[edit] Grape harvest in Hebrew

Did you know, in Hebrew there is a specific word for this. It is called Bazir. Maybe it should be mentioned in this article? Also, Bazir plays a role in Judaism and in the Bible, so maybe you can write about that too. (I'm not good at writing articles so I'm just suggesting). YemeniteCamel 10:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

That would work nicely in a history section. Or at the very least we could put it in the lead after the description of what the new & old world names. Could you steer me in the direction of a couple reliable sources that I could use for it? Agne^Cheese/^Wine 10:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

We have a special word in English, too: vintage: "Vintage, in wine-making, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product," I read in Wikipedia. Vendange and vendemmia might each get a mention. The faintly daffy idea of a "wine harvest" makes me giddy: I want to suggest that of a comparable "bread harvest" and recall the "Spaghetti tree" hoax. Did "Grape harvest" seem too prosaic? --Wetman 11:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Well vintage has its spot in the lead. The title of Harvest (wine) was chosen because it is most commonly referred to in our wine articles as Harvest and with the parenthetical disambig it made it easy to pipe link it to the correct page instead of the generic harvest.
