Self-test2, wine analysis kit for Brettanomyces yeast identification

Description du projet

Outil innovant pour l’auto-analyse du vin

L’industrie vinicole italienne est connue pour ses vins de grande qualité commercialisés dans le monde entier. Cependant, certains problèmes menacent la qualité du vin et engendrent des pertes économiques pour les producteurs. Les brettanomyces sont un genre de levure souvent appelées Brett qui influencent la qualité du vin en affectant sa saveur et son parfum. Le projet Self-Brett 2.0 financé par l’UE, propose un instrument innovant d’auto-analyse du vin abordable, facile à utiliser, rapide et fiable. Le dispositif innovant détecte les brettanomyces à tout moment dans le processus de vinification sans l’intervention de personnel spécialisé ou d’un laboratoire. Le projet vise à développer et à préparer le produit pour un lancement réussi sur les marchés européens et mondiaux.

Objectif

The Italian wine market is a cornerstone of the national agri-food sector and is characterized by increasing high-quality wine demand from consumers. Therefore, issues hindering the achievement of wines able to satisfy all market requirements still occur. Brettanomyces spoilage is one of these and it leads to off-flavours and odor formation that highly affect wine quality, causing serious economic losses. The present innovation concerns the setup of a revolutionary device for Brettanomyces self-detection, hereafter referred to as Self-brett®: an easy to use, quick, reliable and cheap new product. Self-brett® enables anyone to carry out self-analysis on Brettanomyces spoilage at any moment of the wine making process, without requiring the involvement of specialized staff, equipments or LAB facilities. Wine-makers, oenologists, oenological product retailers and producers as well as analytical laboratories will embrace Self-brett® because it represents exactly what the wine market is missing now. GRAPE mission is addressed to translate in market services the technical-scientific knowledge acquired by the founders during their academic carriers. Through the development of Self-brett®, already patented, once again GRAPE shows to be innovative and prompt to fulfill customers’ needs, thus offering the first device for wine self-analysis, available at low price, with the potential to reach the entire wine market. Based on an initial investment of 783.180€ (1st and 2nd yr), GRAPE estimates to sell 420K devices by the end of the second year of commercialization (4th yr) and to reach € 4.235.000 of revenues, corresponding at € 1.130.000 net profits and 29,1% ROI, together with a job growth higher than 180%. GRAPE needs to enter the SME Instrument phase 1 to finalize the Self-brett® development and prepare it for the undoubtedly successful launch on the market: Self-brett® is what all wineries need.
