wine without alcohol, a booming product among consumers, is one of the cradles in Galicia, thanks to a logistics company based in the polygon Sergude in Boqueixón, that began last year marketing the first variety Galician this product.
Specifically, the group released Elive has nine types of wine without alcohol both domestic and abroad, with a total production which exceeded the current year and a half a million bottles.
addition, the firm's R & D, directed by Ramón Bodenlle biologist, has thirteen workers and expects to market this year 1.5 million bottles and achieve a turnover of 2.5 million euros, increased almost fivefold the balance achieved in 2009.
Under the name of Raisin D'Or, the company was founded two years ago in the Technological Park of Galicia, Ourense, where he still keeps the area from drying out, the bottling plant and laboratory. The first shuttle Sergude polygon was conducted in early 2009 with the purchase of the first ship, store and last year they started expanding its facilities to transfer and consolidate the process Boqueixón.
Headquarters of Sergude aims to be the major springboard for the company, according to its leaders. "We're presenting in stages. The first was to reach the consumer, who is showing very receptive. In a second step we searched the market entry of an alternative, and found that the degree of acceptance is high. In ten consumdiores, 68% is accepted as normal and friendly consumption, "says Ramon Bodenlle, adding that although it is regarded with" suspicion "by the sommeliers," between the presidents of the regulator of the wines of Galicia and some winemakers have been very well received. "
market
Apart Galician, which distributes 20% of the Group's production, Catalonia and Valencia are two areas of expansion for the company preferred. In addition, the wines also come to other communities such as Madrid, Murcia, Asturias and Andalusia, while outside of Spain, the varieties of the company were sold in Japan, Canada, Morocco, Dubai, Morocco and UAE, among others. In this regard, two short-term objectives are England and the United States.
PROCESS
To develop different types of wine, as explained by its managers, the company follows a drying-out process that derives to submit wines to smooth and controlled increments of pressure and temperature below 36 degrees Celsius, which can remove the alcohol without changing the other characteristics of the original product. Thus, according Bodenlle, "not lost the cardiovascular benefits of traditional wine, plus have 80% fewer calories, a big plus for the health of consumers."
In this connection, the health benefits of the products of the Galician group were tested under the Nutritherapy project, promoted by the European Union to measure the quality of different foods.
In this sense, we chose Galician variety of this company because it makes a selection of grapes to produce their output based on its content in resveratrol, a substance that causes a 30% increase in the average length of life of mice and cells yeast, and a 59% increase in certain short-lived fish, according to findings published some years ago by Harvard professor David Sinclair.
