Is this the most sustainable distilling set up in the world? Possibly. If you like nerdy distilling info and BTS insight - here's Bingil Bay, a distillery who operate at scale and completely under vacuum. Not partial atmospheric pressure - the whole thing (even at 2000L) is under vacuum and combined with proprietary heat recovery and other tech, means they run off solar and avoid or dramatically reduce most of the emissions involved in Rum production. It's unique, sure, but their bespoke SUB-ATMOSPHERIC™ system disrupts the status quo and sets out a different vision for how craft distillers can operate. “Distilleries are a standout in the food and beverage industry, which as an industry mostly changed to vacuum many years ago when faced with similar processes like boiling and reduction. Why? For flavour preservation and energy reduction. No food processor could exist today without vacuum.” And in the face of rising climate concerns, distillery evolution is long overdue.

In this article, we will explore the trends related to wine and sustainability, discussing how they are shaping the future of the wine industry. https://lnkd.in/eXSnjBHG #wine #winelover #vino #winetasting #winetime #winelovers #wineguide #wineclub #food #instawine #redwine #winestagram #winery #wineoclock #winelife #whitewine #drinks #foodie #drink

INNOVATIVE SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY, wine production. Flottweg   Global competition and changing consumer demands pose new challenges for the industry. This makes it all the more important to rely on innovative and flexible solutions to meet the challenges of tomorrow.   Changing environmental conditions are affecting crop yields and the quality of grapes. Modern processes in must treatment and winemaking are therefore essential to ensure the best possible quality.   Flexible, reliable, and easy-to-operate plant technology such as decanter centrifuges and clarifiers play a key role here. They make the efficient and gentle separation of solids and fluids possible and thus help enable a high yield and a top-quality end product   The advantages of innovative separation technology ∙ Increased product yield in the processing of must ∙ Improved quality: gentle processing and reduction of oxidation ∙ Flexibility: adjustment to different grape varieties and processing methods ∙ Efficiency: reduction of process times and energy costs ∙ Reliability: durable machines with high operating convenience and minimal maintenance costs   With the right separation technology, wineries are well equipped to tackle the challenges of the future and meet the tastes of end consumers.   For more information ; https://lnkd.in/esaAWBi3   #wine #Flottweg #decanter #seprator

Climatic changes, oak groves, and the role of oenological products in ESG   Climatic changes are increasingly affecting the traditional range of oak groves in Europe, creating significant challenges to the wine and spirits industries that rely on these resources. As temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, the growth and sustainability of oak trees are threatened, leading to a potential shortage of this essential material for barrel production. This shift not only impacts the availability of oak but also its quality, as the changing climate can alter the wood's characteristics, affecting its suitability for aging beverages.   In response to these challenges, oenological products have emerged as a key component of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies within the industry. These innovative products offer sustainable alternatives to traditional oak barrels, reducing the reliance on diminishing natural resources. By using oak chips, cubes, and other alternatives, producers can achieve the desired flavors and aromas in their beverages while promoting forest conservation and responsible environmental practices.   Bousinage plays a significant role in this effort, offering a wide range of high-quality oenological products that support sustainable practices. By integrating these alternatives into their production, wineries and distilleries can lower their environmental impact and contribute to the preservation of Europe's oak groves. This approach aligns with broader ESG goals, emphasizing responsible resource management and commitment to long-term environmental health.   Embracing oenological products not only helps reduce the effects of climate change on traditional oak groves but also ensures the continued production of high-quality wines and spirits. As the industry adapts to these new realities, the use of sustainable alternatives will play a crucial role in maintaining the balance between tradition and innovation, securing a future for both the environment and the art of beverage production.   #bousinage #climatechange #oakgroves #sustainability #oenologicalproducts #chips #cubes #ESG #wineindustry #spiritsindustry #forestconservation #sustainablepractices #winemaking #distillation #alternative #technology #innovation

Thrilled to have wine on tap from reusable steel kegs included in this extensive guide to being a more sustainable wine drinker from Wine Spectator! "When dining out, wine on tap is a great option. A typical 19.5-liter steel keg holds 26 bottles worth of wine and has a lifespan of up to 30 years, according to Sonoma-based Free Flow Wines, which kegs wine for more than 150 producers, including prestigious names such as Paul Hobbs Winery, Ken Wright Cellars and Ridge Vineyards. GOTHAM PROJECT WINE WORKS LLC, an East Coast wine producer that also imports and kegs overseas brands, estimates that one keg eliminates the use of about 3,000 bottles." Much love to Sixty Vines for all their incredible support in helping show fellow On-Premise operators and consumers what's possible when you think outside of the bottle.

Wine filtration is a crucial step in the winemaking process, ensuring clarity, stability, and quality. Here are the main stages involved: Clarification: This initial step removes large particles like grape skins, seeds, and pulp. Methods include gravity flow, hand pump, and power pump filtration1. Depth Filtration: After fermentation, the wine is pushed through thick layers of materials like cellulose fibers, diatomaceous earth, or perlite. This helps remove finer particles2. Surface Filtration: The wine passes through a thin membrane to remove even smaller particles and microorganisms. Cross-flow filtration, where the wine runs parallel to the filter surface, minimizes clogging2. Sterile Filtration: This final step ensures the wine is free from any remaining microorganisms, preventing spoilage and extending shelf life3. Each method and stage is tailored to the type of wine and the desired quality, ensuring a clear, stable, and enjoyable final product4.

It’s no secret that we are a nation of beer lovers but producing #beer is not an eco-friendly undertaking. A huge volume of water and amount of energy is needed to brew the stuff and that’s before it’s packaged and transported anywhere. Then there are the byproducts, such as spent grain (it’s estimated that 100 litres of beer generates 20kg of brewer’s spent grain) and wastewater, to contend with. That doesn’t mean you need to give up the good stuff though. Here's how you can help ease the impact on the environment without sacrificing your pint
