TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the PRISM (Parameter-elevation relationships on independent slopes model) interpolation method to develop data sets that reflected, as closely as possible, the current state of knowledge of spatial climate patterns in the United States.

TL;DR: In the wines produced from low-vigor zones, there was a large increase in the proportion of skin tannin extracted into the wine, whereas little change occurred in seed proanthocyanidin extraction.

TL;DR: There was a trend for lower anthocyanin concentration (milligrams per berry) in high vigor zones in both years, and there was a higher proportion of malvidin-3-O-glucoside and lower proportions of the other four anthocianins found in Pinot Noir.

TL;DR: In the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plant Hardiness Zone Map (PHZM) is the primary reference for defining geospatial patterns of extreme winter cold for the horticulture and nursery industries, home gardeners, agrometeorologists and plant scientists as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: There was a strong positive relationship between pigmented polymer concentration, bisulfite bleaching resistant pigments, proanthocyanidin concentration, and color density in wines and differences found in the wines magnified variation in the fruit.
