A fact from Harvest (wine) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 November 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the harvesting of wine grapes can happen every month of the calendar year somewhere in the world?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/November.

Confusing numbers

"One of the benefits of mechanical harvesting is the relatively low cost of running a harvester that is able to run 24 hours a day and pick 80-200 tons of grapes in contrast to the 1-2 tons that an experienced human picker could do."

Is it 80-200 tons a day or per season? It should read "a day" or the like, to make it clear. Beating down 80-200 tons of grapes with a stick in a day is really much, no matter if you've got an automatic conveyor belt or not. It would be nice if someone who is certain about it could clarify this.

Well the first time quantifier mentioned is the "24 hours" which signifies that the period being compared is a day. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 19:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grape harvest in Hebrew

Did you know, in Hebrew there is a specific word for this. It is called Bazir. Maybe it should be mentioned in this article? Also, Bazir plays a role in Judaism and in the Bible, so maybe you can write about that too. (I'm not good at writing articles so I'm just suggesting).

That would work nicely in a history section. Or at the very least we could put it in the lead after the description of what the new & old world names. Could you steer me in the direction of a couple reliable sources that I could use for it? Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 10:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We have a special word in English, too: vintage: "Vintage, in wine-making, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product," I read in Wikipedia. Vendange and vendemmia might each get a mention. The faintly daffy idea of a "wine harvest" makes me giddy: I want to suggest that of a comparable "bread harvest" and recall the "Spaghetti tree" hoax. Did "Grape harvest" seem too prosaic? --Wetman 11:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well vintage has its spot in the lead. The title of Harvest (wine) was chosen because it is most commonly referred to in our wine articles as Harvest and with the parenthetical disambig it made it easy to pipe link it to the correct page instead of the generic harvest.
