In just fifty years, agroindustrial methods have radically changed the modes of production and cultivation of our food and drink. A half century is all that was needed to forgo 15 000 years of natural agriculture. WIne, a cultural product if any, appeared to be spared, or so we thought…Today grape vines consume 20% of phytosanitary products used in the french agricultural industry, despite only accounting for 3% of cultivated land. Flora, fauna, and biological activity important to the development of the beverage are thereby destroyed, to the extent that it endangers the wellbeing of the men and women who work to make it. But in the vineyards there is a code of silence.

This documentary works to demonstrate that another, more friendly, viticulture is possible as an alternative to the troubling industry driven one. "Vino Veritas" gives a voice to the new winemakers, who consider nature as a fundamental part of the creation of a quality, living wine.

Whether they be organic, natural or biodynamic winemakers, these professionals turned essayists demonstrate that another way, without the use of chemistry, is possible. They come together to unite and offer up their new methods to one another: the movement is global. This documentary is a European voyage into the world of wine, shaped like a road movie through the grape vines of Europe, taking place in the four big wine producing countries: France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland.

To make wine differently, farming on a human scale, whilst respecting man and the environment, this is the new path of viticulture in the 21st century. There is an alternative to poisonous agriculture, with the common objective of, something the conventional channels seem to have forgotten: finding the taste!
