Field notes on winery software, EU wine compliance, cellar operations, and traceability — from the team building Wineopsys.
A winery ERP runs harvest intake, cellar work, lab, compliance, and sales on one ledger-backed source of truth instead of scattered, editable spreadsheets.
Harvest intake is a winery's most important data: what to record at the weighbridge, why block-level provenance matters, and how it flows downstream.
Why cellar records belong in an append-only movement ledger, not editable spreadsheet cells: provable stock, painless audits, and corrections that keep history.
Wine traceability links every cellar action to vessels and lots as data, so you can trace a bottle back to its vineyard block — and scope a recall — in minutes.
Moldova's indigenous grapes — Fetească Albă, Regală and Neagră, Rară Neagră and aromatic Viorica: how each tastes, its style, and what to pair it with.
EU wine must declare ingredients and nutrition since December 2023. What stays on the bottle, what a QR e-label carries, and how to stop the data drifting.
How barrel aging works: French vs American oak, new vs neutral, toast levels, barrel formats, the angels' share, hygiene, cost and per-barrel record-keeping.
Wine as identity in the world's most vine-dense country: the casa mare, home cellars, National Wine Day, Cricova's tunnels and Moldova's quality revival.
What sulfites (SO₂) do in wine, free vs total SO₂, EU limits by wine type, the natural-wine debate, allergen labelling, and whether they really cause headaches.
