“Even a 100$ bike gets a lock, why should your wine stay unprotected?”
The story of this successful innovation started with this simple question: Are we careless when it comes to wine storage and aging? In a wine cellar, a lot of time and money is invested, but is it safe for wine?
Gregory & Franck are two brothers passionate about wine and lucky enough to be born in Burgundy and raised in Rhône.
But it’s 5 000 km away in Canada, that wine gained a sentimental value for Franck and a reminder of all the good moments with his family in France.
Having a space to import its wine collection, Franck wanted to have real time and accurate monitoring of temperature and humidity because of the extreme weather in Montreal.
Both being engineers (electronics and software) they came up with this crazy challenge to reproduce a natural cave from Burgundy in Franck’s basement. They felt that the internet approach of things could help to virtually “teleport” a climate. But the magic happened when they finally cracked the algorithm of the temperature in a natural cave!
Then working closely with winemakers and scientists around the world (France, Italy and Canada), they discovered that a seasonal pattern was not only energy efficient but also naturally good for wine aging. They founded the startup in 2013, because they wanted to connect more wine enthusiasts (amateurs or professionals) with the full potential of their wine while being good to the planet.
Started in a basement, they now work with world-class sommeliers & winemakers.
“2013, CANADA, World Premiere : A wine cellar in a restaurant of Quebec reproduces climate of a Champagne 30 feet deep cave!”
“They signed a restaurant in the prestigious WineSpectator list of Best of Award of Excellence wine cellar with 2.5 million dollars inventory and 16 000 bottles.”
Acclaimed by the wine world, the winetech will be also available on a new wine cellar and promising storing solutions through CAVAVIN products.
Coming in 2016, stay tuned.
