I know! I was very disappointed when I realised it was nearly all automated! :(

That said there is still a lot of backbreaking manual work involved. Just now the workers are out there for hours on end tying up the vines and tightening the wire supports etc.

It is a labour intensive industry isn't it?

The thing is they all live to a good old age! :yes: As my Mum would say "hard work never harmed anybody". I doubt if the Health & Safety Executive would wholely agree with her! :no:

Those machines pick the grapes off the vines??? Damn! There goes the illusion of hand-pickers picking the grapes. xxxx
