Last time we took a look at a wine fun-fact about a butt of wine and learned that it is a measure approximately equal to two standard barrels.
So, here's some more wine fun-facts about the amount of grapes used in producing wine.
When you look out at a vineyard, it's easy to imagine that the grapes produced in that vineyard will make "a ton" of wine. Well, one ton of grapes results in a little more than two barrels of wine!
One barrel of wine equals:
60 gallons
25 cases
300 bottles
Stating it the other way around, to produce one bottle of wine it takes about 2.8 pounds of grapes or approximately four clusters.
So, there you go. A few more wine fun-facts. Maybe not as interesting as last week's butt of wine, but I hope this helps to put some things into perspective. Cheers!
