The physiological processes of a lot of grapevines begin when temperatures reach around 10 °C (50 °F). Below this temperature, the vines are usually in a period of dormancy. Drastically below this temperature, such as the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F) the vines can be damaged by frost. When the average daily temperature is between 17 and ...
The system is based on both the hypothesis and observations that grapevines do not grow if the temperature is below 50 °F (10 °C). [2] Each day during the growing season are assigned growing degree-days according to the amount that the day's average temperature exceeds this threshold.
The blue numbers are the amount of precipitation in either millimeters (liters per square meter) or inches. The red numbers are the average daily high and low temperatures for each month, and the red bars represent the average daily temperature span for each month. The thin gray line is 0 °C or 32 °F, the point of freezing, for orientation.
Tempranillo is a black grape with a thick skin. [1] It grows best at relatively high altitudes, but it also can tolerate a much warmer climate. [10] With regard to Tempranillo's production in various climates, wine expert Oz Clarke notes:
Flowering occurs when average daily temperatures stay between 15–20 °C (59–68 °F) which in the Northern Hemisphere wine regions is generally around May and for the Southern Hemisphere regions around November. A few weeks after the initial clusters appear, the flowers start to grow in size with individual flowers becoming observable. [1]
Wine writer Keith Wallace recommended that readers include the blog in their list of "Eleven Wine Blogs to Follow."

The ideal storage temperature for wine is generally accepted to be 13 °C (55 °F). Wines that are stored at temperatures greatly higher than this will experience an increased aging rate. Wines exposed to extreme temperatures will thermally expand, and may even push up between the cork and bottle and leak from the top. When opening a bottle of ...
