A method of growing vines trained in rows, particularly for the purposes of avoiding frost damage and promoting good fruiting, the method being of the type consisting in draping a film (8) of plastics material over each row of vines, the film being supported firstly by at least one top wire (2) situated at the tops of a row of stakes (1), and secondly by spreader elements (5, 7) for spreading the two panels of the film (8), the film being held by fasteners (9) that are secured at intervals to the bottom edges (11) thereof and that are connected to fastener members (12, 13) that are preferably situated on said stakes. Said bottom edges (11) of the film (8) are disposed substantially level with and preferably slightly beneath the lowest height at which side shoots (V) develop, leaving a wide opening between the edges (11) that enables air to circulate because the lateral portions of the film situated above the spreader elements (5, 7) are provided with orifices (14) enabling the vines inside the film to be ventilated, which film is put into place shortly before new growth starts and is left in place at least until frost is no longer a threat.
