In Austria we grafted Zweigelt to Pinot Noir at the Feldtheorie Winery and Grüner Veltliner to Chenin Blanc for my winery (Kapitel Zwei Wine) . Prior to the grafting we have to brush off the old bark on a 10cm area to prepare for the cutting. It’s hard work in 30C heat. We will graft about 400 of each and while we don’t have a harvest this year, next year it should be normal harvest. In the video you can see the grafting of the bud on the existing 30 year old vine.

If you are curious to see how quickly a grapevine grows this will give you a little insight. The variety is Chenin Blanc. 3 years old, growing in Austria. It's a stand-alone vine that didn't fit in the row, so I am training it in the Mosel Heart technique where you take 2-3 canes and bind them on the stake in downward loops.

Servus, I was curious to see if the KlimaTicket is worth the 1400 EUR after 1 year, so I created a simple app to keep track of my ÖBB trips and u-bahn tickets. Maybe it is also useful for you? Send me a Reddit chat message with your email address and I will add you to the TestFlight. Only available for iOS. And full disclosure, I am a a wine grower, not an app developer, so feel free to give suggestions for the app, but this is just something I created with Claude to help me with my expenses. I may or may not make updates.
