That is, table grapes may be actively become available on the market in mid-September.
The flowering in the vineyards was ten to twelve days late. However, despite rains, quite hot weather established in the country since the end of June. Thanks to this, producers note the rapid growth of bunches and berries. Some of them suggest that if in July-August most of the daytime temperature is about +30 degrees Celsius and above, some of the open-field vineyards in the southern part of the country will have time to get the sum of temperatures required for the harvest ripening in the first month of autumn.
