Emergency readiness

When a vine is endangered by external circumstances such as extreme climate (especially extreme drought, heat or drought), it mobilizes its last reserves to bring the grapes to a kind of ripeness. This is to ensure the survival of the vines. Such "not-ripened" grapes usually have both extremely low acidity and sugar levels (this also depends on the state of ripeness at the time when the extreme climate conditions occur). See also under must weight, maturation, physiological ripeness and water stress.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
