Digital Juice System in demonstration at DIEMME’s booth A12-C19 in hall 1
The Digital Juice System has started from the partnership between DIEMME Enologia, WINEGRID and G3 Enterprises. This technology innovation stands out on the international overview for being the first analytical device that autonomously and smartly conducts all the working cycles of the press. By using specific algorithms, IoT technology, A.I., advanced sensors and the interconnection that can be used by a wide range of devices (PC, tablet, smartphone), it is possible to optimize and monitor the different pressing cycles, making them more flexible and autonomous. The chemical/physical features of the extracted juice are analysed and processed in a cloud platform, WINEGRID Dashboard, in order to communicated with the pneumatic press in realtime and achieve the winemaking qualitative goals and desired company targets.
On the past 11-14th October, Compas, our distributor, presented WINEGRID solutions in the 12th edition of Viti Vini, in Epernay, France. This is an event focused on Champagne producers from this region and WINEGRID’s 𝗲-𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺, a product designed to monitor 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 and 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 in bottles, presents itself as a key solution in this industry.
Boathouse Vineyards is a winery and vineyard created in 2009, in Lake Leelanau, Michigan, United States of America. It produces cool-climate red and white wines.
Boathouse Vineyards has now adopted WINEGRID solutions for all of their winemaking processes in order to digitalize and improve the wine quality, aiming to become a Cellar of The Future and leading the state in premium wine production.
Our team visited a German institute that uses WINEGRID solutions. Land Schafft Bayern carries out practice-oriented research on winemaking, gardening and beekeeping fields. WINEGRID has a scientific partnership with LWG that aims to bring process digitalization to the Bavarian wine industry and to improve operational efficiency in this sector.

WINEGRID solutions at the cradle of viticulture, Georgia!
Mildiani Family Winery uses WINEGRID’s WP1100 to monitor wine fermentation in tanks remotely and in real-time in order to improve operational efficiency.
In the photo bellow you can see their amphoras (kvevri) buried in the soil. This is an ancestral winemaking method, typical from Georgia, in which the wine remains in amphoras for 6 months untouched, while fermenting. This country has more than 500 different kinds of autochtonous grape variaties.
In September WINEGRID visited Château Ad Francos, a winery in France, France, that takes place in a picturesque castle dating back to 570 AD. This winery carries out the whole vinification process in barrels and chooses to use brand new barrels.
The Château Ad Francos uses WINEGRID’s 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗕𝗣𝟭𝟬𝟭𝟭 to monitor 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 and in 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 their unique fermentation process in barrels. WINEGRID’s solution allows the oenologist to 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 during the whole process with 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆.
WINEGRID DEVELOPED A NEW SOLUTION TO MONITOR SPARKLING WINES PRODUCTION WITH CHARMAT METHOD.
Now WINEGRID completes its set of solutions for the second fermentation process, in which e-aphrom, optimized for bottles, covers the champenoise method and the newe-charmat is designed forcharmat method, in tanks.
It’s a key solution for sparkling wine and champagne producers, who will now be able to monitor the evolution of pressurein tanksanytimeand anywhere. The ability to set customizable alarms for pressure limits on WINEGRID Dashboard allows the winemaker to follow the process with greater safety and helps him to act proactively, in order to reach a consistent perlage and to preserve wine quality.
The new e-charmat is one more solution that will take part in WINEGRID integrated system, which offers a wide range of products for the several stages of the winemaking process, from pressing, fermentation (wineplus and barrelplus), maturation (e-bung), cellar environment (smartcellar) to the second fermentation.
Once again, WINEGRID has been mentioned in press. This time in French market, in an article regarding “connected density meters”. REUSSIR Vigne is a French wine industry magazine dedicated to winegrowers and winemakers, in which you can find worldwide news and the latest innovations of this industry.
After attending Hannover Messe 2022, WINEGRID has been highlighted in POMP NL, a Dutch industrial trade journal, as “an example of practical creativity, specialized in smart technology for oenology”. Fred Franssen also mentions in the article that “Despite the artisanal nature of winemaking, WINEGRID’s technology allows for a more efficient process, consistent quality and increased profitability.”.
