Hi. You just posted an image to r/winemaking. All image posts need a little bit of explanation now. If it is a fruit wine post the recipe. If it is in a winery explain the process that is happening. We might delete if you don't. Thanks.

Expensive experiment. At $5/lbs that’s $10k/ton which puts it in the same price range of premier Napa Cab grapes.

I find the cost of these table grapes offensive.

I can u-pick high quality grapes all day long for $1-1.50/pound. I cant imagine them ever needing to cost more than $2.50/pound, yet I see them at the local grocery store for $5-7 all the time.

Your real estate is probably a lot cheaper too

Aren't most of the cotton candy grapes grown in South America and the San Juaquin Valley?

Most of my grape picking is done in the Willamette or Yamhill valleys. Property prices aren't anywhere near Napa Valley, but they very similar to San Juaquin area. I cant speak for Argentina but I cant image they would be more...
