Historically, wine was not just a beverage: adding wine to water could sterilize the water, making it safe to drink. It was also an extra source of calories and considering the small effort it took to cultivate grapevines, it was a worthy investment for many farmers. Barbera took well to California and there are currently over 4,600 acres planted across the state. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDID YOU KNOW? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooper's Hawk Barbera comes from a single vineyard, the Paddy Creek vineyard in Lodi, California, which has over forty acres of Barbera planted.
