Decanted / Wine Trails of Austria

Wine is history and the embodiment of culture and touches on chemistry, physics, biology, economics and philosophy, too. This 12-part television documentary, «Decanted», tells the story of Austrian wine, and shows that wine is far more than the usual pretty pictures of winemakers at sunset looking reflectively into their refractometers - often the only technical device that we allow them! Wine also has a commercial side. The documentary illuminates a range of aspects from the role of marketing to the wine competitions, as well as looking at the fascinating way in which wine is so closely interlinked with tourism and the local culinary art.
