In the New World, yield is often measured or expressed in "tons/acre" or "tons/hectare" (ton = ton). Of course, this cannot be converted exactly into the "hectolitre/hectare" that is usually used in Europe, but 0.7 litres of must per kilogramme of grapes is an approximate value. 1 ton/acre results in just under 2.5 t/ha. See also under acre and hectare as well as area measurements.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
