In a climate that is increasingly unpredictable, the challenge for every winemaker is twofold: to protect the unique imprint of the local terroir and to achieve remarkable consistency in the glass. Discover how modern biosolutions become the winery’s invisible allies, offering predictability to the process precisely so that the identity of Romanian grape varieties can come to light.

What happens when malolactic fermentation must start in a wine with low pH, high alcohol or increased microbiological pressure? In difficult conditions, the difference can be made by the culture's ability to adapt to the environment. Viniflora™ Sparta™ was developed precisely for these situations, offering the winemaker greater flexibility in managing ML fermentation.

Modern consumers are no longer looking for taste alone. They are seeking foods and beverages that deliver real health benefits, from digestive support to immune health. Research shows that 51% of consumers are interested in products offering digestive and immune system benefits. (Novonesis study, Source: Mintel GNPD, August 2022–July 2023, US)

The ready-to-drink (RTD) functional beverages market is becoming increasingly competitive, and differentiation no longer comes solely from taste or packaging. Consumers are looking for products that deliver real functional benefits, and probiotics are already among their top preferences.

The probiotics market has evolved rapidly in recent years. Alongside this growth, however, a major challenge has emerged for manufacturers: how do you choose an ingredient that not only promises value, but consistently delivers it – from production through to the end consumer?

In a market where functional foods – such as snacks, protein bars and cereals – are rapidly becoming a standard rather than a differentiator, the question is no longer whether these products provide additional health benefits, but how relevant and credible these benefits are for consumers.
