AUS: Scorcher puts heat on wine grapes
Jan 31, 2011 6
Scorching temperatures forecast for the rest of the week have the potential to stall this season's wine grape harvest.
Harvesting is expected to begin across South Australia in the next few weeks.
But Andrew Weeks from the wine growers group CCW says temperatures over 40 could lead to grape vines getting sunburnt or the ripening process slowing down.
He says growers need to be vigilant.
