A review of wireless sensor network methods used for environmental monitoring of micro climates in vineyards is presented. The telemetry architecture used consists of a wireless grid of sensor arrays to log data in real-time and transmit it from nine locations in six countries to a database server located in New Zealand. Analysis of the data includes climate plotting against trends and macro environmental data over time, in addition to clustered characteristic based visualisations of grape variety, wine quality with vineyard location influences and other growing conditions. Algorithms for frost prediction and irrigation management are described with a proposal for integrating the technology using in situ remotely controlled robots and the consequent correlation of value-dependent variables as they relate to sets of quality grape growing characteristics and wine taste.
