The donkey
The vinery in the winds
An ancient myth recounts how the pruning of vineyards was invented. The myth refers to a remark, by the people of Nafplio, that a vine that was eaten by a donkey the year before, produced a lot more grapes. That is how they understood that this whole process helped the vine be more efficient and started to prune them.
