• The Total Wine Package

Growing grapes and making wine is one of agriculture's oldest and most romantic industries. Success requires persistence, patience, passion and money. The wine industry is enjoying a resurgence of interest and many are hoping to realize their dream. But those who are reaping the rewards will tell you that success depends on doing the homework before jumping in. With that in mind, Iowa State University Extension, the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture and the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center created the Total Wine Package video as a tool to help Iowans and Midwesterners to become better informed.

The video helps to provide answers to key questions asked by people about a vineyard or winery business. The video is in three sections; Exploring the Opportunity, Behind the Scene, and Growing the Business, Selling the Business. The video is available over the Internet as streaming video.The location of the web site is http://www.agmrc.org/agmrc/commodity/fruits/wine/winevideo.htm.

The video is available in a DVD format by sending a check made payable to Iowa State University in the amount of $25 to:

1111 NSRIC Building, Iowa State University
Ames, Iowa 50011
