In some parts of the world, very fine wines are made from vines that grow out of the ground with no trellising, but their shoots must be thinned, too, to intensify the grapes'flavor.

"Now there were more vines to prune, more sophisticated and complex trellising techniques, more hand-suckering and leaf-pulling, " said Tom Shelton, president and chief executive of Phelps Vineyards.
33.
Note that vertical trellising systems, such as the VSP system often used in New Zealand, refer to the vertical orientation of the fruit canes in an upward manner and not the cordon " arms " of the vines.

They're not bad wines; you can thank better trellising techniques in the vineyards for that, as well as more knowledgeable use of different kinds of oak barrels or more intelligent planting of the right varietals in the right microclimates.
35.
Other parts of the vine include the tendrils which are leaf-opposed, branched in " Vitis vinifera ", and are used to support the climbing plant by twining onto surrounding structures such as branches or the trellising of a vine-training system.

Shaulis'trellising concepts " have been applied in every major grape-producing region in the world, and served as the knowledge base that allowed New World winegrowing to emerge as a major factor in international trade in the last 20 years, " said Robert Pool, who succeeded him as chief viticulturist at the experimental station.

Vine training systems utilize the practice of trellising and pruning in order to dictate and control a grape vine's canopy which will influence not only the potential yield of that year's crop but also the quality of the grapes due to the access of air and sunlight needed for the grapes to ripen fully and for preventing various grape diseases.
38.
Within these larger classifications, the vine training system may be further distinguished by the canopy such as whether it is free ( like " goblet " ) or constrained by shoot positioning along wires ( such as " VSP trellising " ) and whether it includes a single curtain ( " Guyot " ) or double ( " Lyre " ).
