grape harvesting
Picking wine fruit
Grape harvesting is the gathering of grapes from the vine, typically for winemaking but also for table grapes or raisins.
The timing is critical—winemakers balance sugar content, acidity, and flavor development.
Harvesting may be done by hand for premium wines or mechanically for large-scale production: Grape harvesting begins in late August in most wine regions.
