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. Now she wants to realise her dream here and combine new wine with the old traditions as an organic winemaker. To do this, she left her permanent job in the capital Tbilisi six years ago and returned to her roots in the home village of Meore Obcha in western Georgia. Courageously and imaginatively, she began to adapt the handicrafts and traditions of the old. She first 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, they want to produce 10,000 bottles - organically grown and vinified in quevris, clay pots embedded in the earth. Women entrepreneurs like Baia are a sign of change in Georgia. She looks for bridges between the past and the future and trusts the strengths of others. When things get tough 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 with 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 a pink splendour adorns the German Wine Route and the hiking trails. Together with the vast Palatinate Forest, the region is particularly inviting for hiking, cycling and climbing at this time. We accompany 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 "Worscht un' Woi". Christina takes us to dizzying heights at 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 fine raspberry chocolate tartlets and discover that German sparkling wine and Japanese food harmonise excellently. And by the way: the bass guitars of Lady Gaga and Prince also come from the Palatinate.

The new episode of the documentary series goes back to 1985, when Austrian wine caused an international sensation as a "frost protection pearl". By adding the antifreeze 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 swiftly enforced new wine law, 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 them are allergenically relevant substances which, except for sulphur, do not have to be declared. In an investigation in France, for example, 28 pesticides were detected in 22 wines last year. However, environmentally friendly methods entail an economic risk for winegrowers. For the wetter and warmer the weather, the more action must be taken against fungi, weeds and insects. This has far-reaching consequences not only 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 examines the domestic range of products from supermarkets to vinotheques together with a winegrower and explores the question of whether a good wine also has to be expensive.

The cultivation of vines goes back many millennia. But wine is more than an intoxicating drink: in earlier civilisations wine was associated with gods, and it is no coincidence that it still plays a role in Christian liturgy today. According to all that is known 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 about the principle of fermentation, there are clear clues as to where grapevines were first cultivated. The trail leads to the eastern edge of the Black Sea in what is now Georgia. Here, archaeologists have excavated an 8,000-year-old Stone Age settlement. The findings leave no doubt: wine was produced here on a grand scale. And from Transcaucasia, the know-how of its production spread around the world. In addition to the walk through the cultural history of wine, the film makes repeated stops at 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 seemingly rotten grapes particularly sweet? Why was it possible in earlier times to get lead poisoning from drinking wine? Or why do you need sulphur in wine production? Interesting facts about a drink that is part of our cultural heritage like no other.

It is the vastness that captivates visitors to the Weinviertel. "The quarter under the Manhartsberg", so called since 1254, conveys a feeling of endlessness. It is no coincidence that the Weinviertel bears its name - viticulture determines the landscape in all its cultural forms and has always been formative for the inhabitants of this region. It is a gentle, warm hilly country that is used by people but has still preserved many original characteristics, a quiet land with a lot of past and hidden treasures.

Lake Garda is one of the most popular holiday regions in the south. But the wild and romantic mountain scenery and the lemon trees on the "Riviera dei Limoni" do not only attract bathers. The inhabitants of the Italian Piedmont know a lot about enjoyment - famous wines like Barolo or Barbaresco come from this region, and everywhere people like to cook well. Tuscany is also a region for lovers of scenic, cultural and culinary discoveries.

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

Collio, a wine-growing region in the extreme northeast of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, captivates with its hilly landscape, charming villages and culinary specialities. The wine there is first-class, spicy the vinegar and prosciutto. At the court in Vienna, the Collio was also called "the fruit chamber of the monarchy". Particularly popular in the ruling houses: the juicy cherries and the fruity white wine. The Felluga family and some other winegrowers were the first to start quality winegrowing in the Collio. The Collio hill country, manageable in its extent, offers a tremendous concentration of first-class wineries. The wine-growing area is also home to the largest number of autochthonous wines in Italy. The grappa produced from Picolit is also a taste experience in itself. The Domenis distillery near Cividale was one of the first to market grappa made from this grape variety and to elevate the marc brandy, which used to be discredited as a poor man's schnapps, to a spirit of the highest quality. Joško Sirk and his son Mitja ferment the wine into vinegar in barrique barrels. It has to be stored there for at least three years to mature into what is 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 taste that is not called the "Stradivarius of ham" for nothing.
