Making Wine in France

Wine is a key part of the French culture and of its economy, worth some €40b per annum. Faced with intense international competition, vineyards are driven to increase the quality of their wine.

Oenoview, a service based on satellite data, is helping growers decide when
to harvest and how to blend their grapes to produce higher quality wine. In addition, growers can lower costs and optimise and reduce their use of fertiliser.

Today, around 1% of the wine-makers in France subscribe to the service increasing their revenue by €1m to €2m
each year – which is expected to increase substantially over the next few years. As well as generating more revenue for the growers, increased business helps cement rural communities and develop a higher quality of living for their citizens.
