Episode description

There is an old method of preparing grapes for wine that once came under scrutiny. This method involves purposely withholding water from the vine so that it looks almost dead. The question was presented: does this method still produce the best wine, or has modern technology surpassed it? The answer came through the wine. Those vines subject to torture, pushed their roots deep into the ground, to the source, producing a richer and fuller fruit.
