The aim of the Winetech study groups is not only to transfer knowledge, but also to increase and stimulate productivity in a practical and holistic manner.
The subjects discussed in the study groups differ from year to year and during 2018 the focus is on cellar hygiene; stabilisation of wine and bottling procedures. The facilitators Nomonde Kubheka and Charl Theron present the study groups in the different regions.
Participation is free of charge and semi-literate cellar assistants are welcome to attend as well.
Winetech Study Group 1 in Stellenbosch
The first Winetech study groups, presented to Afrikaans and Xhosa groups, were recently concluded. Cellar hygiene was discussed during these sessions and aspects such as what is cellar hygiene; why is it important and the different cleaning agents and equipment was discussed. A faulty wine, compared with a control wine, was tasted during these sessions.
The stabilisation of wines will be discussed during the second series of the Winetech study groups. The bottling processes will be discussed during the third study groups.
