Abstract
Production in its various effects continues to be one of the principal problems of the grape industry. Feast years to the grower are famine years for the vines which lead to years of lower production. This unbalanced condition of crop and growth leads directly to a number of other conditions all of which are unfavorable for the industry. The most obvious of these is the effect of irregular bumper and small crops on the stability of the markets. Then, there are the effect of level of crop on the balance of the fruit and maturity. Of these the more important are the compositional balance of the fruit, the reduction in flavor, the effect on texture, and the effect on the character of the wine produced.
