Yesterday, the decades-long fight to prevent the building of a giant motorway and bridge across Germany's Mosel region came to an end when the Green party reversed their position and approved the construction.
Not only is the bridge and motorway sure to detract from the beauty of the region, it could also damage wine production. The Mosel is known for producing some of the best Riesling wines in the world. Many wine professionals, including renowned critics, spoke out against the bridge for fear that it will cause irreparable damage to the environment and risk the precious grapes.
