Les vendanges

Few people who drink wine, and almost none of those who do not, know how wine is made except in a general sort of way. This film shows the vineyards on the sunny slopes of the hills of Southern France. The peasants are gathering great bunches of purple grapes and putting them in big wicker baskets, in which they are carried on long sticks to the pressing room. Here they are thrown into a big wine press, a circular affair, made up of sections through which the juice of the grapes may run as they are being pressed out. The blood red juice is shown trickling from the press into a large vat, in which it is kept until it begins to ferment, when it is poured into large casks and sealed to wait the proper time when it is sampled by an expert who can tell with a single taste whether the wine is of proper quality to be put upon the market. The last scene shows the sampler at work, and it is evident that he enjoys his job.
