What’s in your wine: sustainable and organic vineyards

Deep freeze: how Ontario’s grapes survived the polar vortex

The art – and business – of storytelling: Is hiring PR good for your bottom line?

Dry ice (carbon dioxide) – a very sweet way to cool grapes Dry ice (CO2) is an ideal way to cool grapes in warm weather. When added during crushing, it can help keep the grape temperature down, which helps control the fermentation process. But applications for dry ice don’t stop there, dry ice (CO2) can also be used for blast cleaning. This environmentally friendly technique can help clean tanks for the next fermenting. Praxair also offers self-calibrating CO2 monitors.

Argon vs. nitrogen for blanketing Traditionally nitrogen (N2) has been a safe, affordable choice for blanketing in both tanks and bottling. However, experience has shown that it’s not totally inert and can form nitrites. This is why, with Praxair’s help, many wineries are switching to argon (Ar). Argon’s 100% inert composition makes it a better choice for blanketing.To find out how Praxair can

help make this year a good one contact us at 1-800-225-8247 or www.praxair.ca

It’s going to be a very good year

Wine making isn’t just an art.

It’s also a complex chemical

process and in today’s

modern wineries, bottled

gases play an increasingly

important role in many

aspects of bottled wine.

There’s no doubt about it, Canada went through the ringer this past winter. Even though the nation experienced the roughest winter in a long time (with some regions being “colder than Mars”), wine sales have not cooled down.

VQA sales in Ontario have increased by $100 million since 2008, and reached $268 million alone in 2013. Even though Ontario’s grapes were hit hard with last winter’s polar vortex, the industry is still thriving.

In this issue of Crush, we take a look at Ontario wineries and how their crops and inventories have sustained the extreme cold. On the other side of the country, we visit Okanagan Villa Estate Winery, which has gotten some major buzz lately with their Vibrant Vine Tasting Room, which offers a 3-D experience. The winery was also the recipient of the Platinum Award for Best White Wine in the World at the 2013 World Wine Competition in Geneva, Switzerland, a feat that put the small, family owned winery on the map.

Although I like to call this edition of Crush the “branding issue” for its stories on why wineries should hire PR firms, as well as a look at innovative labels, we have something for everyone. So sit back, grab a glass of your favourite pinot gris, and relax as you flip through the pages. If you want more Crush news, as well as up-to-date information on what’s happening in Canada’s wine regions, visit us online at crushmagazine.ca.

Ontario government renews Wine and Grape StrategyBy Melanie Franner

Promisingprospects:

The Ontario government has recognized the economic impact of the Ontario wine industry by giving the nod to

the renewal of its 2009 Wine and Grape Strategy. At the same time, it has upped the ante by $3 million a year to total $75 million over the next five-year period.

“This renewal is absolutely fundamental to the future growth and competitive-ness of the Ontario wine and grape in-dustry,” states Patrick Gedge, president and CEO, Winery & Grower Alliance of Ontario (WGAO). “The government’s previous investment of $12 million a year was announced in 2009 so we are now in our final fiscal year of that five-year program. That investment has been key to our success over the last number of years.”

In fact, VQA wine sales in Ontario have increased by $100 million since 2008 (the year prior to the Wine and Grape Strategy) – from $168 million in 2008 to $268 million in 2013.

Bigger and better

Tom O’Brien, founder and co-owner of Cooper’s Hawk Vineyards in Lake Erie North Shore, is an example of a smaller winery that has benefitted from the gov-ernment’s initial investment.

“We’ve been selling wine for three years come July,” he says, adding that the win-ery produces about 4,000 cases a year. “The fact that the commitment has been renewed is very significant for us. The last round of funding enabled us to re-coup some of the investment we made in planting five acres of new vines.”

Although having benefitted from the government investment, O’Brien is quick to add that he doesn’t believe in govern-ment supporting industry without some return.

“I think the government realizes that in-creasing the sales of Ontario wine will be better for the economy,” he says.

According to the WGAO, the Ontario in-dustry produces an economic impact of $3.3 billion on the province’s economy. It generates around 14,000 jobs and at-tracts close to two million visitors annu-ally – providing $644 million in tourism and tourism-related economic impact.

The next round of financial investment, which begins April 1, 2015, will also come with a couple of other initiatives to help increase sales of Ontario VQA

Fermentation/production.

wines. One, Ontario farmers’ markets will now be able to sell VQA wines, the result of new legislation that came into effect on May 1 of this year. Two, selected LCBO stores will offer an ex-panded selection of Ontario VQA wines via special in-store “Our Wine Country” boutiques.

Working hard for the money

Of critical concern to the WGAO is de-veloping a strategy of how to get the best bang for the buck.

“By making the announcement last De-cember, the government has given us the time we need to work with industry to come up with the right programs and initiatives,” explains Gedge. “We need to ensure that whatever mix of programs and initiatives we choose provide value for the money and return on investment. Our objective is to grow industry sales. If we grow sales, we need more grapes. Ultimately, we plan to create more jobs and to generate more revenue for the government.”

Del Rollo, director of Eastern Estates & Industry Relations for Constellation Brands, also believes in creating a strat-egy that will increase the industry’s eco-nomic impact.

“For the government to increase the investment is proof that they believe in the importance of this industry,” he states. “I am happy to see that they’ve got an industry group together to come up with a strategy of how to spend the money. It’s important that we do it in

the right way. Given where the industry is today, I think there are a lot of oppor-tunities to change the previous invest-ment model.”

According to a study by the Canadian Vintner’s Association, entitled The Eco-nomic Impact of the Wine and Grape Industry in Canada in 2011, each aver-age bottle of Ontario wine sold in the province generates $27.38 of business revenue.

Western outlook

Although the upcoming government investment will affect the continued fi-nancial support of only the Ontario wine and grape industry, the rest of the Ca-nadian industry is just as pleased with the news.

“We believe that any support of VQA Canadian wines is good for the entire industry,” states Miles Prodan, president and CEO, British Columbia Wine Insti-tute. “We’re happy for our colleagues in Ontario.”

With a few months left before the re-newal strategy comes into effect, the Ontario wine and grape industry still has some time to work with government and industry to fine-tune their prospec-tive programs and initiatives.

“We’re working on developing perfor-mance measures and goals to chart the growth of the industry over the next few years,” concludes Gedge. “We want to be able to revisit them each year to see where we are in comparison to where we said we would be.” o

The polar vortex has made its mark on Ontario’s grapes – but how big of a mark?By Jillian Mitchell

The vine effect

Polar Vortex – two words striking fear into the hearts of sommeliers and viticulturalists across Ontario’s wine country. The unnaturally harsh cold snap of 2014 brought high winds, sub-zero tem-peratures, and a host of concerns surrounding the

region’s sought-after grapes.

The fog of distress surrounding Ontario’s beloved grapes begs the question, what’s the actual scoop?

Brock University is hot on the trail of the polar vortex’s effects, collecting regional samples within each of the 10 designated sub-appellations of the Niagara Peninsula, Lake Erie’s North Shore, and Prince Edward County. To date, the university has reported injury to the province’s vines, particularly to the three most sensitive varietals – Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah.

“[2014] will definitely be a smaller crop compared to the re-cord harvest in 2013,” says Jim Willwerth, senior scientist in viticulture at Brock University, “and in some cases there won’t be very much of a crop – depending on variety and location. Southwest Ontario has experienced significant damage.”

Also sampling the province’s buds is the Grape Growers of Ontario, an association representing 500 of Ontario’s grape growers. The organization reports similar findings.

“There’s damage, no question,” says Bill George, chair of the Grape Growers of Ontario Board. “Some areas are seeing 50 to 60 per cent primary bud damage; that would indicate that you would have half a crop.”

Of course, these early findings are mere speculation as the to-

tal damage cannot be properly assessed until later this spring. Yet despite these initial reports, both George and Willwerth remain optimistic that projected losses may be mitigated if the appropriate strategies are (or have been) implemented.

Wind machine technology, for instance – whereby cold air near the ground and the slightly warmer air (two or three degrees warmer) approximately 15 metres above ground are inverted – could mean the difference between bud mortality and survival, says George. Pruning or retraining the vine is equally antici-pated to be a go-to strategy among growers this year, while replanting (as per usual) will be a last resort.

For the most part, a grape vine is resilient and can well-handle one or two cold events per year. Take for example, a vine with 20 per cent primary fruit and bud damage; the vine will com-pensate with berry size and bunch size during the growing season, rendering injury virtually unnoticeable, says Willwerth.

“We had a short crop in 2005 – about 26,000 tons of grapes. In the next year, it had rebounded to over 60,000,” Willwerth says. “So vines can be resilient, as long as you use proper strategies, you can get those vines back into production.”

Solid inventories from last year are anticipated to carry many growers through the 2014 year. In many cases, wine prices may be increased to mitigate crop loss, where crop insurance does not cover.

At this point however, it’s really still a wait-and-see game, says George. Only time will tell the fate of Ontario’s

grapes. o

“From a grower’s perspective, we have a whole lot of work ahead of us to get these vines back into shape. It was cold enough to damage a lot of the buds, but we haven’t seen trunk damage as of yet. Right now, we’re pleasantly surprised that our pruning adjustments have worked. “We were able to mitigate the risk with wind machines

as well – without that, on some of these cold nights we would’ve been gone for sure. So, we should be probably a 75 per cent crop, if we don’t get any trunk dam-age. The market is asking for these variet-ies that we have a hard time making sure they’ll grow every year. At the same time, our consumers are asking for grapes that

are susceptible [to cold damage]. We grow

a great mix of hybrids that are resistant

to the cold, but they don’t come with the

[popular names like Merlot and Sauvignon

Blanc].”

“We’ve actually had seven major cold inci-

dents in our region; the first was the vortex.

Down here, pretty much all the buds are

gone. We are at 95-to-98 per cent bud loss

here in Essex County. Pretty much every-

body here has cut back vines to a single

trunk and then we’re growing new shoots.

We won’t get grapes this year.

“Fortunately for us, [last year’s crop] had

good quality and quantity. We actually

bought grapes last year to double our pro-

duction, so we do have a lot of wine inven-tory. As soon as talk of the polar vortex came, we started talking to folks down in Niagara, and I think we’ve secured some grapes supplies from the Niagara region.”

Location: Beamsville, Ontario.Founded: 1994Typical annual production: 10,000 casesSize: 60 acres

“So far it is still difficult to tell how severe

the damage has been. We’ve had some

cooler weather here in Niagara, which has

caused a bit of a delayed start to the sea-

son. We have just started to see daytime

temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius,

and as a result we’re starting to see vines

push – some look a little better than we

were expecting, whereas the majority of the

more sensitive varieties look as though they

have taken a hit. The vines don’t seem to be dead, but we will need to look at a renewal program in some situations. The other vari-eties that have experienced lesser damage will most likely produce a reduced crop.

“At Thirty Bench, the wind speeds are a lot higher than what wind machines can han-dle, so we can’t use them. At this point it looks as though we will be down in produc-tion this year; Merlot, one of the more sen-

sitive varieties, which has seen some dam-age, is a big driver for our Bordeaux red blends and rosé. We’re hoping for the best and are really trying to maintain the health of the vines by not pushing them too hard and compromising them for next year’s pro-duction. Luckily our vineyard is very healthy and we don’t overcrop our vines, so they are inherently in better shape.”

Sustainable sips

Wanting to know where your food comes from is more than just a societal trend. It

is becoming a physical responsibility to closely examine the food we purchase and consume. Wine is no exception to that rule. That is why there is an increas-ing amount of vineyards and wineries in Canada using sustainable practices and making certified organic wine.

“[Organic products] is definitely where things are going in the world. People want to know where their food comes from, how it is handled, how it’s grown,”

said Bruce Ewert, owner and winemaker

of L’Acadie Vineyards, Nova Scotia’s first

organic winery. “When it has that Can-

ada Organic symbol on it, it tells them

the growing practices and handling

practices have been controlled by the

Canadian Food Inspection Agency.”

Ewert has been in the wine industry

since 1986, and has worked in both

conventional and organic winemak-

ing practices. He explained people are

more in touch with their food than they

used to be, and he does not deem or-

ganic as a trend or fad.

“It’s not a niche market anymore.”

L’Acadie has been certified organic for

10 years. When they planted, the soil

contained no chemicals, and Ewert pro-

ceeded to not use any in his growing

practices. He also uses bark mulch,

which gets composed back into the soil.

“The organic approach for all vegeta-

bles and fruits is you nurture the soil

and the soil provides for the vine…

We’re always thinking about the soil,” he

explained.

Steve Dale, vintner at Rollingdale Win-

ery in British Columbia, has only used

organic methods throughout his career.

and explained that half the battle starts

with the vineyard, meaning no herbi-

cides, ionized fertilizers, systemic fungi-

cides, or pesticides. With the winemak-

ing process, Dale said there is limited

amounts of sulfur added, and a number

of additives that cannot be used.

“There is probably a phonebook full of

wine additives that we don’t use,” Dale

said.

Not all vineyards and wineries have to

be certified organic in order to make an

impact. Many use sustainable practices

that are less harsh on the environment

than conventional methods, like Stratus

Vineyards in Ontario.

Suzanne Janke, director of hospitality

and retail with Stratus, explained when

the vineyard opened in 2005 they were

the first winery to have been accredited

as a Leadership in Energy and Envi-

ronmental Design (LEEDTM) building.

Other initiatives they use to lessen their

footprint include the practice of water-

reduction methods. Janke said Stratus

uses eight times less water and teas in their spraying methods compared to conventional spray methods. Instead of spraying for insects, they use phero-mone tags to confuse insects. Waste products at Stratus are also upcycled.

“We didn’t want to rest on LEED certifi-cation, we wanted to further our authen-tic approach to sustainability,” said Jan-ke, adding the vineyard has a volunteer green committee who bring forward new ideas to be implemented.

However, sustainable practices and being certified organic comes with an escalated price tag. Being sustainable often means relying on expensive man-power rather than chemicals.

“Not in the cellar, but in the vineyard it is a little more expensive labour-wise be-cause we’re not spraying the herbicide,” said Dale.

Janke said while sustainable and organic methods are traditionally more expen-sive, the process does pay dividends.

“Most importantly, the preservation of the land where the wine is grown. It is certainly more expensive in terms of the infrastructure, but over time there should be a payback on the initial in-vestment,” she said, speaking specifi-cally of the LEED building.

So, with organic being more than a fad, and environmentally friendly practices being more costly, does sustainable wine equal a sustainable business?

Dale said the answer to the question is two-fold. He explained there has been a saturation of wineries in Canada in recent years. A decade ago everything produced within the province was sold in the province. But today, there is twice the production of what is consumed. He also said production costs in Canada, organic or not, is higher compared to places like California and Argentina.

“There are a lot of wineries struggling whether they are organic or not be-cause of that,” he said. o

Nestled deep within B.C.’s Okanagan Val-ley amid a luscious Mediterranean-inspired garden, the Okanagan Villa Estate Winery is imagination’s reverie, reminiscent of Lewis Carroll’s infamous Wonderland with its ten-

dency toward both the extraordinary and the psychedelic.

And, just as Alice stumbled down the rabbit hole (and again, through the looking glass), so too do the Lewis’ customers into the world of Okanagan Villa, which for the last two years has been ranked British Columbia’s number-one winery expe-rience by Trip Advisor.

dimensional experience (complete with

3-D glasses).

“Our primary focus has been giving our

customers the best possible experience

at the winery,” says owner Wyn Lewis,

who moved to Kelowna in 2003 with

his wife, Marion. “Our winery is very dif-

ferent from any other winery. While we

are the summer home of the Kelowna

Shakespeare Company and put on pro-

ductions such a Phantom of the Villa in

the Italian courtyard of the winery, we

also have the distinction of being the

only 3-D winery as everything in The

Vibrant Vine Tasting Room is in 3-D, in-

cluding the shrink-wrapped bottles!”

Lewis and his family transformed their

11-acre apple orchard into a vineyard

in 2008, officially opening to the pub-

lic in 2010. Their son Tony is the wine-

maker, and their eldest son Phil is the

artist responsible for the artwork and

wine labels (each of the family’s annual

48,000 bottles are shrink-wrapped by

hand).

Most recently, an act of serendipity has

taken the Lewises on another adven-

ture. The winery’s white blend OOPS?

wine was “accidentally” entered into

the 2013 World Wine Competition in

Geneva, Switzerland (the largest wine

competition in the world) and won the

Platinum Award for Best White Wine in

the World.

The story starts one year ago, in actu-

ality. The winery’s supplier, TricorBraun

was so impressed with how Okanagan

Villa Estate Winery shrink-wrap label

their bottles that they entered the bot-

tles into the 2012 World Beverage Pack-

aging Competition. That year, the 2011

Chardonnay bottle won second place.

“We are a small, family owned winery and are so focused on our local custom-ers that we have not had the time to en-ter wine competitions,” says Lewis. “But this last September, TricorBraun entered us again into the 2013 World Beverage Packaging Competition, and while our 2013 Gewürztraminer won the bronze prize in that packaging competition, it also won the bronze prize in the World Wine Competition, which is held concur-rently with the World Packaging Com-petition.”

And that was not all.

January 5, 2014 is a day that Lewis will never forget. He received an email from TricorBraun – not only had the winery won the bronze medal in the Packaging Competition, but incredibly, the family’s 2013 OOPS? wine won the Platinum Best White Wine in the World prize.

“At first, I thought it was a joke. How could a small Kelowna winery win the best white wine in the world?” he re-calls. “But then we received confirmation from the competition that we had won both the bronze and platinum awards and were the first winery in the compe-tition’s 19 years ever to win two awards in the wine competition.”

19

Winning such distinctions at a world

event has turned the Lewis family’s

world upside down for the better, the

owner says. For instance, the winery’s

webpage received 20 times as many

hits as usual on the night after print and

TV news stories aired their competi-

tion win, and the story has continued

to spark interest over the spring. Add

to that, the winery, which is typically

closed for the winter, opened for three

hours the weekend after the announce-

ment in January and sold out of the

2013 OOPS? wine in the first hour.

In preparation for a summer like no

other, the family has opted to double

the size of their tasting room while ex-

panding sales to a few private stores in

the area. Of course, production of the

2013 vintage of their number-one win-

ner OOPS? has been doubled to 1,000

cases this year.

As for the future, Tony Lewis has moved

on to be winemaker at four Kelowna

wineries and the OOPS? wine has now

become WOOPS?, still named after the

upside-down label and still a blend of

the five grape varieties grown on the

Okanagan Villa Estate, but with a new

name to celebrate a winning OOPS?!.

“We realize that things are going to be a

little different this summer,” says Lewis,

who has received hundreds of emails

since the big win. “It has really put us

on the map.” o

judge a book by its cov-er. With a large variety of wines of all different vari-etals, sometimes it can be

difficult to find the vino that will satisfy

your palette. Bordeaux, chardonnay, cab

sav, 1992 vintage, full bodied, there’s a

whole gamut of terms for any somme-

lier or sommelier-wannabe that can de-

scribe a good bottle of wine. But what about those who don’t know where to start?

Like it or not, a great label or a catchy name can make the difference between your wine flying off the shelf or sitting there (aging gracefully, of course). We chose some of our favourite labels and names that are sure to make a great first impression with anyone.

19 Crimes – Australia

Did you know that Australia was found-ed based on felons crowding UK jails? The continent was in need of some civi-lization, so convicts were given punish-ment by transportation and thus a list of 19 crimes was drawn. The conviction? A torturous journey to an unknown land.

Each bottle from this Australian winery features a different convict, like John Boyle O’Reilly (shown above), an Irish-born poet arrested for mutiny in 1866.

Dirty Laundry – Canada, B.C.

Known as the Okanagan’s “dirty little se-cret”, Dirty Laundry Vineyard is named after a Chinese man who escaped the railroad and came to Summerland, B.C. in the 1800s. With an entrepreneur-ial spirit, he started a laundromat, and rumour has it, the upstairs contained gambling and a brothel.

Wine labels make great first impressionsBy Shayna Wiwierski

This winery’s cheeky labels feature some risqué imagery, including their 2008 Bordello. This red wine comes with a mini magnifying glass that shows that the damask-like pattern is actually silhouetted women, bras, handcuffs and more, something that the naked eye may not have seen.

Sibling Rivalry – Canada, Ontario

What happens when three brothers join forces in a wine company? Three blends of wine of course: white, red and pink. Sibling Rivalry is produced by the three Speck brothers, the talent behind Henry of Pelham, one of Canada’s most suc-cessful and respected wineries.

More colourful than their other collec-tions, these eye-catching pop-art bot-tles are sure to be a hit at any family gathering.

Saint & Sinner – Australia

Looking for a good time? Each bottle of Saint & Sinner features a number that you can call or text to find out more in-formation, get naughty images, or spe-cial offers.

Available in five varieties, each features a label that describes the qualities of the wine, and of the women on the bottles.

Megalomaniac – Canada, Ontario

For the ultimate narcissist, Megaloma-niac took its name from John Howard, who wanted to originally name his wines after himself. His friends thought he was “a [profanity withheld] megalomaniac” and thus, the wine was born.

Pair the Narcissist Riesling with a dia-mond set of cufflinks, a Rolex, and the finest oysters money can buy.

The Little Grape That Could – Argentina, by way of Toronto

Not only is this label über cute to look at, but buying a bottle will make you feel great (and we aren’t just talking about the obligatory wine buzz). The Little Grape That Could is a non-profit wine company where 100 per cent of the

profits from the sale of each bottle of

wine go to the charity of your choice in

Ontario. Simply buy a bottle, and then

with the code at the back, visit their site

at thelittlegrapethatcould.com, put in the

code and choose a charity that will re-

ceive the donation.

Each bottle also features a name that

the company wants to celebrate or hon-

our. Available at the LCBO, this wine will

make you feel good in more ways than

one. o

A closer look at the value-add offered by PR firmsBy Jillian Mitchell

The art (and business)of storytelling

Stories foster connection. But what you may not know is stories also foster conver-sion, driving both brand ex-posure and sales.

Hiring a public relations (PR) agency is an essential first step in creating a great strategy or “story” that aptly showcas-es the people behind the product. The trick is knowing when (or if) to take the plunge.

All by myself?

A common PR question circumventing most industries: Can’t I just do it myself?

“With the right connections, to a degree, you can do it yourself,” says Kate Mac-Dougall, a principal at Camber Commu-

nications out of Vancouver, B.C., “but an agency offers long-term strategy and really helps you identify and capitalize on brand milestones, timely product placements, and seasonal and trending opportunities. It’s more than just hoping you get a mention in a local publication.”

Leeann Froese of Vancouver-based PR firm Town Hall agrees. “[PR firms are] the ones with [their] fingers on the pulse,” says Froese, who worked in media relations for many of Canada’s top wineries before starting Town Hall a year ago. “Just because you have a paintbrush doesn’t mean you can paint a work of art; just because you have a contact list doesn’t mean you know how to use it. We know how to secure the kind of coverage our clients seek.”

Froese aims to gain her clients “wins” and has garnered scores of them for clients like B.C.-based winery Okana-gan Crush Pad. Client Christine Coletta, owner of Okanagan Crush Pad, cites the media relations services offered by Town Hall as exemplary – and time sav-ing.

“We’ve always used an outside PR firm,” says Coletta, who owned a consulting business for two decades (where she worked with Froese) prior to starting a winery in 2011. “They’ve got the con-tacts, they can dedicate the time, and they can point you in the right direction.”

An example of the right direction, Co-

letta’s winery has dedicated a lot of resources on photography, under the encouragement of Town Hall. “Again if I hadn’t been in [media relations] myself, I probably wouldn’t have understood the importance of that,” says Coletta. “A lot of wineries don’t necessarily have the tools they need in order to tell their sto-ry properly. I really know the importance of [PR] because I saw firsthand; I would never attempt to do it myself directly.”

How do I know when to hire a firm?

Southbrook Vineyards, situated in Ontar-io’s Niagara-on-the-Lake, began using a PR firm early this year. The decision to

hire a third-party was predetermined by

the owner for a few reasons, says Paul

DeCampo, director of marketing & sales

at Southbrook Vineyards – the number-

one reason, however, was the launch of

their proprietary product Bioflavia, an

organic red-wine grape powder with antioxidant attributes.

“We felt that it would be beneficial to bring in outside expertise,” says De-Campo, whose employer opted to work with Toronto’s Siren Communications for the launch. “Also, in conversation with potential distributors, it was sug-gested that a PR firm would be useful (in the launch).”

For the launch, the PR firm compiled the appropriate short-term and long-term strategies and accompanying tactics, and of the working relationship, De-Campo was pleased.

“Certainly there is benefit here. It’s an-other set of eyes and ears, more expe-rience,” he says. “Of course, we retain the ultimate responsibility for those strategies, but it’s certainly beneficial to discuss it with the firm for input and ideas.”

Deciphering whether or not to hire a PR firm depends on scale, adds DeCampo. “If you really only need 400 to 500 core households to buy your wine per year, and you were going to manage those sales directly through your winery, per-haps it wouldn’t be so necessary,” he says. “And, if you were a very large cor-poration, you would already have this capability in-house. For us, being mid-

dle-sized, I think in that context there is benefit there.”

And sometimes it’s a case of marking special occasions. Take for instance Tin-horn Creek Vineyards in B.C.’s Okana-gan, who this year celebrates their 20th

anniversary. Though the Tinhorn team handles their marketing initiatives in-house, they leave external PR to the Hawksworth Communications team, whom they have worked with for two years. The latest task at hand? Getting the word out about the vineyard’s an-niversary celebration.

“PR is very specialized; part marketing and Hawksworth experts. We are talk-ing to them constantly about new op-portunities that come up,” says Lind-sey White, Tinhorn Creek Vineyards, of Hawksworth. “By having Hawksworth as part of our marketing team, the rest of us can concentrate on other market-ing initiatives.”

Hawksworth principal, Annabel Hawk-sworth, echoes White’s sentiments. “Whether our goal is to boost event tick-et sales or to elevate the brand through telling a more in-depth story, [PR agen-cies] ensure key messages are com-municated effectively to the right audi-ence,” Hawksworth says. “Our agency provides fully cohesive communications counsel that includes outreach to tradi-

tional and digital media, including social media strategy. We know which editors will cover what and beyond that, the outlets and platforms that will garner the most effective results for our clients.”

How do I choose a firm?

Despite the rumour, bigger is not always better. When selecting the appropriate

PR firm for representation, it comes

down to passion and understanding –

interestingly, key traits of any successful

relationship.

“Find someone that’s really enthusi-

astic about what you do, that’s done

their research on your brand, and that

comes to the table with some ideas out

of the gate,” says Camber Communica-

tions’ Kate MacDougall, a certified Level

II sommelier through the International

Sommelier Guild. “Work with an agency

that helps you to determine your goals.

What at the end of this campaign is your

measure of success – specific editorial

placements, sales, breaking into a new

market? And if you don’t know, ask them

– and get them to guarantee a spectrum

of results.”

These public relations experts will help

connect the dots, so to speak, adding

context to products before getting it

into the right hands, says Town Hall’s

Leeann Froese. These teams will also

take the good with the bad.

“There’s that third-party credibility. A

journalist may be more candid with me,

as a third party, than they would with

someone from the company,” says Fro-

ese. “They may give me some really

good feedback that I can then share

with the client and they can learn and

grow from it.” o

planting the seedsfor the love of Canadian wine and food

In the late ‘90s, I was on the team for a first-of-its-kind proj-ect for Canada. Entitled Canada à la Carte, Discover Canadian Cuisine, this was a program to

promote local gastronomy to Canadians

before it was on trend, and before “lo-

cavore” was even a word.

The program featured a travelling road

show of Canadian wineries from across

the country (there were way fewer of

them back then), as well as local food

producers and chefs from each region

visited. For example, in Victoria, Salt

Spring Island cheese took part. Anchor-

ing this program were partnerships with Fairmont Hotels, Dairy Farmers of Can-ada, the Beef Information Centre, and of course the 25 or so wineries who in-vested in time and product to go on the road and tell the story of what they do.

20 years ago, this was an innovative program and people across Canada had not yet been exposed to local products in this way. No one before had visual-ized bringing everyone together to tell the complete story of what grows across our great land before then. We invited wine buyers, servers, liquor store em-ployees, hoteliers, chefs and media to

attend these festival-style trade-only tastings, which included a black box competition in each city; a precursor to TV programs like today’s much-lauded Chopped. Our competitions featured the talents of many up-and-coming chefs, many of whom are now celebrities. As amazing as this program was, we ini-tially had to lobby to encourage people to participate and attend at all levels. It was tough to convince people at first, as this concept was too new and un-proven, but ultimately this program was very successful and the results were massive. TV and radio stations in each city talked about the events, and

the collected print features could have filled a book on their own. There were increased listings of Canadian wine on restaurant lists and retail shelves, and chefs moved to incorporate more local ingredients on their menus.

Today it seems like a no brainer to sup-port our own backyard, but this pro-gram would never have been success-ful without the cooperation of the BC Wine Institute, the Wine Council of On-tario, and the forward-thinking industry boards, hotels and partners who made this program come to life.

Today, Canadians are aware of, proud of, and actively seek out local wines, so why do I make the nostalgic look back? This program helped to plant seeds and set the foundation for today, and it is important to learn from it.

Nothing like Canada à la Carte exists to-day, but it seems Canadians are natural-ly seeking homegrown products. There are dozens, perhaps even hundreds of events offering people the chance to try local wines. To have this support of servers, chefs and sommeliers is more important than ever, but since there are a greater number of producers compet-ing for attention, how does one make

contact with these thought leaders and all-important customers?

Since the target customer is not pre-disposed to accept your product, you need to stand out to attract a wider customer base – one that is sophisti-cated, educated and engaged enough to build a relationship with and establish a loyal following. First, identify who you want to reach, and then make sure that you know how to present yourself and your business to them. Then, find your partnerships and make your outreach.

Forge your unique identity, brand story and plan so that you can find your place in the market, and customers will seek you.

Grape Growers of Ontarioembrace eGrape

EGrape is the latest evolution of data manage-ment systems developed by the Grape Grow-ers of Ontario (GGO). Since launching Vitis, an extensive vineyard GIS/GPS mapping project in 2004, Grape Growers of Ontario has taken a

leadership role in supporting traceability initiatives and facili-

tating information gathering on behalf of its members.

eGrape is designed as a cloud-based system that allows

both growers and processors to quickly enter and access

data. Users have a single point of access to the system and

are now able to manage their account information, enter data

and generate reports with a single password.

“From a grape and wine industry standpoint, eGrape im-

proves traceability by combining information currently

housed in multiple stand-alone systems,” says Debbie Zim-

merman, CEO of Grape Growers of Ontario. “But more im-

portantly, it provides a useful vineyard management tool for

our members.”

Offering a wide Range of functionality for growers and processors, eGrape reduces data entry and increases the amount of timely information available. This allows for an end-to-end recordkeeping system to document the prove-nance of grapes, vine planting information, vineyard charac-teristics and structures at the block level, as well as detailed records of farm management practices, such as pesticide and fertilizer use, canopy management, irrigation and wind machine use. It contains harvest information from weigh bills, including quantities of grapes, processor, and grape quality metrics.

The system also combines spray recordkeeping and other vineyard management modules, weather information, and provides a message board and calendar to improve commu-nication with members.

The Grape Growers of Ontario has also unveiled the new wineONtour.ca interactive Ontario wine tour planner to help wine lovers discover Ontario’s wine regions. Using the eGrape database to populate the map, wineONtour.ca is a mobile travel tool that provides information on wine styles, varieties, appellations (unique features of the land and cli-mate where Ontario grapes are grown), and what to expect at a wine tasting.

“Whether planning a weekend in one of Ontario’s viticulture areas, or looking for a specific wine like Cabernet Franc or Icewine, wineONtour.ca lets you search by winery, by va-rietal, style of wine or location, and then plan a Route on your PC, iPad, or smartphone,” says Bill George, chair of the Grape Growers of Ontario.

Grape Growers of Ontario represents over 500 growers of processing grapes on 17,000 acres of vineyards in Ontario’s three designated viticulture areas, Niagara Peninsula, Lake Erie North Shore, Prince Edward County, and the emerging South Coast region. The development of eGrape has been funded through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Traceability Foundation Initiative (TFI). o

How Brock University’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute is helping grow Canada’s grape and wine industryBy Kaitlyn Little

When you look around the world, any coun-try with a successful wine region also has something else: a dedicated grape and wine research partner who address-es local challenges and priorities.

In Ontario that role belongs to Brock University’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI) who are working with other regional partners across Canada to develop a na-tional support network for the industry. CCOVI’s researchers

and support staff provide extensive research, outreach and

analytical services support to grape growers and winemakers.

“For us, collaborating with industry to address their research

priorities has been critical to establishing successful partner-

ships,” says CCOVI director Debbie Inglis. “The industry is

worth approximately $6.8 billion a year to the Canadian econ-

omy. Through our research partnerships, we look forward to

further contributing to that growth.”

Specialized analytical services

In 2010, the institute opened an analytical services lab where wineries and growers can get juice and wine tested for every-thing from sugar and acidity levels to alcohol content. Today, the lab has grown to serve more than 100 clients a year.

For winemakers, the lab fills a void in available services in On-tario, says analytical services client Thomas Bachelder, whose Trois Terroir project makes wine in Niagara, Oregon and Bur-gundy.

“Every wine region has a system where there are two or three public or private labs that you can rely on,” says Bachelder, “and that had not happened in Niagara. The university recog-nized that void and stepped in to fill it.”

Dedicated research and outreach activities

For wineries that do their lab work in-house, CCOVI’s Calibrate Your Lab service helps ensure their equipment is in top work-ing order during the peak periods of harvest and bottling. This is part of the calibrate series of workshops that give industry personnel hands-on opportunities to learn best practices in the vineyard and winery. So far this year, more than 65 grow-ers from across Ontario have been trained in viticulture best practices during the Calibrate Your Vineyard sessions.

In the depths of winter, growers have come to rely on CCO-VI’s VineAlert program, which identifies the air temperature at which a vine would sustain damage from cold weather, and prompts growers to activate mitigation methods such as wind machines. When temperatures drop, and vine hardiness levels fluctuate, growers rely on VineAlert’s data. Between October 2013 and April 2014, the VineAlert website was visited over 16,700 times.

For growers, knowing this information often means cost sav-

ings.

If VineAlert notifies growers to use wind machines during a

cold event, business consultants have found Ontario grow-

ers can avoid $10 million in lost sales and $32 million in vine

retraining and replacement costs each year if a single cold

weather event causes 30 per cent damage to unprotected

vines.

Conversely, providing ongoing cold-hardiness information also

helps growers know when wind machines aren’t needed, sav-

ing over $1 million in energy costs each year.

A sparkling program

CCOVI’s latest outreach and research work is focused on cre-

ating high-quality sparkling wines, a product which has seen a

huge jump in consumer demand. In 2013, sparkling wine sales

in vintages at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario shot up 59.2

per cent from 2012 sales data.

In May, winemakers from across North America gathered at

Brock for the first Ontario Sparkling Wine Technical Sympo-

sium hosted by CCOVI. The sold-out event brought in inter-

national experts who provided technical advice and practical

solutions for attendees to take back to their wineries.

CCOVI researchers are currently working on two projects that

examine all components of sparkling wine from the vineyard,

through production and right up to the sale of the finished

product.

New wine packaging connects with millennials

For many, a relaxing occasion may be taken in an overstuffed chair with a great cabernet enjoyed from an elegant Bordeaux glass. For others, that calming time might be spent on a wilderness trek with wine poured from a crush-proof pouch that

had been stuffed into a hiker’s backpack.

With increasing frequency, the wine pouch is the choice of

Millennials, a rapidly growing segment of the wine industry.

These trendsetters, drinking age to 37 years, want to enjoy

wine wherever they are: the beach, a bike trail, or a concert…

many places where a glass container would not be acceptable.

They are confident, upbeat, and wide-open to change. Most

important: they grew up drinking beverages from pouches.

Wine pouches are a generational advancement over bag-in-a-

box wine packaging. Their key improvements are in materials

that maintain the wine’s quality and reduce weight, trimming

shipping costs.

The AstraPouch® wine pouch employs eight bonded layers

and is 3.75 times more effective at blocking oxygen transmis-

sion than the leading bag-in-a-box. Pouches provide:

• Three individual oxygen barrier layers compared to one lay-

er found in the leading bag-in-a-box

• Thicker materials amounting to 7.5 mil in

a pouch verses 5.0 mil in a bag-in-a box

• No interstitial oxygen between layers

within the pouch construction

The pouches are 17 times more effective

at blocking moisture transmission than the

leading bag-in-a-box.

In addition to higher levels of wine quality, pouches offer re-

duced shipping costs. Pouches weigh 39 grams vs. 112 grams

for two-litre equivalent containers.

Pouches are available in 750 ml, 1.5 ml, 1.75 ml, and three-

litre sizes. They may be embellished with up to eight colours

using flexographic or rotogravure printing.

The one-way tap is specially designed to prevent O2 from en-

tering the bag during filling. Taps come attached to the pouch-

es and are designed to be shorter then BIB Tap because there

is no need to extend outside the box.

Some wineries have chosen to purchase filling machines for

pouches, while others have taken their first step with a co-

packer.

TricorBraun WinePak (www.TricorBraunWinePak.com), with an-

nual sales in excess of $120 million, is North America’s largest

supplier of wine packaging. The firm has offices in Northern

and Southern California, Oregon, Washington, and British Co-

lumbia. It has been serving the wine industry since 1982.

The company’s facilities include a $2-million repacking system

that automatically transfers wine bottles

from eight-foot-high stacks of pallets to

individual wineries’ custom 12-bottle

cartons.

It also offers an online store, WinePak

Direct (www.WinePakDirect.com) that

serves small wineries and large wineries

with exclusive, limited case bottlings. oTricorBraun AstraPouch.

La Garde wine tanksDesigned for winemaking by winemakers

L a Garde is a division of SML Stainless Steel Group that has been proudly serving its clientele since 1966. Its history of excellence in design, fabri-cation, delivery, and installation of stainless-steel products is unequalled. They can proudly add to

their list of happy customers four of the best 50 restaurants

in the world.

La Garde’s wine tanks were designed for winemaking by wine-

makers, enologists, and engineers. Their tanks are made from

the finest 304 stainless-steel Grade 11.

La Garde’s rectangular shape fermenters are designed to max-

imize the contact ratio must-to-juice through a thinner cap to

optimize fermentation, wherein lies the creation of flavour and

complexity of wines. With La Garde’s rectangular tanks, the

contact surface could be increased by up to 50 per cent when

compared to a cylinder with the same floor width. By increas-

ing that contact surface for the same volume, you increase the

efficiency of the fermentation process and the cap is much

easier to punch down, provides more efficient pump-overs,

and facilitates the cooling process. All this helps the winemak-

ers to save on time and helps them to be as gentle and as

minimal as possible with their interventions.

They produce all tanks sur mesure, meaning that they are tai-

lor-made to use every single inch of winery that you would like

to occupy to produce your wine. They can adapt the height,

the width, and the depth of the tank to reach the exact volume

of wine that you want to produce. Their standard rectangular

tanks will produce 50 per cent more volume of wine than a cylinder tank for the same wall width that you want to occupy. Actually, given the production volume that you will need, they could reduce your winery floor plan and therefore reduce your construction cost.

Their tanks are environmentally responsible. A big advantage of working with La Garde’s tanks is the simplicity of cleaning them. The reason why they are so easy to clean is due to the hand-polish finish that they proudly apply to each of them. The exterior walls are a number-four polished finish with pol-ished welds, and the interior walls is in 2B polished finish with polished welds. Actually, the welds are so polished that it is seamless. Although the tanks have a rectangular shape, the inside is rounded so there is no sharp corner as you can see even in the cylinder tanks.

The other eco-friendly advantage is their cooling jacket sys-tem. The spacing in their jackets is larger than with any other tanks. It allows the glycol to flow within the jackets with less headloss and a more rapid flow. The heat-exchange transfer is therefore more efficient and it requires less energy to cool the wine.

Better quality of wine, more volume, best construction and finish, easiest to clean and fastest ROI. That’s why they claim that they can optimize every winery production.

Opportunities abound in the heart of Vancou-ver Island’s burgeoning wine industry – from supporting the development of new and ex-isting vineyards, to working in wine tourism, to serving the best of the grape in restau-

rants and tasting rooms.

Students who complete Vancouver Island University’s (VIU)

Wine Business Certificate program find potential employment

not only in Vancouver Island’s wine industry, but also further

afield in Canadian or international wine destinations.

The Wine Business Certificate Program, now in its fourth year,

was developed through the collaborative efforts of VIU faculty and staff in the Business, Culinary and Hospitality Manage-ment, and Tourism and Recreation programs, says Peter Bris-coe, chairperson of VIU’s Hospitality Management program.

“There isn’t another program like this on the Island or in the region,” Briscoe says. “Students take away a thorough knowl-edge of the industry, from winemaking and wine appreciation to wine marketing and wine tourism.”

The certificate helps graduates find employment in a variety of careers in the wine industry, Briscoe adds. “Opportunities Range from working in a vineyard or winery, for a wholesaler,

Business Certificate program, prepares a wine tasting in her role as a tasting room

attendant at the Comox Valley’s Averill Creek Vineyard.

a retailer, a food service establishment, or in special events or tourism operations related to the wine industry.”

The program, which can be completed full-time in one year, or part-time over two years, takes students through courses re-lated to the wine industry that include the process of winemak-ing, wine appreciation and product knowledge, wine market-ing, wine tourism and other knowledge related to the business of wine. The program also includes completion of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust’s (WSET) Level II certification.

Leanne Gavaghan recently completed the Wine Business Cer-tificate program at VIU and says she found courses focused on entrepreneurship and wine marketing “extremely beneficial”.

“I feel confident embarking on my career path with an excel-lent base of knowledge for the wine and spirits industry,” says Gavaghan, who now works as a tasting room attendant at the Comox Valley’s Averill Creek Vineyard.

Alex Wilson, another graduate of the Wine Business Certificate program, says he now has both a Canadian and international perspective on the wine industry, which he put to good use working at several highly rated restaurants in the west coast tourism mecca of Tofino on Vancouver Island, followed by his current role working at Road 13 Winery in B.C.’s Okanagan.

Wilson said he enrolled with a general interest in wine, and

soon became interested in exploring the possibilities of the

wine business much further.

“The Wine Business Certificate program has given me a great

stepping stone for a rewarding career in the wine industry.”

Currently completing the last few courses in the program at

VIU, Taylor Bull says she has several jobs in the industry lined

up post-graduation. “I highly recommend this program to any

students interested in wine. The professors are great, and the

information you walk out with is well worth the time and ef-

fort.”

As Vancouver Island’s wine region continues to grow and ma-

ture, from vineyard operations on the southernmost tip of the

island to the Comox Valley mid-island, faculty behind VIU’s

Wine Business Certificate program ponder plans to further en-

hance students’ learning in this fascinating industry.

“We expect there will be more partnerships and hands-on

learning in the wine industry for students in this program as

we continue to shape and develop content,” says Briscoe. “We

know we have something very unique and completely relevant

to our region and province, so we continually work to ensure

we offer a program that meets the needs of students and the

industry they’re learning about.” o

optimizingwine maturationthrough the use of oak alternatives and micro-oxygenation

Small amounts of oxygen added to wines soon after pressing

are extremely important to ensure fast stabilization of colour

and to avoid unpleasant problems associated with reduction.

During this stage, with large amounts of free anthocyanins

and acetaldehyde present in wine, the addition of tannin and

oxygen is the fastest and most efficient way to ensure colour stabiliza-

tion. The interaction of these components lead to what is commonly

referred to as a acetaldehyde bridge, and facilitates the formation of

stable tannin-anthocyanin complexes, which display purple colour and

are resistant to oxidation and SO2 bleaching.

In the past few years, with an increased knowledge of the chemi-

cal reactions involving oxygen, micro-oxygenation has become an

important tool for correctly managing colour stabilization and tannin

evolution. It is now known that even tiny amounts of oxygen

can positively influence the development of wine.

For this type of application, it is extremely important

to use an accurate system, which is able to deliver

the exact amount of oxygen required for chemical

reaction, without risking oxidation. Enartis MicroOx MicroOx

37

has been researched and developed with a strong focus to-

ward accuracy and a user-friendly interface. These two fea-

tures, along with the constant support from Enartis Vinquiry’s

R&D department, allow them to offer a first-class service to

winemakers using their system.

Enartis MicroOx is available in different versions. The smallest

unit uses a single dosing point, while larger, customized ver-

sions can feature up to 120 points and more. All versions have

a built-in computer able to constantly monitor the accuracy of

the system and assist the operator with calculating the operat-

ing parameters. For wineries that require even more control of

the process, they have developed a kit that allows controlling

all dosing points from a remote PC, smartphone, or laptop

computer. With this kit, it is possible to have complete control

of the unit and monitor in real time all the operating param-

eters of each tank, time elapsed, and time remaining until the

end of the cycle. All of this data can be saved in a separate file

for future reference.

What about oak?

Oak alternatives are becoming very popular with the rising

costs of barrels. Enartis offers the Incanto Oak Chips Range.

Each has a unique sensory profile, allowing the best applica-

tion for your wine.

For use during ageing, the chips require four weeks of contact

time, and dosages of one to five g/L. This allows the wine to

develop and mature, but also gives the winemaker the ability

to decide how much extraction is desired to achieve sensory

goals. Chip samples are available, and for further inquiries,

please contact Enartis Vinquiry directly.

In June 2013, Health Canada ap-proved the use of Velcorin® (di-methyldicarbonate/ DMDC), a microbial control agent produced by LANXESS for use in the pro-

duction of wine within Canada. Velcorin technology has been used within the U.S. wine industry since 1988 and is very ef-fective at low dosages against a broad Range of yeast, bacteria, and moulds. Unlike many other oenological practices though, Velcorin does not affect wine taste, bouquet, or colour.

Applications:

To help prevent refermentation in finished wines

Wines containing residual sugar are sus-ceptible to fermentation in the bottle, which can lead to haze, off-odours, off-flavours and effervescence. Adding Vel-corin to wine during bottling can help prevent refermentation. Also, the prod-uct Velcorin can be used to replace or decrease sorbate, which is sometimes used in wines containing residual sugar.

To control spoilage yeast, such as Brettanomyces (especially in unfil-tered or moderately filtered wines)

Brettanomyces is able to metabolize

sugars, including cellobiose from toasted

barrels, leading to the evolution of 4-eth-

ylphenol and other undesirable sensory

attributes. Velcorin is very effective

against Brettanomyces.

To decrease the amount of sulfur dioxide used in wines

Sulfur dioxide, used in combination with

Velcorin technology, has been shown to

achieve microbial stability at lower over-

all sulfur dioxide levels.

To reduce warehouse holding time in early-to-market wines

Velcorin technology can be used to de-

crease the amount of sulfur dioxide and/

or decrease the degree of filtration re-

quired. Such wines undergo speedier

sulfur dioxide equilibration and can be

released earlier.

To prevent refermentation in wines for bulk transport

Recently, certain European countries and

companies have moved to minimize or

eliminate the use of sorbate in wines.

Velcorin, a microbial control agent, has

been used in lieu of sorbate, at the point

of bulk container filling to prevent refer-

mentation of wines containing residual

sugar.

To replace hot filling process and tunnel pasteurization

Microbiologic sensitive wines may be

bottled by temperatures up to 150°F

to prevent refermentation, or products

filled in cans may be pasteurized, which

stresses the product and affects its

properties, whereas Velcorin is added at

usual cellar temperature.

Frequently asked questions

How does Velcorin work?

Velcorin controls microorganisms by en-

tering the cell and inactivating some of

the key enzymes required for cell func-

tion. Specifically, Velcorin is thought to re-

act with the histidyl residues of proteins,

including those involved in the active site

of many enzymes. Susceptible enzymes

are consequently rendered functionless

due to blockage of the active site and/

or conformational changes in structure.

Excess Velcorin then completely hydro-

lyzes in the presence of water.

What factors determine Velcorin effectiveness?

The effectiveness of Velcorin technology

depends on microbial type, microbial

load, and other factors. At low doses,

Dosing machine

scott Laboratories introduces Velcorin

39

Velcorin is very effective against yeast.

At greater doses, Velcorin is also effec-

tive against bacteria and certain fungi.

Pre-treatment of wine must reduce the

microbial load to less than 500 micro-

organisms/mL. That said, Velcorin is not

a replacement for good sanitation prac-

tices.

How much Velcorin can I use in

my wine?

Health Canada permits up to 200 ppm

total of Velcorin to be used in wine, de-

alcoholized wine and low-alcohol wine.

Are there any limits in respect to

product packaging?

Velcorin can be used for filling into

standard packaging such as glass, PET,

cans, bag-in-box or pouches, as well as

during production, temporary storage,

or transport in a container.

Why do I have to use an approved

dosing system?

Due to the unique physical properties

of Velcorin, and to help assure safe

handling, LANXESS Corp. requires the

use of Velcorin DT dosing machines.

Velcorin is hydrophobic and solidifies

at 17°C (63°F). The dosing machines

are engineered expressly for Velcorin

(to prevent solidification and aid in Vel-

corin solubility). Temperature controls,

specific safety features and a special

metering system are also incorporated

into the design.

I don’t have a Velcorin-dosing

machine. How can I use Velcorin

technology to treat my wine?

Mobile Velcorin-dosing service has

proven very popular within the United

States. Currently several businesses

have expressed an interest in the mo-

bile dosing of Velcorin within Canada.

Please call our office (800-797-2688)

to learn more about mobile dosing with-

in your region.

Is VELCORIN-treated wine approved in other countries?

DMDC is approved by the codex alimen-

tarius as a processing aid for wine, as

well as a recognized oenological prac-

tice by OIV (International Organization

of Vines and Wine). Velcorin approval

is product and country specific. Of the

approximately 60 countries that cur-

rently allow Velcorin product treatment

for wine, they include: the United States,

Argentina, Australia, Chile, Mexico, Eu-

ropean Union member states, Russia,

New Zealand and South Africa.

Scott Laboratories is the exclusive dis-

tributor of Velcorin within Canada’s wine

industry. Please contact your Scott Lab-

oratories sales representative, or our of-

fice at 1-800-797-2688 to learn more

about the benefits of Velcorin. o

All vines, apples, and other soft fruit require many posts to support the plants, and often the posts need to be installed in rough terrain or on a steep hillside.

Christie Engineering (Australia) recognized

the need for a highly portable device to install miles of fence

posts in the Australian outback for sheep farming. From their

observation, they set to work designing the Redi-Driver fence-

post driver. After two years of proving in the rugged outback,

Christie Engineering started to market the machine in Europe

and North America.

The Redi-Driver machine will save you time and effort. The

design enables the operator to move along a trellis or fence

line with ease, much faster than traditional pneumatic or hy-

draulic-driven units with cumbersome hoses to manage. All in-

ternal components are manufactured from the highest-quality

precision-machined materials to give the longest tool life pos-

sible. Being well field proven with no issues, the Redi-Driver now has a lifetime warranty on the hammer and a three-year warranty on the mechanical drive parts. Little maintenance is required with a teaspoon full of high-pressure grease added after installing every long trellis line.

This lightweight powerhouse delivers the punch where you need it and when you need it. It’s easy to start and just lift the Redi-Driver on top of the post and squeeze the throttle.

Pull down with approximately 10 pounds of pressure and let the three-inch hammerhead do the work. The hammer hits the post at 1,720 times a minute, pounding posts like a much larger and heavier machine.

The shock-absorbing handles and the lightweight of the ma-chine makes it physically less demanding than traditional methods and can be used all day without operator fatigue.

gas, so there are no mistakes using the wrong mix of oil and

gas, which is very economical in gas being able to install 500

steel posts, T or U shaped, on one litre of gas.

Installing wooden posts, either vertically or at an angle, for the

end of the trellis line takes slightly more time than a steel post,

but driving an anchor rod all the way into the ground takes a

minute or two depending on the soil conditions. A reducer is

slipped inside the barrel for anchor rods or small diameter steel

posts.

Installing tall posts is always a challenge getting above the post

with the post driver. No problem with the Redi-Driver, simply

bolt on the long handle extenders and the operator can keep

safely keep both feet on the ground while operating the ma-

chine. Fit the long handles to the top of the machine and the

operator can drive anchor rods all the way into the ground

without bending down and straining the back.

The Redi-Driver is not confined to just out in the field. Set-

ting up a marquee for a vineyard open day. the driver easily

pounds in the marquee tent stakes. Need signposts to guide

your guests around? The Redi-Driver will drive a U-channel

signpost through asphalt and packed gravel with ease; getting

the posts out afterwards may be a challenge.

Customers who have purchased the machine are initially very

skeptical of its performance, but once they have tried it for a

couple of months, it is inevitable that they return

to buy a second or third machine depending on

the size of their workforce. The Redi-Driver be-

comes an indispensable tool; nobody shies away

from the hard work of hammering in posts.

The Redi-Driver is available at Deer Fence Canada Inc., which

as been in business for 10 years. Fundamentally an online

store selling and shipping products anywhere in Canada, they

focus on products that are not generally available in the coun-

try, stock them, and in most cases, ship within 48 hours.

Deer Fence also supplies cat fences, dog fences, turf protection,

poultry fences, bird netting, polyamide trellis cables, polyam-

ide horse fence, a full Gripple Range of wire joiners tensioners,

ground anchors, bracing kits, and automatic gate openers. o

New tools available toCanadian winemakersThe basics principles of

winemaking, including selecting and growing the right grape varietals, picking at peak ripeness,

encouraging a healthy fermentation, and keen attention to winery hygiene haven’t changed all that much over the years. However, the tools and technologies available to today’s winemakers have evolved and improved dramatically, re-sulting in huge benefits to the potential quality of the wines being produced. Let’s take a look at some examples of technologies in the wine industry that have helped winemakers improve the quality of their wines.

Traditional-method sparkling wine equipment

With the founder of the company taking credit for the invention of the original wire hood on a bottle of champagne, VALENTIN has based its 160-year lega-cy on designing and developing packag-ing machinery for sparkling wines made in the traditional method of secondary bottle fermentation. Based in the heart of the champagne region, VALENTIN is the oldest company in the world dedi-cated solely to producing extremely du-rable machines specifically for tradition-al sparkling wines. Over the last century, they have effectively transformed what had been a very “hands-on” manual and tedious set of procedures, subject to human error, into an automated process introducing both product consistency and faster production speeds.

VALENTIN offers both semi-automatic and automatic equipment to handle all stages of the traditional sparkling wine

process, from filling and disgorging, to

corking and wire hooding, with produc-

tion speeds that Range from 300 up

to 2,000 bottles per hour. With a cus-

tomer list including G.H. Mumm, Moet &

Chandon, Pommery, Krug and Bollinger,

VALENTIN has clearly earned its posi-

tion as the world leader in “Methode

Traditionelle” sparkling wine packaging

equipment. The best news about all this

for Canadian winemakers? VALENTIN

has established solid distribution and

technical support for their equipment

in the North American market through a

recent partnership with Cellar•Tek Sup-

plies, based in St. Catharines, Ont. and

Kelowna, B.C.

Wine on tap

Before the advent of the glass bottle, it was commonplace for taverns and restaurants to have wooden or earthen-ware “casks” that acted as both stor-age and serving vessels. Once bottling became widespread, the world of “on-tap” alcoholic beverages was relegated largely to the realm of draught beer. It wasn’t until recently that wine “on tap” became popular again in North Ameri-ca. Over the past decade, wineries have slowly been evolving their bulk packag-ing from five-to-16 litre “bag-in-box” to pressurized stainless steel 30-litre kegs. In Canada, you can now find wine bars across the country offering some of the best estate wines from B.C. and Ontario on tap. Using inert gas to pres-surize the kegs allows the wine to re-main stable and fresh from the first to the last pour. Once empty, kegs are sim-ply returned, cleaned, and re-filled for another go around. The lifespan of a keg can easily reach 20 to 30 years, replac-ing thousands of tons of glass bottles that would have either been disposed of into our landfills or crushed and melted for other glass products at a great ex-pense of energy in the process.

The popularity of wines on tap has spurred one company in particular, SIFA Technologies in the Prosecco region of Northern Italy, to design specific equip-ment for the cleaning, sanitizing and fill-

ing of kegs. Designed and engineered by the winemaker/founder of the com-pany, the SIFA kegging equipment ad-dresses the sanitary issues that plague the designs of their competitor’s ma-chinery. Where the competitor’s equip-ment routinely use plastic and rubber tubing for the transfer of product, SIFA’s design substitutes high-grade stainless-steel tubing for all product lines. This feature alone allows operators to fully clean and sanitize the equipment be-fore and after each use to ensure the complete system is free from spoilage organisms that can easily take up resi-dence in the product lines of inferior machinery. Wineries can now be rest assured that their fresh, crisp, aromatic whites, and their complex, multi-layered reds will not be tainted or spoiled in the kegging process and will taste exactly as the winemaker intended, glass after glass after glass.

While SIFA firmly established them-selves as the go-to manufacturer of semi-automatic and automatic kegging

equipment across Europe, they lacked the necessary technical partner to set up distribution for the burgeoning winery and craft brewing markets in Canada. That situation was remedied when they met with the owners of Cellar•Tek Sup-plies at Italy’s largest winery equipment trade show, SIMEI, in Milan in 2013 and realized that Cellar•Tek’s commitment to service and technical support made them the best choice to introduce and represent the SIFA kegging technology in the Canadian market.

What does the future hold?

As technology continues to push the boundaries in university and winery research facilities around the globe, companies like VALENTIN and SIFA will continue to develop equipment utilizing the new technologies that ulti-mately help winemakers deliver a bet-ter product to the most important link in the loop. Namely you, the wine-loving

consumer. o
