That's interesting information about vines, Curtis.  I never realized that they actually dwindle in production after 30 to 35 years.  But, it makes sense.  The same thing has happened to me!

They tend to plant at the lower number for many grapes here. Generally the most I hear is 800 vines per acre though in some premium areas, the go a little higher. cheers cvc

So if I have wine, I am having my fruit intake... I mean there's possibly a 100 grapes in one cup after all!

Thank you for the wine facts, Curtis Van Carter ! I didn't know there are 500-600 grapes in a bottle. That's a lot of grapes!
