New York Finger Lake Grape Price List

__________________________________________________________
Finger Lakes Grape
Price List for 2015
by Dave Scurlock, OSU/OARDC Viticulture Outreach Specialist
By New York Law, commercial processors of grapes (wineries) must report prices paid for
grapes to the commissioner by August 15. In Ohio, we do not have this legislation to report
grape prices paid so we use the Finger Lakes Grape Price List as a reference to start negotiations
between buyer and seller. Below I have an excerpt from this legislation and a link at the bottom
of this page. We did solicit prices paid/sold by Ohio wineries and growers a couple of years ago
from all of our growers and wineries in the state and only got feedback from a total of 13
wineries/growers. Not enough to produce an accurate price list of our own so we have not
generated one specific for Ohio. I hope you find this information useful in your negotiations.
N.Y. AGM. LAW § 250-f : NY Code - Section 250-F: Stated grape price - See more at:
http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/nycode/AGM/20/250-f#sthash.rmfitcio.dpuf
Notwithstanding any provision of subdivision one of section two hundred fifty-e of this article,
except with respect to such cooperative member patrons, it shall be unlawful for any processor
doing business in New York to purchase or receive or attempt to purchase or receive grapes
grown in New York state unless the processor sets forth and makes available to any selling or
delivering party, not later than August fifteenth in the year in which the grapes are to be
delivered, the sum total in dollars and cents of all amounts paid or to be paid per unit; provided,
however, that a processor and a producer may negotiate without restriction a price for up to five
tons of grapes per variety, not to exceed a maximum of twenty tons of grapes total, other than the
price originally set forth pursuant to this section provided that any such negotiated prices shall be
set forth in writing by the processor no later than the date of delivery of said grapes. Where a
selling or delivering party has a contract for delivery of such grapes to a processor, the processor
shall, not later than August fifteenth in the year in which such grapes are to be delivered, mail to
the delivering or selling party written notice of the stated grape price and of the opportunity to
refuse to so deliver with respect thereto. Such notice may also be provided by facsimile, or other
electronic means to selling or delivering parties who have the ability to accept notice in that
manner and have agreed to accept service by such means. The processor shall also provide to the
commissioner by mail, facsimile, or other electronic means, no later than August fifteenth of
each year in which such grapes are to be delivered, a written statement of the stated grape price
to be paid for such grapes. - See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/nycode/AGM/20/250f#sthash.rmfitcio.dpuf

1. Some “premium” prices may not be listed. Some processors may have sliding price scales, based on Brix.
2. If in doubt, check with the buyer. We have made every effort to be accurate, but the range of price categories was edited.
3. The “average” price listed is merely an average of the stated prices. It is not weighted based on tons purchased at each price.
