friendship of the buying and work of human hands wind 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 diocesan vineyards produced some wine specifically for use in the mass. is what it was there for the it involves a lot of manual work and requires a lot of dedication or 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 our mission of. what's the origin of the close connection between the catholic church and why. what makes the grapes so important in the history of christianity. the story of the grape is a thread running through the whole of the little history beginning with no one in the book of genesis the builder of the ark is named as the 1st farmer to plant a vineyard his story culminates in jesus who 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 it's 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 $27.00 verse $25.00 of it since wine is associated with social life with eating and drinking together it's also connected with human relationships and i'm sure but see you. i am the vine and you are the branches if you remain in me. you know that i was much of the work is exhausting especially in hot weather because a lot of the work is done by her and there are many plots which attracted contacts s. there we have to do everything but out of. 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 winds from the slopes of the 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 the prince he's been chief winemaker since 987. that embracing around these lanes for the past 42 years i know these sellers 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. here for instance you see a barrel made in 1966 and one. when we fill this one with the peano blank from which will later make a criminal style sparkling water. because only

a criminal needs to mature in an old barrel so it doesn't take on the oak flavors for sort of work and only when a barrel is really old and has been primed as the wind relatively unaffected by the woods. here is to now here is one of the oldest barrels we have as you know. but we don't know if it was cooper to 958. partitions that makes it over 60 years old which is about the life expectancy of this kind of barrel. it's not just the barrels that are old in another part of the cellar there are water pipes 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 of us and 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's why. the cell is a food of myths and legends like something out of a harry potter movie. since i know for this is one of the 7 treasure chambers in our old cellar vaults. until the 1950 s. it 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 electrical traces the archbishop's very finest been teacher a seems. sort of home to you know here we have our iler coop for the super bowl wine from 2011 because it's a fruity riesling venner fied with residual sugar it has lots of fruit flavors and a wonderful spiciness iler coupe is simply a great wine wine. the wine takes its name from the hill on which the vineyard was located on the famous mostly southwest face. in slope. the vineyard just sat and the sun has riverbed this specific environment gives candidates the grapes it produces. the only island cope has

a slate bedrock which is important because it stores the heat by day life 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 and 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 with air for common beverages. the bible even attributes healing properties to wide. 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 way one became an important cultural tradition which the archbishop's of tree of foster to this day though their motives are of course different. some are in the diocesan vineyards is a busy time for staff and more and is the wine estate manager responsible for all the workers in these vineyards. nice showing. in the growth period we have a lot to do our venue stretch from the mosul to the sar as far as well taken 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 it by those. who want to purchase in march late frost and i pull droughts in july it hasn't rained for weeks the vintner's work is at the mercy of it strains weather and wind growing are often a stress test. yard in america you can see we need some rain soon so on the other hand the vines have very deep roots everything's ok for the moment or we must watch what happens in the course of the year or right now we'd be glad of a little rain. conditions that modern wind grows consider a stream or part of the course an anxious times the geographical location of the holy lands produced a climate of hot summers and perennial trout various plagues also annihilated

harvests. the vine is dried up 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 of pooled in the tree of diagnosis in vineyards careful pruning is important for the vine that way it gets more sunlight. the diocesan vineyards are brown as a business so they have to make a profit and produce good returns. evan engle is an old one growing pizza place of the business is very different to what it used to be 100 years ago.

vineyards are run entirely by professionals now but. 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. today the tree. is an independent private enterprise a great just of company employing 33 workers. with a morning. hello. 2018 is going to be a good. laws i think so the acid level stable. and they're stable the only negative thing is damage and some scalding which means we'll have a much smaller harvest and. these finian'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 it yourself gave it even has a grape or ball in his coat of arms france gave it was born into a family of local wine growers and is a trained wine cooper. as a theologian he's also very aware if the religious significance of. the celebration of the eucharist is the source of all ecclesiastical life without the

eucharist there would be no church and without wine. so there's an essential link between. you. and all you have created rightly gives you praise for through your son our lord jesus christ and are caught by the power and working of the holy spirit give life to all things and make them holy and you never cease to people to yourself. a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name. we humbly implore you by the same spirit graciously make these gifts we have brought you for consecration. of your son our lord jesus christ. and we celebrate these mysteries in which he himself took bread and giving you thanks he said the blessing broke the

bread give it to his disciples saying. take this all of you eat of it for this is my body which will be given up for you. in a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice 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 . the catholic church teaches that christ is truly present in the consecrated bread and wine. and he's

in reciting the sacrificial prayer we believe that it affects what it says that's to say a change of substance occurs without the outward characteristics of the bread and wine changes that we can. of course that's an act of faith but it's the basis of every mass. so wine is crucially important and the sacraments matter becomes a vessel of divine salvation. and the 2 waters of 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 it's on clothes on and that's what we need matter that we can't touch that we can eat and drink called water in which we're submerged. well there are how to have our school very very house hard one preacher in the year 2 issues will straighten this goes until the 16th century

catholics mostly used red wine for the mass the color was considered especially appropriate for symbolizing the blood of christ but it was gradually supplanted by white wines for practical reasons most of the wine north of the alps was white and red wine could stay neat old linens. however bishop give it has his own theory. is governed and 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 broad policy. motive or the reason the church has never break elated the color of mass wine only that it must be pure and unadulterated. it has to be choose from pressed grapes that's been fermenting you can't use any artificial substances you have to.

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 irvin angle for a wine tasting. more of the the 1st mass is at 7 in the morning or so we have to select a fairly light winds on the 1st minute of

a fire and so have an angle can't say exactly how much mass wine is consumed in a tree a 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. doesn't appear on a from the as with families there are certain things that want to arrogance and one does them out of respect for the past. the church as mart of society it's embedded in a particular landscape so we can serve the region's cultural values if prego into and i'm already here on the most all wine has been produced since roman time and i going to one called it's always been here and we don't question it does is that untrue except for stone fish god the wine culture here on the most of the rumor and 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. 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. assessing signed john the baptist have often spoon and wine 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 latin or no mean us that means one bottle fewer than the number of people that present so if they're alone none more quiet. but there'd be no wind at all without the great partners in the tree and ios is in vineyards the harvest starts in october the long awaited rains have finally arrived the great spots be harvested immediately all the cold and damp will make them starve 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 pieces return year after year they all have

a special relationship to the vineyard. at. least some of this is not my 1st time i've been coming here for 26 years it's gone through a. lot with both i'm usually stout i wouldn't want to change my job because i know everybody in the firm and they're going to once he's flown home you're. thinking of the. 25 tons of harvested each day and delivered to the wine press. because of. just a few kilometers away here a chance hoff where the grapes oppressed. the

work require sensitivity the grapes oppressed gently so that the bitter substances are instructed more slowly the harvest is smooth and last year and the quality is very good. at least and that's because of the dries 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 as office the falls. there's a lot of work to be done before the wine in stop involves. the harvest is the best time of year. a life dedicated to wine growing. here on the banks of the most on the move or in the song this is

a sense of harmony between the people and their environment to close relationship between wine and religion is the heritage of disco drawn landscape.
