WVM made this video for two reasons.

1. To help people understand more about Napa and Sonoma machine harvesting.
2. This video includes clips of a New Holland machine harvest demo.

Is it possible that the lack of juice with the pull behind machine was left in the vineyard? i.e. not collected by the collection buckets

Interesting comment, worth further investigation in 2010.

The New Holland machine is a model VL6090 with on board destemmer

[ngober]

do you know the machine's make and model?

[xiaoyu8476]

I like hand picking .This machine modern make me think of the Transformers,it" shake" the grape trees,so any thing will mixed in the grape like insect, dry bark...?

And the grape with running juice is bare in the air,how long will you deliver the grape to the factory ?
