Winemakers protect themselves against the hail with soil generators at the Eger Wine Region

The Mountain Village Council of the Eger Wine Region (EBHT) installed soil generators in early May to protect the vineyards against hail – the Chairman of the EBHT told MTI.

Pál Sándor, Chairman of the EBHT told that the 18 machines cost a total of 18 million HUF. The Mountain Village Council of the Eger Wine Region (EBHT) funded the project, together with the mountain villages. The operation of the system cost 3000-5000 HUF per hectare per year, which is an insignificant part of the total cost of Viticulture – he added. (MTI)
