Yule massacre devastates New York vineyards in 1981
A severe freeze across upstate New York threatens over half the state grape crop for 1981 with losses of 80 to 90 percent in tender European varietals. Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley producers call it a Christmas massacre as temperatures stay below normal, killing primary buds and forcing an industry reevaluation of European vines in the region. Industry leaders from Clinton Vineyards, Hermann J. Wiemer, Taylor Wine Co., Gold Seal Vineyards, and Glenora Vineyards report extensive damage, with estimates ranging from 50 to 90 percent losses depending on grape type, while awaiting spring to confirm the full impact.
