Baia Abuladze is a winemaker. At the beginning of September, the Georgian awaits the highlight of the year - the grape harvest. Even as a child, the family vineyard was a magical place for her. She now wants to realise her dream here and combine new wine with old traditions as an organic winegrower. Six years ago, she gave up her permanent job in the capital Tbilisi and returned to her roots in her home village of Meore Obcha in western Georgia. Courageous and full of ideas, she began to adapt the traditional crafts and traditions of her elders. She initially finds support from her grandfather. She founds her company "Baia's Wine" and relies on the family. Together they produce 7,000 bottles of wine a year. Now, for the first time, the aim is to produce 10,000 - organically grown and matured in quevris, clay pots sunk into the ground. Entrepreneurs like Baia herald change in Georgia. She looks for bridges between the past and the future and trusts the strengths of others. When things get difficult for Baia, she does it like the flea and the ant in her favourite fairy tale. To get her friend from one shore to the other, the flea mobilises the help of all the animals, big and small. This is how they overcome the obstacle. This poetic film tells the story of whether and how the 27-year-old winegrower succeeds in doing so during the new harvest.

Warm hospitality, good wine, good food, 2,000 hours of sunshine a year - a landscape straight out of a picture book. In March, the almond blossom heralds the arrival of spring. Then the German Wine Route and the hiking trails are adorned with pink splendour. Together with the vast Palatinate Forest, the region is particularly inviting for hiking, cycling and climbing at this time of year. We accompany the former wine princess Christina Fischer on a journey through her homeland from the Palatinate Forest to Deidesheim - and discover with her a region that has more to offer than just "Worscht un' Woi". Christina takes us to dizzying heights on the Trifels climbing rock, we meet Europe's largest coral breeder in the small village of Leinsweiler, indulge in reveries in the garden of a (rather down-to-earth) fantasist, learn the secret of delicious raspberry chocolate tartlets and discover that German sparkling wine and Japanese food harmonise perfectly. And by the way: the bass guitars of Lady Gaga and Prince also come from the Palatinate.

Porto is famous for its port wine, but also for its nostalgic trams. The most popular is Line 1, the "Infante", named after the explorer Henry the Navigator. A very special railway line, the "Linha do Douro", also begins in Porto. The line runs along the Douro river in the centre of the UNESCO-listed wine-growing region - the only place where the grapes for the popular port wine are allowed to grow.

In the new episode of the documentary series, we go back to 1985, when Austrian wine caused an international sensation as a "frost protection pearl". By adding the anti-freeze agent diethylene glycol and falsifying certificates, producers and traders had made a million-dollar business. The result: countless arrests, a veritable political scandal and, thanks to a new wine law that was quickly pushed through, the beginning of a success story for Austrian wine that continues to this day.

Up to 300 additives can be used in the production of one type of wine. Some of these are allergenic substances which, apart from sulphur, do not have to be declared. In an investigation in France last year, for example, 28 pesticides were detected in 22 wines. However, environmentally friendly methods harbour an economic risk for winegrowers. The wetter and warmer the weather, the more action must be taken against fungi, weeds and insects. This not only has far-reaching consequences for nature, but also for the winegrowers themselves. Cancer has long been considered an occupational disease in the wine industry. So is wine still a purely natural product? Reporter Anna Illenberger joins a winemaker to examine the local offerings from supermarkets to wine shops and explores the question of whether good wine has to be expensive.

Drought, heat, fire - the weather is becoming increasingly extreme in France too. In certain regions, it has hardly rained at all for a year and a half. This means stress for the plants and the soil is drying out more and more. Winegrowers there fear for their future. Climate change is threatening French viticulture: winegrowers are struggling with major crop failures. More and more winegrowers are faced with the question: give up or irrigate? But which water to use?

The cultivation of vines goes back many thousands of years. But wine is more than just an intoxicating drink: in earlier civilisations, wine was associated with gods, and it is no coincidence that it still plays a role in the Christian liturgy today. According to what we know today, the grapevine is around 80 million years old, a contemporary of the dinosaurs. Even if we do not know exactly how long humans have known the principle of fermentation, there are clear indications of where vines were first cultivated. The trail leads to the eastern edge of the Black Sea in what is now Georgia. Here, archaeologists have unearthed an 8,000-year-old Stone Age settlement. The finds leave no doubt: wine was produced here on a large scale. And from Transcaucasia, the know-how of its production spread throughout the world. In addition to the journey through the cultural history of wine, the film makes repeated stops at Hochschule Geisenheim University, one of the world's leading scientific wine-growing institutes. Experiments and interviews with experts provide answers to interesting questions: How does the red colour get into the wine? Why are apparently rotten grapes particularly sweet? Why was it possible to get lead poisoning from drinking wine in earlier times? Or why is sulphur needed to make wine? Interesting facts about a drink that is part of our cultural heritage like no other.

It is the vastness that casts a spell over visitors to the Weinviertel. "The neighbourhood under the Manhartsberg", as it has been called since 1254, conveys a feeling of endlessness. It is no coincidence that the Weinviertel bears its name - viticulture defines the landscape in all its cultural forms and has always characterised the inhabitants of this region. It is a gentle, warm, hilly region that is utilised by people but still retains many original characteristics, a quiet land with a rich past and hidden treasures.

Lake Garda is one of the most popular holiday regions in the south. But the wildly romantic mountain scenery and lemon trees on the "Riviera dei Limoni" attract more than just holidaymakers. The inhabitants of Italy's Piedmont know a lot about savouring food - famous wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco come from this region, and good food is enjoyed everywhere. Tuscany is also a region for lovers of scenic, cultural and culinary discoveries. Its hallmark: gently rolling hills, vineyards close together, small villages in Chianti, with parades of dark green cypresses in between.

This time Martin Traxl and Lojze Wieser explore the landscape and cuisine of the Kamptal and Wagram. The two neighbouring regions in Lower Austria are hotspots for culinary delights and culture. The loess soils of the Wagram provide the ideal breeding ground for Roter Veltliner, one of Austria's oldest indigenous white wine grape varieties. Not far from here, on the western slopes of the Manhartsberg and along the Kamp, Grüner Veltliner and Riesling in particular thrive, maturing in the depths of the cellar lanes that characterise the landscape. A local speciality is Verjus, which is made from unripe grapes and only experienced a renaissance a few years ago.

Collio, a wine-growing region in the far north-east of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, is characterised by its hilly landscape, charming villages and culinary specialities. The wine there is first-class, the vinegar and prosciutto are flavoursome. At court in Vienna, the Collio was also known as "the fruit chamber of the monarchy". Particularly popular in the royal houses: the juicy cherries and the fruity white wine. The Felluga family and several other winegrowers were the first to start producing quality wine in the Collio. The Collio hills, which are small in size, are home to a huge concentration of first-class wineries. The wine-growing region is also home to the largest number of indigenous wines in Italy. The grappa produced from Picolit is also a flavour experience in its own right. The Domenis distillery near Cividale was one of the first to bring grappa from this grape variety onto the market and elevate the pomace brandy, which was previously disreputable as a poor man's liquor, to a spirit of the highest quality. Joško Sirk and his son Mitja ferment the wine into vinegar in barrique barrels. It must be stored there for at least three years to mature into perhaps the best vinegar in Italy. Andrea D'Osvaldo, on the other hand, has dedicated himself to prosciutto. A special smoking process and the climate result in the special flavour, which is not called the "Stradivarius of ham" for nothing.

Anyone who drinks alcohol in public in Morocco must expect to be penalised. So it may seem all the more surprising that viticulture in this North African country can look back on a centuries-old tradition: From the Romans to the arrival of Islam in the region to the French colonisers in the 20th century. The long history of Moroccan wine has accompanied that of the kingdom to this day.

Vineyards cover almost a third of the country, and the grape juice has rapidly begun its international triumphal march. But the wine also tells the story of a society scarred by the Pinochet dictatorship, which is twofold: divided, but also combative.
