Wine of the future
Leon Millot, LaBelle & Mindon: modern vines for modern wines. You can see the flower clusters already conspicuous on the Leon Millot.

The wine industry has layers to it. While bottling season is in the offing, we also have cuttings beginning to take root. It's possible to have these grow outside, in a garden bed, but I think I get more survivors by starting them inside in a bucket of water, then moving them out once I see roots forming. The constant availability of water seems to help avoid many deaths. That said, it is very standard to just put cuttings in a nursery bed. Many will do fine and it's very low effort.
