The Frozen Gamble of Icewine

Canada's world-famous icewine is high-stakes agricultural art. To earn the 'icewine' title in #Canada, the grapes must be harvested while naturally frozen solid on the vine. Growers anxiously wait for a sustained cold snap, between -8°C and -13°C, then pick the grapes, often at night. This process yields a tiny amount of highly concentrated, sweet juice, making icewine a prized delicacy. #Agriculture #Icewine #Niagara #BC
