from 5 to 20 liters of juice. That's why most people start out with concentrate or buy grapes locally. For new vines, you'd be lucky to get one or two liters per vine -after a couple of years.

One fun thing about beginning with concentrate is the chance to experiment. Even the "failures" are usually drinkable or they make a good vinegar. It's amazing how tolerant you can be when it's your own.
