starting with his hometown you know i couldn't agree more with this gent on this issue these kids' beauty pageants not only put a ton of pressure on children to achieve something absolutely pointless but they're also a pedophile's dream come true and are well very very creepy but why are they creepy that's because with the like are not human beauty is related to sex so when you try to make children beautiful and wear bathing suits let's just say active poses yet that's called sex lies and children and it's disgusting although adult beauty pageants are also sort of stupid at least the participants are all adults so i say that because beauty pageants are obviously related to sexuality should be able to participate in them until you reach the age of consent in your country otherwise it is just a pedophile buffet but that's just my opinion. the

black sea coast is one of russia's top tourist destinations sung see and the best one in the country has to offer but if those weren't good enough reasons on their own to come here there's also a little mystery but i want to get to the bottom of. my long ago that there was a man named brown who's come to russia's black sea coast to grow grapes and make wine he might not have been my ancestor. the namesake in the region seen in the
5:31 am
past act excuse for a visit i turned up one bottle of the family wine if there was another one i was going to find it and if i had to have a few of the local villages along the way that was a sacrifice i was willing to make. this is a venerable institution in russia's wine industry the miss haka has been running almost continuously for nearly one hundred and fifty years and culture. is in charge of making sure it's still one of the country's top. nice to me. can you tell us all about you know well this is one of the first places in the region and in russia was a hole to the crimea of course when the first video it was set up. to miss halcombe been you know it's a joint almost mediterranean climate protected by mountains close to the sea and
5:32 am
with winds that blow in from the step to keep the temperature balanced it's been a recipe for great great for over one hundred fifty years and some of the workers have seen quite a few vintages come and go. how long have you worked here what about. the future i've been working here since one thousand nine hundred eighty five when i first came to the vineyard. and i still work here. i really like this job so i've never worked in any other place i began after finishing seventh grade i got married here to. this is definitely a job that inspires loyalty grandma zhenya isn't the only person who returns for the harvest year after year but there's always room for new workers. the way the human style with this one ok listen james you have to pay attention to the
5:33 am
following you don't have small branches like this one we don't need the small ones just the big ones don't touch the little ones otherwise the one will be poor quality. carefully does it grasp it with your hand and cut it off like that but the great because job doesn't end when his bucket is full. james i'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the great gathering involves not just gathering but you also have to put the grapes into this container very carefully and sort through them see there's a leaf there ok they have to be taken in. each of these crates weighs between two hundred fifty and three hundred kilos so getting them to the factory takes some good team work. grapes. time to load it up factory.
5:35 am
is a lot more than just rows of dusty bottles it's actually the best stuff in the winery the ground that's been sitting here for at least a year to develop its flavor much of which it gets from these these wonderful huge heavy oak barrels. which give all the different notes and flavors to the wine and parrot me if you pressure it here long enough yet to hear the occasional.
5:36 am
we met where grapes were ripening your kiss was sweeps like red one. knew the mood to be. the. last for ever. most wine companies in the crescent all reason might be trying to up production but there are some that still think that small is beautiful i'm off to meet the king of russia's so-called garridge wines and i've heard that this is some pretty high
5:37 am
level home brew. you know your pattern is the man behind me gloria. he used to be an important exporter of wine and he's visited vineyards all over the world but seeing other people cultivate their own brands wasn't enough he wanted his own. two thousand and five we bought a cross of learned and in two thousand and six planted the first great plains which brought their first harvest in two thousand and nine. in two thousand and ten we took second place at the new zealand one competition from the industry developed rapidly the wine was in high demand among our guests and we doubled the size of the harvest in about. fourteen picked as an area we mostly grow companies so when you're. in a little malone a little. bit
5:38 am
early how many containers other three taken of the three and be done with. the most coming and will stop processing ok. garridge wine quality is everything and he has to micromanage the process everything is handmade from beginning to end strictly this is a home brew but can anyone actually do it well if you've got the right fruit anything's possible. and these plastic bins where my beautiful grapes end up. this is where the fermentation process takes place as you can see it's all completely low tech but the grapes sit here for several weeks and. really come along and give them a good stir four or five times a day. so once the grapes become it's
5:39 am
a sign that they're ready to be pressed so now the worst happens we can get the first crest of the one going in here. probably it's best not to wear white when doing this to be honest. is completely. traditional method. so all beautiful to use here. is through this hose and into. you. get to in time this. great big steel container and it sits here for about three weeks and it's ready for the next stage of the push. in the right barrel is all important in the wine making process because if you have good quality oak it lets the wine and imparts all sorts of interesting it's so.
5:40 am
new but it's going to sit in here. months. and hopefully it will turn out to be rather delicious. fermentation of red wine which we've already processed and mix is about to finish it's been fermenting for a whole two weeks now. and then we're going to fill these barrels with the very first batch. to alter the wines been sitting in its barrel for several months comes the great season is it ready to be bottles and this is all down to the one make his personal choice and i see. that's pretty good. you know we don't filter our wine if we bottle it
5:41 am
directly from the barrels. or the bottle break no we're not going to put your foot here to keep it in place. yeah that's right james brown been to twenty thirteen it's going to be invaluable in a few years that. he knows maybe this been to will be another international award winner tied to his collection. but one thing's for sure there's no brown family bottle in his cell and i was going to have to keep looking. there's a medium leave us so we leave that maybe privacy potion security for your party
5:42 am
5:43 am
5:44 am
my first interest here when they came. to my first question. what are you doing the. russian wine has been enjoying a resurgence in recent years thanks in no small part to european technology but it's not only machines that are being imported from the continent. born in the heart of france's wine country has a lifetime of experience in the business after projects all round the world he's made his way east to russia although he's found a winery with a familiar name. he's in charge of the. stock of brown which boasts its grapes of the equal of any in bordeaux and felipe is gearing up for his first harvest. from his own. little dream
5:45 am
because my. side was born in crime. and when i was young people or. every time i. rish. and after a long. and united states i disabled i decided to work in ratio and. proposition. and in one week. this job. it's just simple story. but heavy rain and strong winds are causing significant problems. with the harvest already behind show jewel sean felipe has to make sure the process
5:46 am
runs smoothly the weather hasn't been kind and he needs to check the quality of the grapes that are coming in and exactly how long it's going to take the longer the fruit stays on the vine the riper it becomes which can significantly affect the taste judging the moment of perfect rightness is one of the most crucial decisions in wine making. tell us please when are you going to finish if it doesn't start raining. into our. report on and then let's call it a day. you've
5:47 am
never heard of the brown family winery in this region have you know what. a legs a stick. of have got to find. one but you. will receive the green you see it. this is my last why. are you guilty because he just called you go. to break so. you need to distinguish. me to be. this if i can decide as a team. you. just. know who. you like. in the press.
5:48 am
when suppressed the food we start to receive and we take the juice. and we still can seduce hindu junction. but what i will get for a city mentation i. was. happy. to chozen friends and we. know some form of the film and it's. not real finnish but if you fall to test this is my first song so we'll well ok i don't want to just be just a little bit true or a. yes just.
5:49 am
so this is it. this is all to help how much time. for the moment to eighteen eighteen days and i think finish next week afterwards when the twin. g. twenty two days. you'll end up. with the. cubicle so for this to. be so i don't. it's a planned. and cross will stop. a. blended typical male one but we have a good value to christmas so we meet is value to you because you were what did you feel to you and. although bland at the russian space.
5:50 am
fate like the horizon he's supposed to tell us from each other i don't know if i'll ever see the can. i have is this last bottle we made it sound. i will keep it until. i decided i've been thinking too much in my attempts to find my bottles twin so we're going to take a trip back in time this is supposed to be home to one of the largest collections of soviet wine in the reason. maybe i'll have a bit of better luck. it seems the wine was popular if expensive throughout the soviet union by the one nine hundred seventy s. this factory alone was producing more than two million bottles see here. this isn't just the oldest wine cellar in the region it's also one of the largest each one of these tunnels is the length of almost three football fields and if you were so
5:51 am
inclined you could drink a liter of wine a day for each of these barrels and it would take seven it's finished. that a piece of. this contains eighty two thousand bottles of about two hundred fifty six of the best sorts of wines from all wine making regions of the former soviet union and here we have wines from georgia and russia mainly from dawn and this stuff are called region. but could i find a brown family bottle tucked away in this collection. even in all these thousands i still wasn't having any success. my personal quest
5:52 am
wasn't going all that well but i was getting a crash course in the history of wine in this region greek settlers brought the technology to the black sea coast more than two thousand years ago and one of the descendants is still following the traditions to this day. it is a little business buzz tell us about your technology please. difficult business. is fine. that's how we would crush bunches of grapes until recently but it hasn't been long since electric powered wine press has appeared. after of the revolution of one nine hundred seventeen people became obsessed with globalization and production growth. and drinking culture fell victim to the changes. controlling the harvest rate is important we do it as well
5:53 am
you have to set limits to the output volume if you're expanding it more and more it's easy to lose control then you'll have to use preservation agents and conservatives to put it simply it's murder they kill wine we take specially selected grapes no rotten months. we don't throw away grapes of lower quality we use them to make paths of wine and you. well i'm i'm not a fan the second bottle but there have been plenty of unexpected benefits from my
5:54 am
trip to the greek stress or even the odd excuse me of. one making is a very personal business everyone has different aims different tastes and a different clientele they're trying to reach choosing the correct moments of bottles can be the difference between success and failure and that often comes down to one man's opinion guessing you're right it seems is never a perfect science so we've been asking. you. what you think the secret. of the fact why. some regions that's my secret so good but. the more important for make good wine. make good grades for a good while you make a real good to. see that's the secret
5:55 am
after all if you have a real good gripes. in the city you can make so good why but if you don't have discrimination it's impossible. better than you have to care for your video to video grapes should be wholesome it would really. luckily the climate here is favorable you should controls of an insatiable procedures. clean the cellar and then store instead of bottles probably with just my secret with which you off the bed is nothing special about it it was. canady i do good the surname brown in this region i'm looking for a second bottle. in use but i can't answer your question well if you search hard enough you never know what you might find.
5:56 am
5:57 am
when the crisis leaves us traces everywhere. empty closed rooms become the norm. children pay for the mistakes of adults. by working in a tobacco field or in a café. they are the ones who come back home last. so his games are just in their memories. and yet is one thing that i still come to understand and i don't want to good mood but i have this one question would do it is so for you that you had everything they respect and so that you give them all up in the senate to go your way but what for . it was
