Hot and sunny climates have a frost-free growing season of 200 days or more. [21] These climates allow grapes to ripen faster with higher sugar levels and lower acidity. Cooler climates have a frost-free growing season of around 150–160 days. Cooler seasons force the grapes to ripen earlier, which produces a fresher and more acidic harvest. [18]
As of 2012, there were between 5,000 and 10,000 varieties of Vitis vinifera grapes though only a few are of commercial significance for wine and table grape production. [ 3 ] The wild grape is often classified as Vitis vinifera sylvestris (in some classifications considered Vitis sylvestris ), with Vitis vinifera vinifera restricted to ...
Vine-Glo was a grape concentrate brick product sold in the United States during Prohibition by Fruit Industries Ltd, a front for the California Vineyardist Association (CVA), from 1929. It was sold as a grape concentrate to make grape juice from but it apophatically included a warning with instructions on how to make wine from it. [ 1 ]
In 2022, world production of peppermint was 51,081 tonnes, led by Morocco with 84% of the total and Argentina with 14% (table). In the United States, Oregon and Washington produce most of the country's peppermint, [38] the leaves of which are processed for the essential oil to produce flavorings mainly for chewing gum and toothpaste.

Jul. 17—Someone once famously said, you can't please all the people all the time. But when Sun World International spends more than a decade to develop a new proprietary seedless grape variety ...
Countries by grape production in 2020. This is a list of countries by grape production from the years 2017 to 2022, based on data from the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database. [1] The estimated total world production for grapes in 2022 was 74,942,573 metric tonnes, down by 2.4% from 76,750,674 tonnes in 2021. [1]
Large bodies of water, such as Lake Geneva in Switzerland, can have a moderating effect on the climate of a region.. Beyond establishing whether or not viticulture can even be sustained in an area, the climatic influences of a particular area goes a long way in influencing the type of grape varieties grown in a region and the type of viticultural practices that will be used.

Grapes are frozen on the vine around 20 °F (-7 °C), and late crushed in a grape press. The sugars in the grapes do not freeze, thus creating wine with higher sugar concentrations. Ice wine production is risky because many grapes do not survive the cold temperatures—resulting in ice wines being generally expensive. [5]
