Global solutions, powered by French Innovation
Inno’vin, a unique vine and wine innovation network in France, based in Bordeaux and Cognac, supports innovative projects and business development of the wine industry ecosystem. At this year’s Vineyard and Winery Show, you’ll find Four innovative French supplier companies showcasing their expertise at the Inno’vin stand – J5 John Hendry Pavilion. These key players provide turnkey solutions for your production needs from the vineyard to the cellar, through different technologies.
At the Inno’vin stand, you’ll find:
· Belhomme: Gentle on vines, tough on weeds! Since 1990, Belhomme has specialised in vineyard equipment, creating functional and gentle undervine care systems powered by their unique low power hydraulic system.
More than tools, Belhomme provides unmatched expertise in soil and vine care, offering winegrowers reliable mechanical undervine weed trimmer alternatives to chemicals, adaptable to tractors, straddle or crawler tractors and recently robots.
· S. Delafont Barrels designs innovative stainless-steel barrels ideal for ageing, micro-vinification and storage. They enhance wines, reveal the terroir effect, and bring complexity and length. Ideal for parcel selections, they offer durability, low water consumption, aesthetics, and ease of use: a tool perfectly suited for winemakers and wine tourism. This year, look out for an oxygenation cane that allows oxygen to be added very naturally, day after day.
· Praysbee has been designing eco-responsible, adaptable, and innovative spraying equipment since 2021. Our Wulp® boom, compatible with all sprayers, reduces drift by up to 90% thanks to its oscillating projected jet system. Wulp® introduces a true shift in the spraying paradigm, offering an oscillating system without air assistance, based on two complementary micronization nozzles set at specific angles and moved mechanically. This mechanism enables deeper penetration of plant protection products into the crop canopy, with 15% more deposition compared to conventional air-assisted systems.
· Vivelys supports winemakers in creating unique aromatic profiles. Their expertise spans precision oenology equipment for controlling fermentations, premium oenological oak, microbiology solutions, and micro-oxygenation, with a company essence on innovation. Look out for the ECOLYS yeast fermenter (+40% reduction in spending for active dry yeasts and a protocol for securing or automating second fermentation), BOISE (premium oenological oak), Innovation BOISE ABSOLU (The natural purity of oak and cherrywood in drops) and KYP® (all-in-one digital cellar notebook, designed to simplify fermentation and ageing).
