YOUR OWN WINERY STARTING FROM 1 HEKTAR

CROSS COMPANY USE OF MACHINERY MAKES IT POSSIBLE

A certain minimum size is required for professional devices in wine production. For example, a wine press with investment costs of up to 100 000 euros can process one hectare of vines or about 5 to 10 000 bottles within 3 hours. The machine is not used for the rest of the year.

A tractor – no matter how small – has acquisition costs of around 50 to 100 000 euros and is used around 30 to 40 working hours a year per hectare of vines. The machine is therefore not used for 51 of the 52 weeks a year.

The above data mean that in the production of grapes and in the production of wine, machines and personnel should be used through cross-company use.

We offer you this possibility with our AX project.

The average yield per hectare of vines varies between 4,000 and 10,000 bottles, depending on the variety and quality.

The acquisition costs per hectare of vineyard including planting are 150 thousand euros per hectare. The cost of a planting without land purchase is 50,000 euros. The production costs until the first harvest are included and are part of the investment. This means that there are no management costs or rent in the first few years, as these are covered by the investment fee.
