In California Drought, Grape Growers Face A Trade-Off
Play
Bad news if you like cheap wine: California’s drought could affect production of low-cost bottles. But, if can you shell out for the more expensive stuff, you might be in for a treat.
Grape growers on the West Coast are facing a trade-off. If they want the best flavor, they use as little water as possible, but a reduction in water use means they can't grow as many grapes and have to sell fewer bottles. Ben Bergman from KPCC reports in Southern California.
