California Grape Crop Plunges 14%
WASHINGTON - Jul 12/06 - SNS -- California's all grape production is forecast at 6.00 million tons, down 14% from last year's large crop, according to the latest USDA crop report.
Wine type grapes account for 53% of California's total production, raisin type grapes account for 34%, while the remaining 13% are table type grapes. Wine type grape production is forecast at 3.20 million tons, down 16% from the 2005 crop.
Vineyards were affected by a variety of weather conditions early this season. The winter months were unseasonably warm and wet.

Still, bunch counts are expected to be down this year.
