【Wine Sharing】Grape Growing Cycle

•
Today we can get a bottle of wine easily. Do you know how the wine is made? Let's go back to the vineyard and find the origin of the wine together.
Most of the wine grapes harvest only once throughout the year (the table grapes we eat can do multiple harvests per year). Wine grapes need a long time to develop its characters, eg: flavour, sugar, acid, tannin... It takes a lot of effort in the vineyard. Let’s check out how the grapes are grown before they enter the winery.
Winter - dormancy
Like most of the animals and plants. The vine will be dormant in winter to save its strength.

Spring - Flowering and fruit set
If you look closely, you’ll see lots of tiny white flowers appearing on the vine. Each flower that pollinates successfully is destined to become a grape.
