The wooden stake has been used in viticulture for many centuries as a support system in the vineyard. Each individual vine is trained on a wooden stake (made of acacia, sweet chestnut, spruce, larch or fir) (single-pole training). This conventional form is still used today in many European countries, but also overseas such as California. However, the more common system is larger or higher posts, usually made of concrete, metal or plastic, with wires stretched between them, between which several vines are supported or trained. In German-speaking countries, the wooden stake is known as Stickel (Stiggel, Sticher). See also vine training (all systems) and Vineyard care (tools and activities).
