WINE: Vine time

My great great grandfather, a vintner from the Palatinat wine region of Germany

would, I suspect, be amused to see that old style is new style in vine production

Using very traditional methods in vine propagation in

our first foray into wine grape production

instead of using modern methods of polytunnels, hormones and heat beds

has all paid off with our investment of patience and time

We are now looking at quite a few hours in potting up

our first contract volume of sparkling variety vines

Just wish those 1000's pots were cheaper as they have had a 98% strike !
