As a wine enthusiast I realize this a bit wacky, anyway.. Hydroponic wine. Image taking rocks and stones from Chateauneuf du Pape and taking a clone and growing these grapes hyrdoponically. Surely people can remember 02’ rains in Southern France that ruined the outcome of the wine for that year.
With a strict and controlled environment possibly great CONSISTENT wine could be produced. I realize that it would be nearly impossible to copy the terroir of a region with the soils, winds, mountains temp. drops, Etc.. With a lot of controlled experiments just maybe a decent wine could be produced in a lab setting Hydroponically

To my knowlege grapes need a strong root stock to thrive. I don't know if this would be in the capabilities of hydroponics to produce a 30 year old stock. |

If they need a strong root stock, why not
just protect the crop better? |

twich, most do try to protect thier crop as best they can. I highly doubt there is a wine producer out there who dosent make an effort to protect his/her assets. |
