    That’s exactly why this is done. It’s an emergency operation if there is a sudden freeze that would kill the vines.

      A sudden freeze will not kill the vines. Grapes are extremely tough. It can hurt the flower buds though. A severe enough freeze can cut the yield.

      For wine grapes less fruit in the bunches = lower quality wine.
