winegrowers do not always find it a good thing to have all their land together. this is because the soil in one field may be slightly different from the soil in a field just farther up the road, and this gives the wine a slightly different taste. also, if all their land is on one hillside and a storm hits that hillside and ruins the crops, then they have lost everything. if they have several pieces of land in different places they are less likely to lose all their crops because of one disaster.
