How Many Grapes in a Bottle of Wine

"Question: How many grapes does it take to make a bottle of wine?

Answer: A ton of grapes yields about 143 gallons of wine. There are 2.38 gallons of wine in a case (12 bottles), so a ton of wine will produce about 60 cases. Since there are 12 bottles in a case, a ton of grapes makes roughly 720 bottles of wine. The average wine bottle holds .750 ml, and one gram = 0.0044092 pounds, so for each bottle of wine, one needs about 2.78 pounds of grapes. To sum it all up, it takes about 630 grapes to produce one bottle of wine."
