The Moulin Rouge is probably the most famous revue theatre in the world. Founded in 1889, it was initially regarded as a frivolous and indecent den of iniquity where the Parisian bohemians met. Today, it is a highly structured company: 400 employees prepare the daily entertainment programme, 1700 guests come every evening, and the theatre is considered the largest consumer of champagne in France. Shoes are made, the spring wheels and costumes are sewn in the theatre's own workshops. The height and weight of the dancers are prescribed - this is the only way to dance the perfect can-can that made the Moulin Rouge world famous.

The Naheweinstrasse was launched in 1971. It had role models: the German Wine Route, which had already been founded in the Third Reich, and the Baden Wine Route, which was established in 1954. They were and are all projects to promote viticulture and tourism. In contrast to the German Wine Route, the Nahe Wine Route did not really catch on. After euphoric beginnings, the project fizzled out. But the Nahe region is becoming increasingly well-known among wine lovers, and the reputation of the Nahe wines is excellent. Viticulture benefits from a mild climate and extremely diverse soils. The landscape offers spectacular panoramas. Spa towns such as Bad Kreuznach and Bad Sobernheim have long attracted recreation-seekers to the area, who explore the charming landscapes of the Naheland from the healing springs. Along the 130 kilometres of the Nahe Wine Route, the SWR television team meets unusual people who are connected to this charming region in different ways. It visits traditional wineries that are facing up to the challenges of the present and delves deep into the region's Prussian past. It meets a contemporary witness from the founding days of the Nahe Wine Route, a newcomer with whom it strolls through Bad Kreuznach and shows the light and shade of the Nahe metropolis. The basic idea behind the Naheweinstrasse may no longer be current - but it is worth following its course. The Nahe region has surprising things to offer for those who like to explore!

Director Ulrike Becker and her team spent three weeks on the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily and sketched a portrait of the Aeolian soul in many small encounters. On Salina she meets the passionate winemaker Nino Caravaglio, who produces Malvasia wine. "This vine has determined the destiny of our islands," says Caravaglio, "it made Salina so prosperous that in the 19th century we had a fleet of about a hundred merchant ships. When phylloxera came at the end of the 19th century and completely destroyed the vineyards, it triggered a mass exodus. People had to emigrate, otherwise they would have starved to death. Only when means were found to control the aphid did second or third generation emigrants come back and replant the destroyed areas."

The heavy rain events and floods in Saarland at the beginning of June have once again shown how helpless we are at the mercy of the forces of nature. And how dramatic the consequences would be if such events were to become even more frequent as a result of climate change, even with a temperature increase of two degrees. Annette Bak set out to find out what climate change in the future could mean for Saarland, together with those affected and experts. She points out the problems, but also presents solutions that can be used to counter climate change in a gentle way. Farmers are being troubled by weather extremes such as drought, heavy rain and heat, which are unprecedented in their scale. Because the time windows for harvesting are getting smaller and smaller, they need bigger machines to bring in the harvest faster. Only the regional winegrowers tend to be on the winning side. The milder climate gives them up to 20 degrees Öchsle more than thirty years ago.

For centuries, the vineyard peach grew along the Moselle in good proximity to the vines and shaped the landscape. But since the 1970s, more and more winegrowers have given up: Viticulture in the difficult-to-grow steep slopes no longer paid off. And with the vines, the "Pesch" also disappeared. Slowly, the fruit is returning to the kitchen table. Markus and Meta Dreis from the Moselle village of Bremm have about 400 peach trees. Jörg Wolf, one of the few table grape growers in Rhineland-Palatinate, grows wine on a good 14 hectares. But his passion is not for wine grapes, but for table grapes. At first glance, he seems rather inconspicuous, small and hard, round and with a furry skin. But when cut open, it looks spectacular with its purple-coloured flesh. This is what gave it its name: red vineyard peach. For centuries, it grew along the Moselle in close proximity to the vines and shaped the landscape. But since the 1970s, more and more winegrowers have given up: Viticulture in the difficult steep slopes of the Moselle no longer paid off. And with the vines disappeared the "Pesch", as the Mosel people call the red vineyard peach. But slowly the fruit is returning to the kitchen table. Markus and Meta Dreis from the Moselle village of Bremm have about 400 peach trees. He takes care of the trees, she takes care of processing and marketing the fruit - as a sideline, a hobby, so to speak. "The hobby has become quite time-consuming, but it is a lot of fun and a great balance to my actual job as a media designer," says the man in his mid-forties and laughs. The red vineyard peach was then joined by a little Riesling. And that in the steepest steep slope in the world, the Calmont. The vineyards of Jörg Wolf from Ungstein in the Palatinate are not quite as steep. The trained vintner grows wine on a good 14 hectares. But his passion is not for wine grapes, but for table grapes. He cultivates them on about two hectares. Jörg Wolf is one of the few table grape growers in Rhineland-Palatinate and is one of Germany's pioneers in this field. He has about 15 varieties in his stock and also sells his vines to Serbia or France. Some varieties are already ripe at the end of August, but the actual harvest time begins in September. "We harvest everything by hand here, nothing can be done mechanically with the table grapes," says Jörg Wolf. He and his wife Regina sell an average of 500 kilos of table grapes per week in direct sales during harvest time. "Unlike imported grapes, our table grapes do not have long journeys behind them. They come directly from the plantation. And people really appreciate that," enthuses Jörg Wolf.

Up to 75 percent of Germany's insects have already disappeared. A silent death, with serious consequences. Two thirds of the hundred most important crops need pollination by insects. New habitats and food supplies are needed: in cities, in the countryside and in private gardens. "plan b" presents ideas to make this happen. The recipe for survival for bees, butterflies and hoverflies: more native wild plants for public and private gardens, flowers for cornfields and less pesticides. In France, the DEPHY network, an association of 3000 conventionally managed farms, is trying to minimise the use of pesticides. Among other things, the farmers plant a wider range of crops, work with crop rotations and control weeds mechanically. They are advised by biologists and agro-scientists like Florent Banctel. He helps winegrowers in the Loire region to use less poison. The successes are remarkable: on 59 percent of the farms, the use of pesticides could be reduced by 42 percent without any reduction in yield. On average, the use of pesticides was reduced by 30 percent.

It has long been impossible to imagine the grape harvest without them: the massive harvesters that push their way through the vineyards and shake the grapes off the vines in the blink of an eye. One machine replaces around 100 harvesters and, in times of climate change, enables a gentle and fast harvest in the cooler morning and evening hours. The only German manufacturer of grape harvesters, the company ERO Gerätebau, is not - as one might expect - at home in a wine-growing region, but in the beer-drinking Hunsrück. From the small village of Niederkumbd, the red giants have so far gone to the entire wine-growing world - from Europe to New Zealand. The success of their products has long since brought the company to its limits; it can no longer grow in Niederkumbd. That's why ERO boss Michael Erbach had to make a tough decision a few years ago: the company is rebuilding and moving completely to Simmern, seven kilometres away. A huge financial and logistical challenge for the medium-sized family business, because even during the new building and racking production must continue to run at full capacity. Will that work? "made in Südwest" has accompanied the process for three years.
