HOW MANY VINES WILL I NEED TO GROW IN ORDER TO MAKE X GALLONS OF WINE?
Grapevine yields which result in optimum wine quality will produce about 10 – 13# (4.5-5.9kg) of grapes from a mature (age 3+) vine. You can push this to about 20# (9kg) per vine if you want to compromise quality. You will need about 15-16# (6.8-7.3kg) of grapes to make 1 USgallon (3.785L) of wine if you will be hand pressing. You will need about 13.5#-14.4# (6.1-6.5kg) of grapes to make 1 USgallon (3.785L) if using a basket press. Therefore; in general; each vine, when mature, will give you about 1 USgallon (3.785L) of wine.
