So too does rain when bunches are almost ripe. But weather conditions before and during flowering and setting of the berries, or hail afterwards, can have huge effects on the size of the crop, as can the temperature during the growing season in ripening it. Pruning to a number of buds, known from accumulated empirical experience to produce the desired crop, is the main way most viticulturists manage crop levels. This management is a difficult task because it must be done without knowing what the weather is going to be in any single year. These circumstances make it necessary to manage the vine’s growth each year to attempt to achieve the optimal size of crop for the quality of wine being produced. In addition, the growing conditions of one year are carried forward to the vine’s behaviour in the next year through the accumulation of proteins and other elements in the trunk, branches and roots of the vine, and in the fertility of next year’s buds. The weather of the growing season is different each year. ![]() ![]() Although the average conditions described in these maps are a useful indication of where different varieties of grapes might be grown, they are not sufficient to understand the complexity of the way that grape growers must interact with their natural environment if they are to be successful. ![]()
