WATER INTO WINE The policeman signals to a driver to pull over to the side of the road, due to the fact that he appears to be driving erratically. He says to the driver, "You appear to have been drinking!" The driver answers, "No sir, I am just tired." The policeman looks into the car and notices that the driver is a priest! He also notices that there is an empty bottle on the floor. He says to the driver, "What is, or should I say was in this bottle? The driver answers, "Water!" The policeman says, "It is not, it's wine!" The driver looks up to the heavens and says, "Oh Lord, you have done it again!"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ How Many Grapes to Produce a Bottle of Wine? Determining the yield of harvest in terms of the number of bottles of wine is a lengthy, but interesting process. First the yield must be determined by weighing a few different clusters of grapes to obtain an average weight. Then the number of clusters per vine is estimated and the number of vines is determined. By multiplying this information, one can determine the approximate number of pounds of grapes in the total yield, which is estimated in tons or a fraction therof. One ton of grapes can yield between 130 to 150 gallons of juice. Downsizing the weight measurement - it takes between 13 and 15 pounds of grapes to make a gallon of wine. Storage tanks are normally measured in liters but are also converted to gallons. Approximately five 750 ml bottles make up a gallon. Thus, a 500 gallon tank of wine should produce about 2500 bottles of wine.

recommendation of a glass and a half of wine a day and even treble
it with a friend."
