For example, Syrah is considered a &#8220;juicer&#8221; grape than a Cabernet. If you look closely, you can see the difference in the shape of the berries. The Syrah grape has more of an &#8220;egg&#8221; shaped berry to it. The Cabernet is more of a circle shaped berry. The berry size, climate, soil, and vineyard practices will all help determine how much juice is produced in each berry, and the berry intensity.<\/h5>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Usually each case of 18lb wine grapes will yield about 1.25-1.50 gallons of finished wine.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">That equates to about 7 bottles of wine.<\/h5>\n<h3>Other factors that influence how much must and\/or juice you yield per case:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>How your rollers are positioned in your crusher destemmer<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>How much you press after fermentation is completed<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>How much wine you loose during racking<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>If you barrel age your wine<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>If drink a lot of wine during bottling \ud83d\ude09<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Keep these topics in mind when you are deciding on how many cases of grapes you want purchase versus how much wine you want to make.<\/h5>\n<h4>Interested in making wine from Chilean grapes?
