National

Vine & Wine PT - Driving Sustainable Growth Through Smart Innovation

Coordinator: Jorge Dias

UTAD/CITAB Coordinator: Raul Manuel Pereira Morais dos Santos

This project aims to foster energy transitions, digital innovativation and value throughout Portugal’s vine and wines value chain. This will be achieved by developing and deploying mainly TRL9 innovations that will be the key to fostering a sustainable and environmental-friendly production chain and respective labels for the identified products. Moreover, the project will lead to an improvement in environmental responsibility and accountability, which will create the added benefit of attracting national and international consumers – who are increasingly aware that their commercial choices can lead to significant changes in industrial and agricultural practices.
In a summary analysis of the key points critical to solving the major current problems of the National Wine and Vine sector (extendable also to other wine-producing player countries), the greatest proof of the synergies between the consortium members of this Agenda can be given by the simultaneous participation of the consortiummembers in one or several R&D and Productive Innovation projects, framed in 3 key areas:

 Sustainability:
o Zero carbon, decarbonisation and green economy;
o Energy spent on harvest and vineyard work, fuel processing and hybridisation;
o Waste-free vertical chain
o Recycling and reuse of water;
o Circular economy.

 Automation, innovation and production efficiency:
o Robotisation and dronetisation;
o Intelligent wineries of the future.

 New processes and new products:
o New enology production processes;
o New materials;
o New wines: soft drinks from the exploration of wine aromas, new types of wine, wines with a lower alcoholic degree, wines in packages with a lower carbon footprint.
