Burgundy winemakers protect their grape harvest from spring frost with small fires. This age-old technique is crucial for maintaining healthy crops during unexpected cold snaps. These fields stretch from Auxerre to Mácon, France.

Cirò Marina, Calabria, Italy

Cirò Marina is a seaside town on the Ionian coast of Calabria. This is the wine-producing area of the region, with a tradition in wine-making that stretches back over a thousand years.

Cirò Marina is an old land, inhabited in the distant past by Greek settlers who probably arrived there between the 7th and 6th centuries BC and founded the town of Krimisa.

This Greek colony was also known because of the Temple of Apollo Aleus on the promontory of Punta Alice. The best-known finding which emerged from the archaeological excavations consists of some parts of the acrolith of Apollo Aleo, namely the head, both feet and part of the hand, today exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria.

Other important discoveries which are now preserved at the Civic Museum of Cirò Marina, are a simulacrum of Demeter and a clay figurine representing Demeter as well. The first one is a bust in terracotta, dating back to the 3rd century BC. In the second one, the goddess is depicted with a torch and a little pig. The torch symbolizes Demeter's search for her daughter Kore/Persephone, kidnapped by the God of the Underworld and down there, in the dark, searched by her desperate mother. The fire of the torch burns and purifies. Combined with the little pig, it speaks of pig sacrifices that were held on numerous ritual occasions dedicated to the goddess, as often demonstrated by the discovery of butchered bones in sanctuaries in pits, interpreted as remains of ritual meals and sacrifices to the goddess.

In Ancient Greece the sacrifice of pigs to ensure the fertility of the land was a widespread practice. During the Thesmophoria festivals (ancient Greek: Θεσμοφόρια), purely female festivals dedicated to Demeter, the slaughtered pigs were thrown into pits, then the recovered remains were scattered on the fields.
