Irrigation in viticulture is the process of applying extra water in the cultivation of grapevines. It is considered both controversial and essential to wine production. In the physiology of the grapevine, the amount of available water affects photosynthesis and hence growth, as well as the

[5] However, this diffusion process is very difficult because the grape skin contains wax in its cuticle, which prevents the water from passing through. [5]
