The grapes go directly into the press, without passing by the pump. This method, using pneumatic pressure, provides greater respect for the delicacy of the fruit and allows the extraction of the richest juices, resulting in an extra finesse in the wines.

The use of stainless steel or old wooden barrels for 90% of the tanks makes it easier to regulate the temperature of the wine during fermentation, which static must settling, Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with individual heating/refrigeration system as well as providing greater precision in tracking the freshness and purity.

Fermentation is the object of particular vigilance, as it is done with indigenous yeast plus selected yeast from the Alsatian vineyards, conferring style and complexity to the wines. The Maturation on the lees: 9 months

NFC system (Chan Ka Yee 140096366) and (Tse Wing Yee 10211791)

In the technology society, the new technology integrated into our life very soon. We

can find a NFC tag in some wine bottle.

What is NFC?

Let’s introduce the NFC system, the new technology integrated into our life very

soon. We can find a NFC tag in some wine bottle. What is NFC? In 2011, the NFC

system is join into the wine market. We can through the NFC tag and the smartphone

app to know more other information about the wine. It can help more wine tasting for

beginners and enthusiasts learn more and convenient of search wine information.

How to use NFC?

NFC is stand for near field communication, this is a form of contactless

communication between devices like smartphones or tablets, for example, an NFC

tag, if the wine bottle add an NFC tag, the user can through the NFC tag to search

some relate information of the wine. Such as the wine a history and story. Also, the

customer can through the NFC tag to verify quality conditions.

In addition, eProvenance was established in 2007 and already works with a number of

leading Bordeaux négociants and châteaux, estates in Burgundy, wineries in

California, importers in Hong Kong and wine merchants in London. When this system

become more popular, some small winery can join the NFC system, which the global

wine market, it has a positive effect. In 2011, eProvenance cooperate with NFC. They

have adding NFC temperature sensors to cases of wine. So having some wine have an

NFC tag on each bottle under the back label that is connects relate information of

winemaker. The user can check the quality of buying.

Also, the NFC tag can detect fake wine. The growing threat of counterfeit wine sold

worldwide. Having survey that said some 20% of wine sold worldwide is counterfeit,

and up to 50% in some Asian countries, especially for high-end French wines. So

then, if some wine has the NFC tag, it can make sure that the wine is real and reduce

buy fake wine opportunity.

Finally, the development of NFC tag is very important for the wine industry since the

NFC can more convenient to provide some information of wine, ensure the wine

quality and buyer can differentiate wine is real or fake.
