Can you pause a vineyard without sacrificing its future?

As more growers consider mothballing to weather today's market, there's still one big challenge: there isn't a playbook.

In the July issue of W**eBusiness Monthly, Hayli Macomber, with contributions from Dr. Chris Chen, examines the latest research from UC Cooperative Extension, lessons from growers already putting the strategy into practice, and the management decisions that can make (or break) a vineyard's recovery.

The 2026 W**eBusiness Monthly Barrel & Oak Survey confirms what many in the industry have been feeling: w**eries are buying less oak than they were a few years ago.

But the trend isn't simply about spending less.

W**eries continue to prioritize premium oak; adoption of alternatives remains limited; and cooperages continue to invest in long-term research and product development.

So what does that tell us about where the industry is headed?

Our July issue takes a closer look at the numbers, the trends, and what cooperages across the industry are seeing firsthand.

Is this just an inventory correction, or are we witnessing a long-term shift in how w**eries think about oak?

What if grapevines inherit more than just their DNA? 🍇🧬

In this fascinating look at the science behind clonal propagation, Dario Cantu explores new research showing that Cabernet Sauvignon has preserved not only its genetic identity, but also inherited epigenetic "memories" from its parent varieties for centuries. The findings could reshape how we think about clone selection, vineyard resilience, and adapting to a changing climate.
