SOLUTIONS FOR WINE MAKING
Regarding winemaking, the WICA’s catalogue is proposing solutions linked to the following challenges:
Decrease energy and water consumption in the winery
Reduce use of additives in winemaking
Adapt production in response to market requests
How to reduce the use of additives?
Winemakers can choose among 15 solutions such as the use of microbiological and biological protection of musts, biological acidification techniques, specific monitoring tools to better control potential spoilage, engineering systems to better automate and monitor their process in order to take action at the right time, solutions to predict the sulfur dioxide stability during wine storage, physical processes to improve tartaric stabilization and acidification of the wines.
The 15 solutions are proposed synthetically on pages 24 to 28. To explore each solution in more detail, just click on the purple pen symbol.
