- Story Text: While most people celebrated New Year's eve on Saturday (December 31), one group of French revellers put down their wine to participate in a winter harvest of grapes.
Winegrowers and their guests in Viella, Gascony, had to pick the grapes at the Pacherenc vineyard to keep their quality.
The winter harvest is made possible by Viella's favourable climate and altitude.
The grapes were expected to produce about 6,000 bottle of white wine, which is said to taste both mellow and fresh.
Having finished their work, the grape pickers went back to their party to enjoy the fruits of previous labour.
