ABOUT Winecrush converts wine-making derivatives into a natural food enhancer using a patent pending bio-mechanical process. Our enhancer improves the flavour and increases the nutrient value of meats, plant-based proteins, cereals, sauces and dairy products. It also can be used to lower sodium and replace artificial preservatives. We also are lowering the wine-making carbon footprint as wasted derivatives emit up to 45 kg of methane per tonne if sent to the landfill. Although we are piloting the process in the Sunny Okanagan, it can be replicated and scaled up to fit any wine region.
