Little Tips for Vines and Grapes

The Right Ripeness

In the "ripeness check", the rating "good" is often given too quickly. Even if the berry tastes sweet when tasted, wait another 10 days before harvesting. Only then is the grape truly ripe.

Repelling Wasps

When wasps try to steal the harvest, chasing them away, spraying, dusting, or hanging bottles with bait juice won’t help. Only gauze bags, cut to allow room for growth and tied to the grape stem, can save the harvest. The grapes will remain perfectly beautiful (plastic bags are completely unsuitable).

Decorative Autumn Leaves

If you want decorative red autumn foliage, you should know that only blue grape varieties develop it.
