Winetech Technical Yearbook 2022

One of Winetech’s key focus areas is the communication of research results, Winetech funded and international, to the South African wine industry. Using various knowledge transfer platforms, we aim to provide the industry with ideas for innovation that can contribute to the industry's sustainability in the long run. One of our technical resources is Winetech Technical, published monthly in WineLand magazine. The Winetech Technical Yearbook combines all the magazine articles published in a calendar year in one book for your convenience. In 2022 we published 50 articles related to grape growing and winemaking in WineLand magazine, covering topics such as Petri disease, leafroll disease, CRISPR, wine sparging, bio-control yeasts, MCC closures and many more. For our wine industry to remain competitive and profitable, constant innovation is vital. We sincerely hope the Winetech Technical articles contribute to greater awareness of innovative possibilities.
