Wine volumetrics

In the past, Yours For Good Fermentables has examined beer volume measurements. It's due time for a look at wine metrics, courtesy Wente Vineyards.

• 1 grape cluster = 1 (big) glass of wine
• 75 grapes = 1 grape cluster
• 4 grape clusters = 1 750-milliliter bottle of wine (~ 25.4 fluid ounces)
  
• 40 grape clusters = 1 grapevine
• 1,200 grape clusters = 1 barrel* of wine
• 1 barrel of wine = 60 gallons
• 60 gallons = 25 cases
• 1 grapevine = 10 750-milliliter wine-bottles
• 1.2 grapevines = 1 case of wine (12 750-milliliter wine-bottles)
• 30 vines = 1 barrel
• 400 vines = 1 acre
• 1 acre = yields 332 cases

* A wine barrel in Burgundy contains the equivalent of 228 liters or ~ 60 US gallons. A Bordeaux wine barrel, however, is sized at 225 liters or ~59 US gallons. One US beer barrel equals 31 US gallons. One US bourbon barrel equals ~53 gallons.
