if the area cannot support grapes for wine, humans shouldn't live there.

The Californians are an idle, thriftless people, and can make nothing for themselves. The country abounds in grapes, yet they buy, at a great price, bad wine made in Boston... - Richard Henry Dana

According to google each bottle of wine has about 600-800 grapes. Let's say 700. That means each bottle of wine requires around 210 gallons of water.

So for each 210 gallons you send our way,
we'll send you a nice current vintage bottle of vino!

Much appreciated.
