In addition to his research activities, Georg Scheu was also concerned with the problems of winegrowers, which he characterised as the ″Winzernot″. The provision of healthy planting material for viticulture and the improvement of rearing and cultivation methods in Rheinhessen were among his tasks. Georg Scheu was actively involved in the organisation and establishment of vine nurseries. Later he turned to clonal selection, conservation breeding and breeding new grape varieties that would produce higher yields and better qualities. His publication ″Mein Winzerbuch″, first published in 1936, is a practical book for winegrowers that was considered a standard work for several decades.
