Saxony-Anhalt LIFE VinEcoS – project nominated for the LIFE AWARDS 2022! – Please vote!
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear winemakers,
one of 12 finalists was Saxony-Anhalt LIFE VinEcoS – project for the LIFE AWARDS 2022 nominated. You can also use the link until May 29, 2022 https://www.lifeawards.eu/project/life-vinecos/ Cast your vote for our project. Thank you very much for your support. You are welcome to share the link.
The background to the already completed LIFE VinEcoS project was the global climate crisis, which also affects the Saale-Unstrut wine-growing region. The Landgesellschaft Sachsen-Anhalt, the Landesweingut Kloster Pforta, the JENA-GEOS® engineering office and the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences had set themselves the goal of significantly increasing biodiversity in the vineyard and thus resilience by greening vineyard lanes with drought-resistant wild plant species to significantly strengthen this ecosystem. Compared to conventional grass seeding, the diverse vegetation ensures more effective protection against erosion and represents less water competition for the vines. The flowering vegetation offers sources of nectar and pollen for wild bees and other beneficial insects and delights winegrowers and those seeking relaxation with the colorful flowering aspect. In another project, LIFE VineAdapt, these findings are currently being successfully implemented in wine-growing regions in Germany, France, Austria and Hungary. More information about the ongoing project can be found at www.life-vineadapt.eu.
Best regards
Daniel Elijah

Press release on the Slow Food fair "Market of Good Taste"
Enjoying wine with a clear conscience
Sustainable wines at the Slow Food Fair "Market of Good Taste" in Stuttgart
"Good-clean-fair” is the central motto and the requirement that Slow Food places on food and its production. At the "Market of Good Taste" from 21.-24. April 2022 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center this year, the term "sustainability" will be added to wine.
dr Nina Wolff, Chairwoman of Slow Food Germany eV: “Slow Food Germany was founded 30 years ago. It is time that we sensitize our visitors to sustainably produced wines. Because viticulture has to make its contribution to climate protection and species protection and reduce plant protection. Fungus-resistant grape varieties have a key function here. We want consumers to get acquainted with these high-quality wines and break down reservations.”
Visitors can embark on a taste experience (for most of them completely new). The German regional group of PIWI International is presenting more than 30 wines from resistant grape varieties in Hall 4 at Stand D100.
Benefit from the PIWI boom - podcast from the art of selling wine with Alexander Morandell
In diesem Interview spricht Diego mit dem derzeitigen Präsidenten von PIWI International und Rebveredler Alexander Morandell über das Vermarktungspotenzial der neuen Rebsorten und ihre ökonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen auf den Weinbau.
PIWI Germany receives sustainability award
Fungus-resistant grape varieties excellent
Sustainability award to PIWI Deutschland eV
The 2022 sustainability prize is awarded to the PIWI Deutschland eV association in the viticulture category. When making its decision, the jury of experts from research, consulting and practice examined the applications for their ecological, social and economic contribution to sustainability. Every year, the award goes to products, developments and services that support winegrowers in their sustainable management. The competition is organized by the Association of Former Oppenheimer Fachschulen (VEO), the Service Center for Rural Areas Rheinhessen-Nahe-Hunsrück (Oppenheim) and Rheinhessenwein eV (Alzey).
Geisenheim sales analysis
Die Geisenheimer digitale Absatzanalyse wertet die Absatzdaten von Weingütern, Kellereien und Genossenschaften aus, um den Betrieben einen Vergleich zu anderen Betrieben zu ermöglichen und der Branche zuverlässige Informationen zu geben. Die Daten sind geschützt. Niemand, außer den Teilnehmenden selbst, hat Zugang zu den eigenen Daten. Andere Betriebe sehen nur verrechnete, aggregierte Daten über viele Betriebe hinweg.
Es wird eine intuitiv verständliche, grafisch aufbereitete Analyse des eigenen Absatzes erstellt. Auch durch die Gegenüberstellung mit Vergleichsgruppen erhält man stets aktuellen Zugang zu Trends und Entwicklungen auf dem deutschen Weinmarkt.
Der Hauptfokus der Auswertung liegt auf folgenden Gebieten:
- Absatzentwicklung, Absatzkanäle
- Preissetzung und Entwicklung
- Neukundengewinnung, Wiederkaufrate, Durchschnittsbon
- Entwicklung der Rebsorten – besonders wichtig für den Überblick des Absatzes an PIWI Weinen! Zum Geisenheimer Portal

The Piwis from Lake Constance - an interview with Benni Lanz
Benni Lanz ist Betriebsleiter des Weinguts Lanz in Nonnenhorn am Bodensee und gehört zu den jungen Winzern, die in der eher unbekannten Weinbauregion Bayerischer Bodensee neue Wege gehen. Schritt für Schritt krempelt er den elterlichen Hof vom landwirtschaftlichen Mischbetrieb zum biologisch arbeitenden Weingut um. Mit ungewöhnlichen Mitteln: In der klimatisch schwierigen Bodenseeregion setzt er konsequent auf pilzwiderstandsfähige Rebsorten (Piwis). Mit Verraten und Verkauft hat Benni über Klima, Boden, Vermarktung und Vorurteile gegenüber den neuen Rebsorten gesprochen.
Verraten und Verkauft: Benni, ihr habt schon früh mit der Weinlese begonnen, trotz der eher schwierigen Witterung dieses Jahr. Warum?
Benni: Solaris war dran. Weil Regen angesagt war, holten wir ihn schon früher.
Da sind wir schon an dem Punkt, der wahrscheinlich am häufigsten gefragt wird, wenn es ums Weingut Lanz geht: Den Piwi-Rebsorten. Liegt der frühe Lesebeginn an den pilzresistenten Rebsorten, die ihr gepflanzt habt?
Ja, das Pflanzen von Piwi-Rebsorten war für uns eine klimatisch-regionale Entscheidung. Wir haben hier am Bodensee häufig Pilzwetter. Es ist feucht und warm mit hohem Pilzdruck. In schwierigen Jahren haben wir dank der Piwis einen kleinen Vorsprung. Bei uns wird es auch dieses Jahr im Ertrag voraussichtlich nur eine kleine Delle nach unten geben.
Shaping sustainable change in the wine industry – 64th International DWV Congress in April
“We would like to discuss in detail the aspects and measures for sustainable production and marketing in viticulture with the industry. The topic is very topical for our sector - not only the effects of climate change and the resulting extreme weather such as heavy rain, periods of drought or late frosts, but also the demand for a reduction in pesticides or dwindling resources draw the focus to the topic of sustainability. Current discussions in politics and society about the promotion of organic production or changes in marketing also require us to deal with this topic of change and sustainability. Of course, in addition to the ecological aspects, the economic and social aspects must not be forgotten!” says DWV Secretary General Christian Schwörer.
The congress will be held digitally from April 11th to 13th.
Registrations are expected to be available from March on the congress homepage at www.dwv-kongress.de possible.
