The yield of grapes that will be harvested from a vineyard will depend on several factors including vintage conditions, local wine laws and winemaker's preference. In viticulture, the yield is a measure of the amount of grapes or wine that is produced per unit surface of vineyard, and is therefore a type of crop yield. Two different types of ...
Vitis vinifera, the common grape vine, is a species of flowering plant, native to the Mediterranean region, Central Europe, and southwestern Asia, from Morocco and Portugal north to southern Germany and east to northern Iran. [ 2 ] As of 2012, there were between 5,000 and 10,000 varieties of Vitis vinifera grapes though only a few are of ...
The imperial system has a hundredweight, defined as eight stone of 14 lb each, or 112 lb (50.80234544kg), whereas a US hundredweight is 100 lb (45.359237kg). In both systems, 20 hundredweights make a ton. In the US, the terms long ton (2240 lb, 1016.0469088kg) and short ton (2000 lb; 907.18474kg) are used. The metric ton is the name used for ...
Glucose. Glucose, along with fructose, is one of the primary sugars found in wine grapes. In wine, glucose tastes less sweet than fructose. It is a six-carbon sugar molecule derived from the breakdown of sucrose. At the beginning of the ripening stage there is usually more glucose than fructose present in the grape (as much as five times more ...
A winemaking practice of fermenting whole grapes that have not been crushed. This intracellular fermentation (as opposed to the traditional extracellular fermentation of wine yeast) tends to produce fruity, deeply colored red wines with low tannins. Casein. A fining agent derived from a milk protein.
The avoirdupois pound is legally defined as a measure of mass, [24] but the name pound is also applied to measures of force. For instance, in many contexts, the pound avoirdupois is used as a unit of mass, but in some contexts, the term "pound" is used to refer to "pound-force". The slug is another unit of mass derived from pound-force.
Assuming one pound of green beans contains 35 to 40 pieces and yields about 3 cups of chopped beans, you’ll need about one pound for a party of three, assuming you’re making roasted, steamed ...
The process of fermentation in winemaking turns grape juice into an alcoholic beverage. During fermentation, yeasts transform sugars present in the juice into ethanol and carbon dioxide (as a by-product). In winemaking, the temperature and speed of fermentation are important considerations as well as the levels of oxygen present in the must at ...
