Recommended vineyard density according to frost intensity

*Figures given for a spring frost with zero wind. In vineyards, a higher number may be required in the event of very heavy frosts.
*Average autonomy may be lower depending on weather conditions, wind, atmospheric pressure and candle positioning (faster combustion if the candle is slightly inclined or the ground is sloping).
