So much can go wrong with winemaking: poor weather, natural disasters, disease, pests.But of everything that can go wrong, the unexpected must be the most frustrating.A vineyard in Canada discovered that thieves had stolen thousands of dollars' worth of grapes right off of the vine.In the middle of the night, thieves made off with over a thousand pounds of Vidal blanc grapes.That's enough for about 325 bottles with a retail value of around $3,800.The heist likely involved the culprits tossing grapes into garbage bags and then hauling them off in a small trailer.The winery filed a police report and offered a reward of five cases of wine to anyone who can help catch the thieves
