Der Winzerkrieg (The war of the Winemakers)





Winemaker Franziska Habicht is proud: Two years after the death of her husband, the traditional family winery is doing fantastically. Her organic Welschriesling is "Wine of the Year", long-term contracts with international buyers are about to be concluded, her son David will continue his father's life's work and take over the management of the winery. When Franziska's neighbor, the major winemaker Josef Fink, wants to buy her vineyard for good money, Franziska can only refuse indignantly. But Josef Fink does not give up, because the cheap producer is under enormous pressure from the discounters' price dumping. Only an increase in the cultivation area can save him. Fate seems to play into Josef Fink's hands: a document from the 17th century turns up, which states that the Habicht vineyard passed into the Finks' possession as early as 1602. While Josef Fink rejoices, Franziska is angry: Where did this document come from so suddenly? Is it a forgery? She will only give up her "god's field" to the big winemaker over her dead body! The winemaker war can no longer be stopped. Franziska fights with all means - but whose side is her son David on, who is involved with Josef's daughter Marie of all people?
