, or 550 grapes, give or take 50-100).
There are somewhere between 500-1300 vines grown per acre. Each vine
produces 5 bottles. Each acre produces 13-14 barrels, or about 312
cases, which equals about 3,750 bottles.
