Grapes are particularly troubled by the gray mold. He likes to settle on damp grapes that are in the shade. If you thoroughly uncover the vines, you ensure that they dry quickly after a rainstorm and that gray mold doesn't stand a chance. Also, removing the old leaves is better for photosynthesis, so the younger leaves can handle the growth better.
