All set to net.
I'd estimate that Vinoland's Pinot grigio is about 90% through veraison. The fruit this year looks fabulous. As yet, my little feathered friends don't seem particularly interested in the fruit, nevertheless, it is time to get out the bird-netting and install it on the vines. It's not a particularly pleasant job, but it is a necessary one. After months of tending to the vines I don't feel a particular need to share the grapes with the avian population, so tomorrow the nets go on. Clothes pegs at the ready!

What a wonderful colour the grapes are, I hope the wine tastes as good.

NHW: I've seen machines/contraptions that net vineyards, and orchards, but here we do it the hard way!!!
Thud: Yes, you and Minkey did help this year.
Trubes: They are a great colour, especially seeing as they make a white wine.
No tennis involved then or even badminton
