Stapling

In the vineyard, this means lifting and fastening or tying up the shoots (summer shoots, fruiting canes) on appropriate support devices. The grapevine 's climbing ability is not sufficient to grow up the staple wires on its own. The prerequisite for wild vines was provided by larger areas (trees). This makes vineyard care, harvesting and pest control easier and also enables mechanical cultivation. The young summer shoots are arranged between the staple wires to form a slender trellis of foliage. This gives the shoots support, prevents them from falling over or breaking off and improves the air and light conditions for the grapes. This must be done in good time during wire frame training.
