Book Description

Excerpt from The Best Wine Grapes for California; Pruning Young Vines; Pruning the Sultanina For the grape-grower who sells his grapes for so much a ton what ever the quality, the question resolves itself into, Which is the heaviest bearer? For the consumer the question means either What grape will pro duce good wine at the minimum cost? Or What grape will produce the best wine irrespective of cost? According to the kind of consumer he happens to be. As quantity and quality are to a great extent inversely proportionate, these views are widely divergent. For the wme-maker the question is a little more. Complicated, but may be stated essentially as, What grape can I handle with the most profit? This profit will depend on the difference between the price he is forced to pay the grower for grapes and that which he can persuade the consumer to pay him for wine. For one class of consumers he must get cheap grapes, for the other he can afford to pay almost any price, providing they are of the right quality.
