Harvest Wine Grapes at Night
I heard an interesting comment on the radio today. That they have found that harvesting wine grapes at night to allow the grapes to be harvested at a cooler better temperature. This offers the benefit of harvesting higher quality grapes and it also offers a savings to the winery in reducing the cooling costs from day harvesting.
I found an article: Night Harvesting boosts quality , that says by night harvesting of the grapes it estimates wineries are saving 20% to 30% of their cooling costs. It also says, “The benefits are a better quality grape, and substantial savings on cooling costs.”
Now we need to see if there is any wine that only harvests their grapes at night.
