It has long been impossible to imagine the grape harvest without them: the mighty "full harvesters" that push their way through the vineyards with long legs and shake the grapes off the vines in the blink of an eye. One machine replaces about 100 harvesters and, in times of climate change, allows for 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 would expect - at home in a wine-growing region, but in the Hunsrück, where beer is drunk rather than wine. 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 its products has long since brought the company to its limits; it can no longer grow in Niederkumbd. That is why ERO boss Michael Erbach had to make a difficult decision a few years ago: The company builds and moves completely to Simmern, seven kilometres away.

When we think of corals, we usually think of the South Seas or the Great Barrier Reef. But of the Southern Wine Route? But there in Leinsweiler is one of the largest breeding facilities in Europe. And it is in a former wine cellar. Master winemaker Jürgen Wendel caught the coral fever at the age of 13. Today, around 35,000 corals live in his 20,000-litre facility, around 50 different species. His customers are wealthy private individuals, pet shops, but also large public aquariums all over Europe. For Jürgen Wendel, working with vines and corals has a lot in common - here as there, you have to prune and thin out, and you only reap the reward for all the effort years later. The programme accompanies Jürgen Wendel for more than a year. Among other things, during the design of a large coral exhibition in the "Sealife" aquarium in Speyer or the creation of an artificial underwater world in a huge 7,000-litre aquarium.

So anyone who lives here has to be industrious. Is that why the people of Saxony-Anhalt are also virtuous? What actually happens if you want to be virtuously industrious but can't?

Michael Friemel tastes wine from the Unesco wine terraces of Lavaux. As early as 100 AD, the Romans planted vines on the steep shore slopes. Then, in the Middle Ages, Cistercian monks began to lay out terraces in steps, fortified with masonry, thus increasing the quality and yield of the vines. It is said that three suns pamper the vines of Lavaux. The direct sunlight reflected from the lake surface and the heat stored in the stone terraces. Over the centuries, winegrowers have covered the south-facing slopes with terraces as high as the forest. In between, like nests, picturesque winegrowers' villages, their houses crowded into the smallest of spaces. Every square metre is used to grow wine. Despite the use of modern techniques, winegrowing in Lavaux is still extremely complex today due to the steep slopes. To facilitate cultivation, dizzying monorails have been built to transport people and materials up to the upper terraces. The steepest slopes are those of Dézaley, which were formed by the Rhone glacier. The clay and chalky soil gives the wines - especially the Chasselas, the Gutedel - their typical taste. The Lavaux - mountains, lake, vineyards and settlements - forms a unique cultural landscape that was inscribed on Unesco's World Heritage List in 2007.

In August 2014, Rudy Kurniawan was sentenced to ten years in prison in New York. His crime: He had counterfeited wines worth several million dollars. "Label Swindle - The Great Wine Scandal" tells of the large-scale counterfeiting business and takes a look around the lucrative market where the gullibility of customers invites unscrupulous business. The trade in vintage wines has experienced a phenomenal boom in the last 15 years, but it has also attracted the interest of counterfeiters and fraudsters. Winemaker Laurent Ponsot himself became a victim of wine counterfeiters and is now conducting his own research: In the USA, he is on the trail of Rudy Kurniawan, a wine merchant with Indonesian roots. The wine counterfeiter presented himself as a rich heir who had built up a successful wine trade. He organised auctions where wines were bought for several million dollars. During his investigation, Laurent Ponsot comes across Bill Koch, one of the biggest American wine collectors, who himself has been cheated out of several million dollars. Koch has hired a private detective and filed a complaint with the FBI. Together, the winemaker and the collector investigate the sophisticated machinations of the young Rudy Kurniawan, who is now ensnared by Hollywood producers and financial bosses. Behind him is a mysterious network of rich Chinese from Indonesia who ran banks in Jakarta and embezzled their funds. The enigmatic portrait raises numerous questions - about the sense and nonsense of luxury markets and the manipulability of aspiration and taste. In any case, after his transformation from connoisseur to swindler, Rudy Kurniawan leaves behind fake wine worth a total of 100 million dollars, distributed among wine cellars all over the world. The programme is also available online from 21/07 to 29/07 on ARTE's internet portal.

When three villages become one community, it requires a sense of community and the will to work together. The community of Zellertal in the north of the Palatinate consists of the villages of Harxheim, Niefernheim and Zell.
