1 hectoliter of grapes per hectare produces approximately 133 bottles or 11.1 cases of wine (a standard bottle is 750 milliliters). 1 hectoliter of grapes per hectare would be equivalent to .0741 tons of grapes per acre. A ton of grapes produces about 727 bottles or just over 60 cases of wine.
If my maths are correct , you'll need about 4 hectares (40,000 sqm) for your 500 bottles, but each year will vary in yield according to rainfall/temperature.
Good luck!
