When is budburst?

Explanation:
Budburst is the moment when grapevine buds break open and start to grow, ending the winter dormancy. In temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere, this happens in early spring as heat accumulates, typically around March to April. It’s earlier in warmer regions and later in cooler ones, but March–April is the standard window used in wine education. The other options are outside this growth-start window: January–February is still winter dormancy, May–June would be after shoots are already growing, and November–March spans late autumn to winter when budburst hasn’t begun.
