w's crime fighters are back quite a bit africa's most successful radio drama series continues print only busloads are available online at a course you can share and discuss on t.w. africa's facebook page and other social media platforms crime fighters tune in now . ah the friendship of the vine and work of human hands one has been part of our culture for thousands of years and it's an important symbol for christians. to wine is an expression of human culture that can represent god's closeness to us humans and his total identification with us. the cathedral city of tria

probably more than anywhere else in germany here one can see the close connection between catholicism and why the independent diocese and vineyards produced some wine specifically feasts in the mass. is what it was there for the hunger but there it involves a lot of manual work and requires a lot of dedication for one of the leading wine producers in the mosul region it's important to us to continue the tradition of wine growing and nurture this cultural property it's our heritage commissioners. what's the origin of the close connection between the catholic church and why. what makes the great so important in the history of christianity. the story of the great there is a thread running through the whole of biblical history beginning with no up in the

book of genesis the builder of the ark is named as the 1st farmer to plant a vineyard his story culminates in she says the catholics believe is truly present in the eucharist wine. wine and grapes the vine everything to do with wine making are mentioned more than 600 times in the old testament you sense that something very important. wine influenced the lives of ordinary people in the bible it was part of everyday life inseparable from jewish and christian culture. jacob brought it to him and he ate and he brought some wine and he drank genesis 27 verse 25. in there since wine is associated with social life it's with eating and drinking together it's also connected with human relationships and i'm sure but seal the. i am the vine and you are the branches if you remain in me and i and

you you will bear much fruit john 15 verse 5 even today the grape is a symbol of fertility and of a country's prosperity but to believe is wine is also a visible and symbolic expression of god's blessings. and i don't know any other plant or any other cultural property that is such a powerful metaphor of the tougher go paul. on the slopes of the river mosel the heart of germany's oldest wine region the connection between church and wine is tangible even today the history of tree cathedral has always been linked to wine growing. historical documents show that members of the archdiocese used to be released from their religious jews his jury in the great harvest and the medieval tradition of

parishes and monasteries producing wind is still alive and well today. the vineyards belonging to the tree archdiocese are among the most admired in germany in fact they set the benchmark for the entire mosul region. these vineyards stretch over a 130 hectic is an area almost 3 times the size of phatic and city but they haven't always been this speak in 19663 large estates each of them centuries old were amalgamated. archbishops vineyard the vineyard of the diocesan seminary and the cathedral vineyard. most of the diocese and vines are planted on the steep slopes of the nose of

adelaide they include world famous simplicity just here walk like the cunts in modern veg. it's spring and they're loosening up the soil traditional techniques sustainability and respect for the environment a cool values here. in your title as much of the work is exhausting especially in hot weather because a lot of the work is done by hand. there are many plots which attract contacts us there we have to do everything but. traditional techniques are also used in the enormous selous with the winds are aged in barrels. spread out over some 30000 square meters underneath the city center the cellars house wines from the slopes of the moon the river and the somme. each cell is the size of 4 soccer fields no wonder your highness spec it uses

a bicycle the lanes extent of a kilometer since becca is lord of this wind that brings he's been chief winemaker since 987. i mean i've been bracing around these lanes for the past 42 years i know these cellars better than my own home. games of so unlike many modern wineries we use traditional wooden barrels and we use the same techniques that were used 500 years ago we don't interfere with the wind. using whatever here for instance you see a barrel made in 1966 which was. when we filled this one with the peano blank from which will later make a criminal style sparkling one of. his own into a criminal needs to mature in an old barrel so it doesn't take on the oak flavors fasold of only when

a barrel is really old and has been primed as the wind relatively unaffected by the woods. who is to question i now here is one of the oldest barrels we have as you know and. we don't know if it was cooper to 958 or 10 years from partitions that makes it over 60 years old which is about the life expectancy of this kind of barrel as old fossil. it's not just the barrels that are old in another part of the cellar there a water pipe station back to roman times the 2nd century a.d. . so here home the entire from here we have an example of roman plumbing discovered by my predecessors in the 1960 s. when they were excavating the cellars skilless as if they don't give us a lot of the pipes lead down to the tree or imperial. the romans built a large complex of thermal bads about 500 meters from here the old city of tree or or parts of it are virtually under our feet here the romans also brought wind to

the mosul region could be seen roman wine presses have been found all the way down the mosel valley providing evidence of a wine growing tradition and so i go with you that cited. the cell as a full of myths and legends like something out of a harry potter movie. since i know form this is one of the 7 treasure chambers in our old cellar vaults. until the 1950 s. there was a tasting room for clients. after swirling the wine around in their mouths they spat it out into this sandstone drains we don't use. the cell isn't use for wine tasting anymore. instead it houses some intellectual treasures

the archbishop's very finest can teach racing's. sort of home the and here we have our iler coop for the superb wine from 2011 because it's a fruity riesling the venom fied with residual sugar it has lots of fruit flavors and a wonderful spiciness ilo coop is simply a great wine for one of mine. the wine takes its name from the hill on which the vineyard was located on the famous mostly southwest face. in slope. the vineyard juts out into the sun has reflected this specific environment gives candidates the grapes it produces. here where i live cope has a slate bedrock which is important because it stores the heat by day and radiates the warthe back to the vines at night that gives our wine

a wonderful aroma. along with its epicurean qualities wine has played a different role in history one than today we're surprised that so much wine in beer was drunk in monasteries it probably has to do with the fact that water was so dangerous like a fairly today we know this was because of bacteria and. also in the ancient world clean drinking water was a rare commodity beer and wine diluted with water were there for common beverages. the bible even attributes healing properties to wine. for instance in the book of proverbs we read. let beer be for those who are perishing wine for those who are in anguish proverbs 31 verse 6. in this white wine became an important cultural tradition which the archbishop's of

tria foster to this day though their motives are of course different. some are in the diocesan vineyards is a busy time fish death and more and he's the wine estate manager responsible for all the workers in these unions. my is showing in the in the in the growth period we have a lot to do our vendor it's a stretch from the mosul to the sar as far as wilting and this and these are war and the weather is always a major concern it's our biggest worry for the weather does whatever it wants but we can't influence that by those. who want to purchase in

march late for us in april droughts in july it hasn't rained for weeks even as work is at the mercy if extremes weather and wind growing are often a stress test. yard in america through and you can see we need some rain soon on the other hand vines have very deep roots everything's ok for the moment or we must watch what happens in the course of the year but right now we'd be glad of a little rain in. conditions that modern wind grows consider a stream or part of the course in anxious times the. she a graphical location of the holy lands produced a climate of hot summers and perennial drought various plagues also annihilated harvests. the vine is dried out and the fig tree is wither surely the people's joy is withered away one in verse 12. but not everything is

left to chance in july the leaves are pooled in the tree of diocesan vineyards careful pruning is important for the vine that way it gets more sunlight. the diocese and vineyards are brown as a business so they have to make a profit and produce good returns. they have an angle is an all tended wine growing pizza place that the business is very different to what it used to be 100 years ago the. 100 or. die are seen vineyards are run entirely by professionals now but look the other good side. are you in the days when parishes in this region have their own

vineyards to make wine for the masses but also to provide revenue are long gone for we will. today that 3 year diocese and been years is an independent private enterprise a registered company employing $33.00 workers. but . with a more a morning on our alone. it looks as though 2018 is going to be a good vintage are going towards laws i think so so a bit like the acid level stable of you are stable the only negative thing is straw . damage and some scalding which means we'll have a much smaller harvest and. these binion's produce some 620000 bottles of wine each year their oldest and most traditional customer if not the biggest is the catholic church.

one man in particular personifies the link between tree a cathedral and wine growing assistant be shipped franz yosef that he even has a grape in his coat of alms founds gave it was born into a family of local one grows and is a trained wine koopa. as a theologian he's also very aware if the religious significance of wine. to follow the celebration of the eucharist is the source and climax of all ecclesiastical life without the eucharist there would be no church and without wine or no eucharist and so there's an essential link between wine and the church the sense of

yard to be stylish you are indeed holy all or intervallic or for can all you have created rightly gives you praise for through your son our lord jesus christ in our car by the power and working of the holy spirit you give life to all things and make them holy and you never cease to gather a people to yourself and for some it's stein i'm not sure that from the rising of the sun to it set it up your sacrifice may be offered to your name or god and i will therefore our lord we humbly implore you by the same spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have brought you for consecration sooners that they may become the body and blood of your son our lord jesus christ jesus at whose command we celebrate these mysteries been there on the night he was betrayed and he himself took bread ahmet us and giving you thanks he said the blessing broke the bread and gave it to his disciples saying name it take this all of you and eat of it for this

is my body which will be given up for you. even when i'm in a similar way when supper was ended he took the challenge and giving you thanks he said the blessing and gave the chalice to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it for this is the chalice of my blood the blood of the new and eternal covenant which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins you do this in memory of nations. the catholic church teaches that christ is truly present in the consecrated great and wine. and reciting the sacrificial prayer we believe that it up that's what it says that's to say a change of substance occurs without the outward characteristic bread and wine

changes. of course that's an act of faith but it's the basis of every man. so wine is crucially important and the sacraments matter becomes a vessel of divine salvation. and to waters the baptism of. wine and bread in the eucharist. this isn't magic it's the working of god and his spirit but it's not just words not just ideas. but we need matter that we can't touch that we can eat and drink clean water and which we're submerged is. still very very. hard when return we're doing jesus until the 16th century catholics mostly used red wine for the mass the color was considered especially appropriate to symbolize in the blood of christ bought it was gradually supplanted

by white wines to. practical reasons most of the wind north of the alps was white and red wine could stain the old linens. however bishop gave it has his own theory. is governed a bit in the middle ages there were many stories of miracles where blood dripped from the consecrated bread and i assume that white wine was introduced because one didn't want to strong association with blood like the fruit of the. motive of the race and the church has never regulated the color of mass wine only that it must be pure and unadulterated. it has to be choose from pressed graves that's been fermenting you can't use any artificial substances you have to. the. laws governing the production of wine in germany forbid the use of additives anyway this means that at least in theory priests in germany can buy wine for the

mass at the local supermarket the bishop gave it wouldn't dream of doing such a thing he personally selects the wine for masses celebrated in tree cathedral and of course it all comes from the dial sassoon vineyards. 6 once a year and he meets up with irv an angle for a wine tasting. more of the blah 1st masses at 7 in the morning or so we have to select a fairly light winds and force moved across parts of heaven angle can't say exactly how much mass wine is consumed in the tree of diocese each year but it's no longer absolutely necessary for the cathedral to be producing its own wine the diocese is

not dependent on it financially. that's a 3 an honor for me as with families there are certain things that one errands and one does them out of respect for the past year the church is marduk society it's embedded in a particular lancer gave this so we can serve the regions cultural values it is to a pray go into and i'm already here on the most all wine has been produced since roman times and i going to wine called kids always been there and we don't question it does it's untrue except for spendthrift of the one culture here on the most of the room or in the sun attracts people from all over the region and thousands of tourists flock to the wine festivals each year even in biblical times wine was associated with celebrations and festivities. and that is life to

a man who is without wine it has been created to make men glad ceroc 31 verse 27. john's gospel tells us that jesus is 1st miracle was to turn rouge into wine as a wedding jesus said to the servants fill the jars with water and take it to the master of the banquet and he tasted the water that had been turned into wine john 2 verses 7 through 9. the setting sign john the baptist have often spawned why because of its alcohol content jesus on the other hand appears to have enjoyed the grape he was even labeled a. drunkard by his enemies but moderation in all things is a virtue. in the time machine or i mean us that means i want to battle fewer than the number of people resident so if you're alone none more quiet. but there'd be no

wind at all without the great parties in the tree or diocese in vineyards the harvest starts in october the long awaited rains have finally arrived the greatest must be harvested immediately all the cold and damp will make them start moldering . time is of the essence now and the work starts very early. they work up to 10 hours a day on the steep slopes carrying up to 50 kilos on their backs this is hard work . but many of the peoples return year after year they all have a special relationship to the vineyard. and.

mr some of this is not my 1st time i've been coming here for 26 years so much. clout i feel both only sniffed out i wouldn't want to change my job because i know everybody in the firm and they're going to announce he's flown home you're. going to give them. 25 tons of harvested each day and delivered to the wine press a bit of everything. just a few kilometers away here a chance hoff the grapes oppressed. the work requires sensitivity the grapes oppressed gently so that the beaches

substances are extracted more slowly the harvest is smooth and last year and the quality is very good. and i think that's because of the dry summer we had hardly any rain after below 0 temperatures in may and hail some days we had 10. it has between 40 and 45 degrees celsius it can't be helped anyway the quality of the grapes is better so we can't complain of this as our 1st the falls. there's a lot of work to be done before the wine and stuff in both of us. the harvest is the best time of year. and life dedicated to wine growing. here on the banks of the most on the roof or in the sauna this is a sense of harmony between the people and their environment the closer relationship between wine and religion is the heritage of this coltrane landscape.
