Land - Love - Air
The Wine Rebel

Juliane Eller from Alsheim (Rheinhessen) is the shooting star among German female winemakers. At the age of 23, she took over her parents' vineyard and radically restructured the business. That was six years ago. Since then, a new wind has been blowing at the winery - quality instead of mass. Eller relies on organic guidelines and hand harvesting. She has created her own wine line with Juwel wines. But nothing works without the family. Juliane is glad that her parents are involved. Grandma Katharina takes care of the physical well-being at the winery. For her wine marketing, Juliane Eller used social media from the very beginning; after all, she belongs to the "Instagram generation". She also wants to get younger people excited about German quality wine. Why not work with real celebrities for this? The young winemaker from Rheinhessen managed to get presenter Joko Winterscheidt on board. Joko also convinced his friend Matthias Schweighöfer to join in. Today, the three of them market their "3 Freunde wine". Besides working in the vineyard, Juliane Eller is constantly on the road, sometimes too much. Despite the support of her family, there is hardly any time left for her private life. That's why Juliane and father Thomas are looking for an employee for the outdoor area who shares the family's philosophy. Easier said than done.

Our Austria
Austria the land of pleasure - Viennese wine

A few years ago still a local speciality, today Viennese wine is one of the specialities on the wine market. The Gemischter Wiener Satz, for example, was DAC-classified in 2013 and has since been considered a brand. Different grape varieties such as Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Traminer or Weißburgunder are grown in one vineyard and harvested, pressed and fermented together. The flow of the Danube and the cool air from the Vienna Woods in the north of the city provide good climatic conditions. The success story of Viennese wine can be traced back to the WienWein winegrowers' group, among others. The winemakers Michael Edlmoser, Thomas Huber, Rainer Christ, Thomas Podsednik, Gerhard J. Lober and Fritz Wieninger joined forces in 2006 with the aim of protecting vineyards and reviving old traditions. They have succeeded, because with an area of 700 hectares, Vienna may be the smallest wine-growing region in Austria - but it is the largest in the world, located in a city of millions. Gerald Fleischhacker goes on an exploratory tour of Vienna's vineyards for "Genussland Österreich".

Weinviertel - Wide Country

Not only Italy, France and Spain are famous for their wines. Austria, too, looks back on a past in which music and wine merged and are inseparable to this day. It is the vastness that captivates visitors to Austria's Weinviertel. No other region in Austria conveys this feeling of endless landscape so vividly. A gentle, warm hilly country that is used by people, but still retains many original characteristics. 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 unique region.

Farming Worlds in the Southwest (2/2)
Life between wine and pasture

Agriculture in the Southwest thrives on its diversity - from small mountain pastures in the Black Forest and Westerwald, orchards at Lake Constance and in Rheinhessen, vineyards between Kaiserstuhl and Ahr, sheep and goat farms between the Swabian Alb and Hunsrück. As diverse as the landscapes in the southwest are, as varied is the history of the farms. The winemaker's daughter and former wine queen Julia Bertram has founded her own winery. Her Pinot Noirs from the Ahr are enjoyed with herring in Scandinavia and with Kobe beef in Japan. Everything in her vineyards is done by hand, because the slate slopes are too steep for machinery.

Leisure
Schmidt Max and no idea about champagne

Schmidt Max feels like celebrating. Now, on the 30th anniversary of his "freizeit". So maybe something bubbly in the glass: sparkling wine, prosecco, cava - sparkling wine. Or champagne? If only he knew what it was. So he set off on a journey in his grandfather's Opel Kadett and drove to where this drink comes from: the Champagne region, together with Otto Geisel, one of two sworn wine experts there are in Germany. The fact that he also speaks fluent French was very convenient for Max. In Champagne, the two of them got to the bottom of the matter with Schampus. Schmidt Max learned that "des Kracherl" from France may only consist of a maximum of three specific grape varieties, that champagne is already a wine and undergoes another fermentation. The most beautiful thing: That this drink is a wonderful food companion to almost all dishes. Much too good, then, to just be splashed around.

The wonderful world of wines
Thailand: Viticulture in the Tropics in the Night from Sunday to Monday

Away from the tourist beaches, a new culture settled in Thailand almost 20 years ago that no one had expected: viticulture. A handful of ambitious winegrowers set out to push the limits and adapt the vines to the hot, humid climate of the tropics. Thai viticulture is still in its infancy. But the "wines of the new latitudes" are on the rise - at the moment they are conquering the markets of Asia and perhaps soon the rest of the world. Thailand's three wine-growing regions are cultivated by only eight winemakers. The Khao Yai region - 160 kilometres north of Bangkok - offers the most favourable conditions for wine production. At the edge of the imposing Khao Yai mountain range lies the fertile Asoke Valley with the Gran Monte domain, which belongs to the Lohitnavy family. She has set out to produce a wine that will become famous beyond Thailand's borders. The 31-year-old boss Nikki Lohitnavy is Thailand's first and only female wine farmer and oenologist. She experimented for several years with over 40 grape varieties from all over the world until she found the most suitable species for the tropical latitudes. At the turn of the millennium, wine drinking was still frowned upon in Thailand. Buddhism warns against drinking alcohol because it makes people unpredictable. Thus, wine drinking is a marginal phenomenon and is still limited to the young clientele of Bangkok's chic restaurants.

Farming Worlds in the Southwest (2/2)
Life between wine and pasture

What does agriculture have to look like in order for animals to feel comfortable, nature to be protected and farmers to be able to make a living from it? The SWR documentary by Katja Debus and Jürgen Vogt shows farms in the southwest where rural agriculture is practised in the best sense - and still shapes the landscape today. Agriculture in the Southwest lives from its diversity - from small mountain pastures in the Black Forest and Westerwald, orchards at Lake Constance and in Rheinhessen, vineyards between the Kaiserstuhl and Ahr, sheep and goat farms between the Swabian Alb and Hunsrück. As diverse as the landscapes in the southwest are, as varied is the history of the farms. The documentary takes viewers into the farming worlds of the southwest. They experience farms and fields, animals as well as the people and their stories in impressive images from the air, on the pastures, between the vines - in unique shots from 100 years of film history.

WISO documentary
Spraying and tricking - The dirty business with wine

Germans love wine. Especially when it is cheap. Almost half of all wine is now sold in discounters. Wine production and sales are a global business - with downsides for the environment and workers. The most popular imported wine from overseas comes from South Africa. Good and cheap - that is the image. But the strong pressure on prices creates difficult conditions on South African wineries. Wine from the Bordeaux region is also appreciated in Germany. Germany imports about 15 million litres per year. Many French winegrowers, however, only achieve quality with pesticides that can be detected in the wine. And here, too, the image cultivated by the winegrowers of the noble, pure drop is only part of the reality. For in addition to pesticides in the vineyard, more than 50 additives may now be used in the wine cellar after the harvest. By no means all of them are harmless. The WISO documentary by Anna Fein, Erik Hane and Stefan Hanf investigates the consequences of the globalisation of the wine market for people and nature. The authors are on the trail of the dark side of wine: they research the working conditions at South African wineries. They talk to scientists about the use of synthetic chemical pesticides and fining agents in viticulture. They visit an organic vintner in the Bordeaux region who tries to produce high-quality wines in the most natural way possible.

Organic winegrowers focus on gentle viticulture. Here, working with a horse, the soil in the vineyard remains loose.

The wonderful world of vineyards

They are a millennia-old cultural asset of mankind - hardly anyone knows that they are also a piece of fascinating wilderness: Vineyards are natural jewels in civilisation and paradises for wildlife. In the vineyards of Austria, Germany and France, the irresistible smell of fresh vine leaves lures deer and their fawns out of the forest: once to eat the leaves, a second time to consume the sweet grapes. Ladybirds protect the vines from aphids, eating up to fifty of these little creatures a day - if they can resist even the ants' attacks. In the universe of the vineyards, hunters and hunted live together in very close quarters. In spring, young rabbits and baby foxes play with each other, but in summer the game turns into a merciless hunt. Buzzards eye field hamsters and mice. Which of them will escape? Who will get the best prey? And who can make the most of this unique biotope like the cat-like broom that hunts and feeds in southern France's vineyards before feasting on ripe grapes for dessert.

Made in the Southwest

The flood vintage - The Mayschoß winegrowers' cooperative after the disaster It was certainly the blackest day in the more than 150-year history of the Mayschoß winegrowers' cooperative, the oldest in Germany: the huge flood wave that raged through the Ahr valley in the night of 14-15 July 2021 also hit the winegrowers' cooperative hard. The buildings are largely destroyed and many of the 460 members are also literally left with nothing. But giving up was never an option: "The storm is getting stronger - it doesn't matter. So do we!" - The Mayschoßers have chosen the quote from Pippi Longstocking as their motto and are getting down to business: The wine bottles that were not destroyed are cleaned of mud and sent as flood wine surprise packages all over Germany. Managing director Mathias Baltes has had his temporary office in the former warehouse since the night of the flood. He and his team are fighting a race against time, because the grape harvest is supposed to start in six weeks, even though the Ahr valley is still in chaos. Although the vines on the steep slopes have largely been spared by the flood, wineries, harvesting machines or barrels have largely been destroyed. But all the hopes and livelihoods of the Ahr vintners hang on the 2021 vintage. "Made in Südwest" accompanies the winemakers from Mayschoß during these difficult and decisive weeks.

Stress in the family business

Generational change - about 30,000 family farms face this challenge every year. The handover does not always go smoothly. Many successors turn their parents' businesses upside down. Pure stress - for both sides. Her own vineyard at 14, the whole company at 26: Martina Bernhard from Wolfsheim near Mainz knows what she wants. For her parents Sabine (47) and Jörg (50) it was clear early on that their daughter would quickly go her own way. "But I still have to get used to the fact that my daughter is now also my boss," says Sabine Bernhard. Daughter Martina sets her own priorities. Sometimes a day is spent on the new Instagram campaign or the design consultation with an agency in Mainz: "Customer loyalty is super important for us.
