The wonderful world of wine
Canada: The Wine of the Great Lakes

The vineyards of the world combine the expertise of hard-working winemakers with the mysterious forces of nature. Whether situated on the water, sheltered by high mountains or on the edge of a desert, wineries illustrate the diversity of this special kind of agriculture. Vancouver on Canada's west coast is the gateway to British Columbia, the country's third largest province, which impresses with fascinating landscapes. 400 kilometres from the Pacific coast, behind snow-capped peaks and deep gorges, lies the Okanagan Valley. Its special ecosystem makes it predestined for winegrowing. It is not so long ago that the first vines were planted here. In the far west of Canada, the Okanagan Valley stretches behind snow-capped peaks and deep gorges. The contrasting landscape has fertile valleys and a whole series of lakes. The largest is Okanagan Lake, which covers more than 300 square kilometres. The region is characterised by a great variety of soil types and a climate with incredible temperature fluctuations from 45 degrees Celsius in summer to minus 35 degrees Celsius in winter. The south of the valley is one of the driest areas in Canada. Here, the vineyards of Covert Farms cover 260 hectares. Gene Covert, the owner of the domain, is continuing the work of his ancestors in the fourth generation. North of Osoyoos, temperatures are particularly low, ideal for growing grape varieties that cope well with cold - Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, for example. And this region is made for a speciality: ice wine. This highly aromatic sweet wine is made from frozen grapes - a method that vintners from the Rhine-Hessian town of Dromersheim near Bingen discovered rather by accident in 1830. Eric von Krosigk devotes himself enthusiastically to this coveted rarity. In the southern Okanagan Valley, temperatures can rise to 45 degrees Celsius. Here, in a 400-hectare desert-like area that was considered sacred to their ancestors, Indians have managed to cultivate vines. Justin Hall is chief oenologist and runs the first Native-run winery in North America. The Nk'Mip is a winery whose production and management is entirely in the hands of an Indian tribe. Thanks to the fertile soils and the nearby Lake Osoyoos, the Osoyoos Indians have been able to realise many projects without destroying their ancestral land.

The Wonderful World of Wine
USA: How wine is conquering the West

California embodies the American dream like hardly any other state in the USA. In the days of the gold rush, only very few fortune seekers actually found gold. Most of them turned to agriculture and soon the first vines were planted. The documentary takes us to Napa Valley, the centre of American viticulture. A 93,000-hectare paradise that is one of the world's most renowned wine-growing regions. California has always stood for the American dream. During the gold rush, around 300,000 American and foreign gold miners came to San Francisco and the surrounding area to seek their fortune. Only a few became rich, many eventually turned to agriculture or viticulture. Within a few years, Napa Valley, about an hour's drive from San Francisco, developed into the centre of American wine production and one of the most renowned wine-growing regions in the world. The history of the Buena Vista winery, which has existed since 1857, is a prime example of the American Dream. The founder of the estate, a Hungarian emigrant named Agoston Haraszthy, is considered the father of Californian viticulture. 150 years later, it is again a European, this time a Frenchman, who manages the estate and thus keeps the spirit of the founder alive: Jean-Charles Boisset loves his lands and his most important grape variety, the Primitivo, which is called "Zinfandel" in the USA.

California's Napa Valley, about an hour's drive from San Francisco, is considered the centre of American viticulture.

alpha-retro: The Kaiserstuhl
(1970)

Nestled between the Black Forest and the Vosges is a tiny mountain range of volcanic origin: the Kaiserstuhl. 16 km long and 12.5 km wide, it is home to many interesting and strange sights. Its southern slopes are home to some of the warmest vineyards in Germany. It is no wonder that the wine of Kaiserstühl is highly esteemed by connoisseurs. However, this has only been the case since the 1920s, when the prerequisite for the production of quality wine was created with the first winegrowers' cooperative.

among winegrowers

For the winegrowers Kilian and Angelina, the support of their friends and family is indispensable to enable them to harvest grapes and bottle wine year after year. With a close-knit group of friends, relatives and Eastern European harvest helpers, they climb the steepest vineyards in Europe every autumn - on the Calmont on the Moselle. In the summer of the century, 2018, the vines are full. So full, in fact, that the tanks quickly fill up during the harvest. Soon there is hardly room for all the wine in the cellar. The abundant harvest pushes all the helpers to their limits.

Treasures of the World - Heritage of Mankind
The Wine Terraces of Lavaux (Switzerland)

The wine-growing region of Lavaux between Lausanne and Vevey is considered one of the most beautiful landscapes in Switzerland. Mountains, lake, vineyards and settlements form a unique cultural landscape. The mighty rock faces of the Savoy and Vaud Alps protect against cold winds, and the over 300-metre-deep Lac Léman - Lake Geneva - also ensures a mild climate. Good conditions for viticulture in an alpine region. As early as 100 AD, the Romans planted vines on the steep shore slopes.

Greece: The Ancient Wine of Santorini

On the Greek island of Santorini, vines are woven into small baskets ("koulouras") near the ground to provide extra protection for the precious grapes. Oenologist Ioanna and her agronomist prune the vines according to ancient techniques and propagate them by mossing to preserve their precious genetic material. The Santorini archipelago was formed by a volcanic eruption about 3,500 years ago and was named after Saint Irene by the Venetians in the 12th century. Since grapevines are among the few plants that thrive on the dry ash soil and withstand the fierce sea winds, wine became the island's most important export product early on. Wines from Santorini are considered sons of fire and water, because vine growth is also influenced by the tides. Yiannis Paraskevopoulos is trying a daring experiment there: his white wine from the native Assyrtiko grapes ferments for years in bottles, 20 metres below the surface of the water.

Ilias is one of the oldest winegrowers in Santorini who still works with the original, traditional methods. He explains the special technique of head pruning: with it, the vines can become ancient.

The wonderful world of wine
Portugal: Porto, the wine of the Douro

In the northwest of Portugal, along the Douro River, vines grow from which a velvety, dark sweet wine is pressed that is considered Portugal's trademark: port wine. As early as 2,000 years ago, people began to turn the steep slopes in the best locations into vineyards. The slate soils are ideal for vine cultivation. It took Portuguese winegrowers a lot of sweat and effort to shape the stony, desert-like terrain to their liking. The winegrowers of the Douro Valley are architects of a very special cultural landscape. Not far from the famous pilgrimage church of Lamego lies the Quinta do Bom Retiro, one of the oldest vineyards in Portugal. The vines on the stone-walled terraces and rocky outcrops are a living example of the history of the Douro Valley. Winemaker João de Almeida, whose ancestors, originally from Porto, have been working in viticulture for generations, knows a lot about the special features of the region and the secrets of fortified wine. His great-granduncle Adriano Ramos Pinto was the architect of these "hanging gardens".
As early as 2,000 years ago, people began to cultivate wine on the steep and inhospitable slate slopes of the Douro River. In the process, the Portuguese winegrowers learned to cope with this stony and almost desert-like area and, over time, transformed the bare slopes into extensive vineyards. Today, modern agricultural machinery facilitates the creation of new terraces and their planting. Nevertheless, wine growing in the Douro Valley remains a permanent challenge. The documentary also takes us to Porto. Portugal's second largest city is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean and plays an important role in the success story of port wine. It was here in 1756 that the Marquês de Pombal laid down the first quality criteria for port wine. It may only be grown on plots that meet certain requirements in terms of climate, soil composition and altitude. Already a century before Bordeaux, he introduced a kind of protected designation of origin.

João comes from an old port wine dynasty that settled in the town of Porto.

The wonderful world of wine
France: Bordeaux, vineyards on the waterfront

The wine-growing region of Bordeaux, with its vineyard borders drawn as if with a ruler, produces the most famous and expensive wines in the world. Hundreds of vineyards, here called châteaux, with their stately estates form an elegant backdrop for the grand crus that established Bordeaux's fame 300 years ago. Bordeaux is a wine-growing region of superlatives - something it was not necessarily destined to be. Because the conditions are actually anything but ideal: the humid climate and the abundance of water tend to argue against vine cultures. But over the course of time, people have gained experience that enables them to cope with the geographical and climatic vagaries of nature. The Cruse family, originally from Denmark, settled at Château Laujac two centuries ago. Vanessa and René-Philippe Duboscq are the sixth generation to run the estate in the Médoc. In order to be able to grow vines, the soil of the estate first had to be drained by means of drainage systems. The estate is located in the north of the Médoc, only five kilometres from the estuary delta and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Cité du Vin, Bordeaux's new wine museum and theme park, is all about wine.

Champagne: Treasures from chalk caves

Once occupied by Romans and Huns, torn by wars, Champagne is now home to a sparkling wine synonymous with absolute luxury. The vineyards of France's northernmost wine-growing region enjoy world renown and provide the grapes for the famous Champagne. They grow in the Marne Valley, on the flanks of the Montagne de Reims, on the Côte des Blancs or in Les Riceys. For centuries, farmers have used the best land for growing grapes.
Seen from the air, the area looks like a peaceful sea of vines - but its true secret is hidden underground: Reims is undercut by a 300-kilometre-long labyrinth of tunnels. Originally it was used to mine chalk rock, a sought-after building material. Then the tunnels were misused as cellars by the big champagne houses. Over a billion bottles are stored in the dim vaults. In the village of Vandières, about 30 kilometres southwest of Reims, the Legrand family is the fourth generation to grow wine. Thibault Legrand recently took over the business from his father Patrice, a passionate winemaker who is also enthusiastic about the geological history of Champagne's development. Continuing an old tradition, he is expanding the underground galleries piece by piece, some of which date back to Roman times and the Middle Ages. The documentary takes a journey through time into the history of Champagne and explains what makes the still wine so fine bubbles.

Patrice Legrand discovered an exceptionally large deposit of fossils in Fleury-la-Riviere 20 years ago - his most spectacular find is this fossil of a vine, which is over 60 million years old.

South Africa - The Wine of Good Hope

In the South African province of Western Cape lies the largest wine-growing region on the entire African continent. With the help of traditional cultivation methods, winegrowing is mastered here despite summery high temperatures. But the wine industry is on the verge of upheaval because it is historically based on the systematic oppression of the indigenous population during colonial times - and its consequences are still being felt.
Even twenty years after the end of apartheid, the ownership situation has not changed much, and 93 percent of the total land area belongs to the white minority. There is still only hot discussion about agrarian reform and an accompanying appropriate redistribution. In the wine world, Sheila Hlanjwa is therefore an absolute exception: she comes from Langa, the oldest township in Cape Town, and is the first black woman to graduate in oenology. Sheila dreams of one day running her own wine estate in the middle of her neighbourhood and passing on her knowledge. The entire wine industry in South Africa is facing great challenges. But restructuring will only succeed if more social and fairer conditions are created.

What Argentina is like
Mendoza

Argentina is one of the world's largest wine-producing countries. Wine grows mainly on the eastern slopes of the Argentine Andes. Malbec, originally from France, has gained an excellent reputation and the wineries located there regularly receive the highest awards. Actually, the region around Mendoza is almost a desert. But the soils are ideal for growing grapes and there is plenty of sun. The Incas already recognised the potential and laid irrigation channels. Building on this, the winegrowers of the region created an ingenious canal system with the meltwater from the Andes. Although only about four percent of the land can be irrigated in this way, it is enough for viticulture and also to make the desert city of Mendoza habitable.
Of course, the region also cultivates the art of cooking: in the midst of the vineyards lies the "Siete Fuegos", the only restaurant in the country that combines all seven different fireplaces on which Argentines prepare their meat. Not far away, Argentina's number one chef cooks at harvest time: Germán Martitegui. Like no other, he mixes the cuisine of the immigrants with the traditions and products of the region. In his open-air restaurant directly in a winery, he creates small works of art from this symbiosis.
The highlight of the year in Mendoza is the Fiesta Nacional de la Vendimia, the wine festival at the end of the harvest in March. It looks a bit like carnival when the newly crowned wine princesses of Argentina are driven through the city on large floats and compete for the title of wine queen.

Germany - The Vineyards of the Rhine Valley

A true fairytale landscape stretches along the Rhine between Bingen and Koblenz: castles and palaces alternate with densely planted rows of vines that balance on steeply sloping hillsides above the river. But hardly anyone is aware that this picturesque scenery has to be cultivated by people. With slopes of over 50 degrees in some places, it is by no means easy for the winegrowers. But for over a thousand years, the Rhine Valley has been a sought-after wine-growing region, because it is said that the sun's rays reflected on the river favour the ripening of the grapes.
But for a few years now, winegrowers in the Rhine Valley have also been feeling the effects of climate change and fear for their future. Previously, the significantly higher temperatures were rather welcome, but now long periods of drought are worrying the winegrowers: these could endanger Riesling cultivation in the region in the long term. Science should ensure that the special white wine can continue to be grown in the region in the future: At the University of Geisenheim, an open-air laboratory unique in the world has been set up with 29 different grape varieties, where professors and students are now simulating the climate change of the next 50 years and researching how Riesling can be made future-proof. Will they succeed in preserving the Rhine Valley's wine with its strong character for the future?

Georgia - On the trail of the first vineyards

The vineyards of this world combine the expertise of hard-working winegrowers with the mysterious forces of nature. Whether located by water, sheltered by high mountains or on the edge of a desert, wineries illustrate the diversity of this special kind of agriculture. It is said that viticulture began in Georgia more than 6,000 years ago. As early as ancient times, grape juice was pressed in the region and put into so-called qvevris, which were buried in the ground for fermentation. After the end of Soviet mass production, this tradition has been revived. In Georgia, people don't ask, "How are you?" but, "How are your vines?" In Kakheti, eastern Georgia, each family owns a vineyard and makes its own wine to share with others. Georgians are justifiably proud of their cultural heritage - and even think that making a qvevri is more complicated than building a house.

In the middle of the Pacific, a belt of islands rises from the waves. It belongs to French Polynesia, more precisely to the Tuamotu Archipelago, 350 kilometres off Tahiti.

Together with the young oenologist Sébastien Thépenier and a team of enthusiastic local helpers, he has been able to realise his somewhat crazy dream. At the beginning of the 20th century, missionaries had already tried to grow vines - for their Mass wine. But they had no luck.
