German term or phrase: Schlepperverfahren
From an interview with a wine retailer.

"Ein Winzer muss so vieles beherrschen:
Von der Glasbeschaffung über *Schlepperfahren* bis zur Verkostung..."

I have not heard this term before.

Who can provide an explanation/translation? Thank you.

Explanation:
Would seem to be an obvious suggestion, assuming that the word is Schlepperfahren and not Schlepperverfahren - no doubt referring to those special machines (is there a name for them?) that straddle the rows of vines.

agree  Thomas Pfann: Sei es beim Arbeiten im Weinberg oder auch bei „Schlepperfahrten“ für Besucher. Falls im weiteren Kontext nicht mehr darauf eingegangen wird, dürfte es aber egal sein, was genau gemeint ist – geht ja nur um Beispiele für die verschied. Aufgaben d. Winzers

agree  Clive Phillips: Schlepper fahren. Yes. High degree of skill required in steep sloping vineyards.

Reference: Schlepperverfahren ODER Schleppverfahren? (oder ein MISPRINT) ?

Reference information:
Schleppverfahren und SChlepperverfahren
Da gibt es wohl keine mit dem Essen/ Trinken verbundenen Konnotationen. Ich mag mich irren.....
Vergleichen Sie:
https://www.google.pl/#q=Schleppverfahren Essen

ODER:
https://www.google.pl/#q=Schlepperverfahren Essen

Schlepper/ Schleppverfahren haben mAn (meiner Ansicht nach) nix zu tun mit dem Trinken/ Lebensmittelindustrie etc.; es sei Weinindustrie oder Verkostung oder sonst etwas.
