Number of pounds of botrytised grapes that workers picking grapes for the sweet wine Dolce can pick in one hour. By contrast, a worker can pick 500 pounds of chardonnay grapes in an hour or 350 pounds of cabernet. The extremely slow picking is a result of the fact that workers have to cut each perfectly botrytised grape berry one-by-one out of the grape cluster. Dolce is considered one of the top sweet wines of California.
