Tradition and family history in German viticulture

Many German wineries look back on a long family tradition. Intergenerational knowledge, regional roots, and artisanal care characterize the wines presented on Messe.TV. The wineries show how tradition can be preserved while at the same time setting new trends—whether through modern cellar technology or fresh label design.

Family-run wineries in their fifth to eighteenth generation
Combining classic craftsmanship with contemporary approaches
Conscious continuation of regional grape varieties and locations

This continuity amid change makes many wines distinctive and contributes to the diversity of the German wine landscape.

Organic cultivation and sustainable concepts

Sustainability has long since arrived in viticulture – many wineries rely on organic cultivation, refrain from using herbicides, and value closed nutrient cycles. At ProWein and in video reports on Messe.TV, organic winegrowers provide insights into their everyday lives, their motivation, and the challenges they face in organic viticulture.

The focus is not only on the end product, but on a holistic approach – from the vine to distribution.

Diversity of wine regions – terroir as a flavor characteristic

The wineries featured are spread across the most important German wine-growing regions – from the Mosel to Baden. Each region has its own special characteristics, whether in terms of soil, microclimate, or topography. Messe.TV shows how winemakers use these characteristics to produce wines with strong personalities.

Moselle: Steep-slope Rieslings with fine minerality
Rheinhessen: Calcareous soils, Burgundy expertise
Palatinate and Baden: Sun-drenched sites with aromatic richness

These regional differences are what make wine so fascinating for many consumers – and provide guidance in the diverse range on offer.

Wine and personality – portraits and conversations

Behind every wine is a person with attitude, experience, and vision. Messe.TV introduces these personalities: young career changers, tradition-conscious successors, or creative minds who are giving winegrowing new impetus. Their stories give the product a face – beyond the bottle.

Interviews with winemakers from different regions
Insights into family businesses, cooperatives, and young labels
Personal approaches to taste, grape varieties, and marketing

This proximity creates trust and illustrates how much passion goes into every glass.

Cooperatives and collaborations in transition

In addition to individual businesses, winegrowers' cooperatives are also an integral part of the German wine market. Messe.TV reports on successful models of collaborative production – from the Kaiserstuhl region to the Palatinate. Modern cooperatives focus on quality, clear branding, and transparent structures.

Traditional winegrowers' associations with a new self-image
Regional alliances to improve quality
Cooperative brand development with high market penetration

These forms of organization offer many small producers a platform and ensure the long-term survival of regional wine-growing culture.
