Sustainable wine production is becoming more and more important for many wine producers and consumers who like a 'Igood drop?1. Waste water management plays a significant role here. For the vintner, conscious handling of water resources means considerable saving potential and for tourists and nature there are further advantages. SUSTAVINO, an EU project which is coordinated by ttz Bremerhaven and soon to end, makes efficient waste water management possible. In addition, SUSTAVINO has included the development of a quality seal which is used to label sustainably produced wine. The 38-month SUSTAVINO project, the subject of which is integrated and sustainable wine production in Europe, is drawing to a successful close. In the course of the project, ttzBremerhaven developed a strategy with which to improve comprehensively the sustainability of vineyards. This comprises the following modules: Waste reduction, decrease of water consumption, waste water treatment and re-use, as well as waste treatment and valorisation. After a test phase on a laboratory scale, the treatment and valorization processes were put into practice on a pilot scale in four European vineyards.
