> Carefully, the chief viticulture engineer of Iwanohara Vineyard, Japan’s oldest operating winery, inspects each of the 5,500 grape vines that make up Iwanohara’s six hectares in Kitagata, Niigata Prefecture.
> So far, Wada has found three bugs after two hours of work. The midday sun beats down, and beads of sweat pool on his neck. Iwanohara focuses on using as few pesticides as possible, an approach that means Wada is using a handmade tool to dig out any insects he finds.
Watching Drops of god on Apple TV I thought the way those wine nuts were portrayed was an exaggeration. Apparently, it wasn’t.
- sva_ 3y agoI recommend the documentary Sour Grapes https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5728684/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5728684/
- asciimike 3y agoDrops of God is fun and educational, as is Bartender (https://mangakakalot.com/read-in2uo158504890455 https://mangakakalot.com/read-in2uo158504890455). I also enjoyed Oishinbo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oishinbo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oishinbo), though admittedly the non-food part of the plot gets a bit stale/one-uppey.
