At that time, wine was viewed more as an individual. Rather, wine was compared to humans and it was believed that, like us, wine had to go through appropriate developments until it grew up. And just as we have to breathe as humans, wine has to breathe. These considerations have led to the wine being allowed to breathe from barrel to barrel by moving ( in order to initiate the next development step. This was repeated regularly and was called the ‚ training (élevage ) of the wine. In this sense, however, there is also the relationship between cellarmaster and wine, which in turn was seen in the same way as the master to his apprentice. The task of the master was to recognize the potential of the wines.
