Little action videos of grape harvesters.

Hello (Désolé en français). Baqio nous a bien rendu service. Mais là on lance l'œnotourisme, on a besoin d'un deuxième utilisateur et d'une connexion à notre boutique en ligne et une fois qu'on reconstruit le vrai tarif avec tous les modules, l'écart avec d'autres solutions devient beaucoup moins évident. Sans compter qu'il n'y a pas de téléphone pour le support, ce qui commence à poser problème. Quelles alternatives pour un domaine viticole en croissance ?

This questions is mainly for all those in the EU but happy to get anyone’s input. So I follow the Poussard Method of pruning. Have done for nearly 10 seasons now, finally decided to go independent and contract myself out this winter, but costs I am looking at charging on average €0.26 per vine about €1200, depending on planting density for cuts only, no riping out or tying down. How realistic am I to be able to get away Charing that?

First off, my apologies for lack of photographic evidence. Ive been trying to find...shall we say the right rhythm for cane pruning my baco noir vines. On one of my vines, I pruned everything off, back to the head of the trunk. I let a few shoots grow out of it to curb how vigorous this vine is. They started to grow well and just stopped. Then, one of the shoots shriveled. Id say it took 3 weeks start to finish, and then the other shoots did the same thing. What do you think caused this? Im thinking its probably just eutypa die back but ive never seen anything id call eutypa.

Hi all,

I am looking to relocate approx 90x 45 yo vines. They were Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon.

Both the climates are similar.

Question to the forum -
- should I?
- if Yes, what considerations should I make?
- if No, why?

So harvest is coming to an end even in my area which is central Germany. Here it was a great year. 40°C in Summer with just enough water for medium yields and astounding qualities.

I have taken my camera with me this year and took so many shots 😅

The pictures are:

1: Cabernet Cortis

1. Souvignier Gris

2. Helios

3. Sauvignac

All piwi varieties with No or minimal fungicide Treatment.

How was your year? Interested to hear how it was in different parts of Europe. I have Seen Pictures of drought as Well as hail storms and flood.

Pozdrav. Zanima me kako izgleda pravo kupinovo vino? Susjed ga je daaavno pravio i sjecam se da je bilo jako tamno i gusto, slatko, pitko. Zadnjih godina koje god da sam kupila bilo je svijelo poput rose-a, kiselkasno, razvodnjeno. Ne znam vise sto je pravo kupinovo vino. Ako se tko razumije i da zeli objasniti bila bih mu zahvalna.

I‘m getting grapes from a local vineyard in the Northeast USA. This year has been terrible and the Cab Franc is sitting around 19 Brix and 2.9-3.0 pH as of Monday. Think there’s a chance that can come up any amount with this weather by Saturday? I have the option to wait another week, but idk what the weather the next week will be, nor how they’ll deal with the rain. I like to aim for 3.4 pH at crush

What is your opinion about unsprayed Vineyards ? In South Australia, there are no rules and regulations about abandoned Vineyard.

Hello, I read the pinned post on grape ID questions and I'm not looking for a specific varietal name, just a general idea of what these grapes are best used for, thanks in advance!

I recently moved into a new house on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada which has a mature grape vine. The previous owners seemed to have an Italian or Mediterranean theme going on based on some decor and there is also an Italian plum tree.

I'm wondering are these are more likely table grapes or wine grapes? They have seeds but they are now pretty sweet and juicy so they are nice to eat. If they are table grapes, is it still possible to make wine from them? If not, what else could I do with more grapes than I can eat?

Cheers!

Anyone have any good remedies/solutions for grapevine crown gall?

I've used Gallex in the past and that worked great, but it is no longer on the market. I don't plan on doing this, but I have heard from some older grape growers that brushing diesel fuel on the gall is what they used to do back in the day....

i have been running in circles online trying to figure out which one to plant! which leaves have the best use for stuffing and will grow well in usda zone 8?

edit: sorry, i know it's not about wine but this sub was recommended to me to ask!

Harvest always seems to find a way to test capacity—no matter how well you plan.

Between timing bottling runs, fermentation peaks, and holding wine longer than expected, even well-equipped wineries can get squeezed on space.

We’ve been talking with a few producers in Sonoma, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valley who are navigating exactly that right now.

Curious—how is everyone managing tank and storage capacity this season?
And is anyone finding themselves a little tighter on space than expected?

Happy to connect if it’s helpful to compare options or share what we’re seeing locally. Preston Smith 707-480-6861

Old grapevine in Bratislava, Slovakia – Esca, leafroll, nutrient deficiency, or something else?

All shoots appear affected. Older leaves develop interveinal reddish/brown areas and eventually dry out, including very pale/white dry margins. Younger leaves are diffusely mottled; some show a somewhat tiger-striped pattern, others do not. Leaves are not noticeably rolled and living tissue is not brittle. Grapes did ripen, but many berries shrivelled without visible mold. Looking for help distinguishing grapevine trunk disease/Esca, leafroll, nutrient deficiency or other causes.

The summer was very dry but it has been watered moderately.

Flavescence dorée is present in the region, but i dont think the symptoms match well.

I'm researching the tools small wineries use to run their club, tasting room and online store, and I'd love to hear from people who use them every day.

What's the one thing that wastes the most of your time? Is it re-entering the same info in two systems, pulling numbers together for TTB, dealing with club shipment problems, or something else entirely?

If you switched platforms recently, what made you finally do it, and was it as painful as you expected?

Thanks

I have a micro vineyard of sorts that can only use organic sprays. I was suggested to use Oxidate 2.0, but it’s expensive and difficult to get. I see ZeroTol seems to be a similar product with lower concentrations of the active ingredients. Does anyone with experience or knowledge want to say if ZeroTol would be useful as a fungicide?

Im in the north east of the US and am often fighting downy mildew. I use copper sparingly and otherwise use Neem oil or Arber fungicide. I was told Oxidate is used to kill the spore on contact and am wondering how affective ZeroTol might be for that. The info I’ve found online isn’r consistent enough that I trust it. Thanks!
