Abstract	Most quality wines are produced in areas where annual precipitation is below 700 to 800 mm (Jackson & Schuster, 1994), and evidence suggests that high rainfall or excessive irrigation lowers quality. Excessive irrigation is reported to slow ripening, increase yields partially berry enlargement, elevate juice pH and acid content, and reduce anthocyanins due to shading. In contrast, water stress enhances early ripening but reduces yield, berry weight, and malic, acid from excessive exposure (Smart & Coombe, 1983). Evidence shows that water stress also reduces overall transpiration of grapevines (Smart 1974). Timing of water stress also contributes to changes in yield and berry sugar content (Alleweldt & Ruhl, 1982, Becker & Zimmerman, 1983).
