Eco-Innovations for Sustainable Wine Production

This project explores eco-innovations in the wine industry to enable circular economy models, focusing on producing unripe grape extract within wineries using existing infrastructure. The initiative aims to replace traditional sulfite use with natural antioxidants, meeting rising demand for healthier, sustainable, and sulfite-free wines. Market analysis shows consumers are willing to pay a premium for such products, and for certain foreign markets, sulfite-free production is now an essential requirement. The solution enhances product value and market access while leveraging current resources efficiently.
