clean viticulture thanks to Kaolin

A less obvious, but all the fascinating aspect that connects both the world of viticulture and the porcelain manufacturer, is the use of Kaolin. According to vinum, Kaolin is not only a valuable material in porcelain production, it also plays an important role in viticulture. Winemakers use this material for pest control and prevention against sunburn. Many winemakers use sprays, especially in difficult times, such as the problem with cherry vinegar flying, but the natural solution with Kaolin promises less taste and is more environmentally friendly.

Here is an exciting connection between two traditional crafts that have a long history in Germany. Wine cultivation has its roots about 2,000 years ago when the Romans brought the first vines into our regions and thus laid the basis for a wine tradition grown over centuries. This [history] (https://www.deutscheweine.de/weinbau/179/Geschichte) is shaped by heights and depths, influenced by climate, technology and social changes, but it never ended in invisibility.

Whether on the vine or on the potter's wheel - creativity and craftsmanship always produce new highlights that we can be proud of. Wine culture in Germany is a lively part of our identity, and even if modern viticulture faces challenges, such as the taste influences of spraying agents in Heilbronn, hope for innovative solutions such as the use of Kaolin.
