1-2-3 rule

The individual sections of the vine have different ages. The rule is that wine comes from one-year-old wood - the young, still green shoots. This must spring from a two-year-old wood, which has grown from three- or more-year-old wood. See also under eye and water sh oots.

Voices of our members

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
