Wine photo of the week 

    The back-breaking work of pruning old vineyards in Australia's Clare Valley. This photo was taken 
in September, just before the new shoots start emerging. It's often a good idea to leave
 pruning as late as possible, as this can delay the emergence of new buds and thus reduce
 the risk of frost damage to the tender new growth.
