2010 NW Grape Orders to date
Last updated: November 13, 2010 09:40:56 PM
This table shows the grapes so far ordered by Club and other BCAWA members in 2010. All figures in pails, except for Gewurz, which is in hundreds of pounds.
- Pails of red contain about 20L of crushed grape must, the equivalent of about 50 lbs of fresh grapes before destemming.
- Pails of white contain about 20L of settled juice, the equivalent of about 80 lbs of fresh grapes before processing.
Pails Remaining: This figure will be calculated as the season progresses. We sometime don't get all the grapes we order and sometimes we get a bit more of some varieties. A question mark (?) after a number indicates that we are unsure of the exact quantity we are getting and that we may be able to increase our current order. A blank indicates we probably have more flexibility to increase our order.
For more details on the likely sources of these grapes, please consult the webpage on grape sources for 2010.

because most members order both reds and whites and multiple varieties. However,
there are a few more who order only reds than those who order only whites.
