Adegga’s Team Visit

Posted by Jose Eduardo on Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 at 14:40

We finally managed to organize the visit of part of the Adegga.com team, André Ribeirinho and Emídio Santos, to Cortes de Cima despite being very busy with the ongoing harvest. They represent a new generation of wine enthusiasts with a good level of knowledge and, above all, new ideas and projects that deserve our attention.

After a tour of the winery, our guests enjoyed a motorized “safari” through the vineyard guided by António Claúdio and followed by an amazing flight with Hans, who wished to show our guests a different perspective of the vineyard. At landing there was happiness in their faces.

And then we finally started working – a detailed presentation of the Adegga project – on which we are already a Premium member and an example. There’s another interesting project related to this one, the creation of a Unique Code for each wine, like an ISBN for books. It’s called AVINIt’s a very interesting project that also includes a mobile code. This mobile code puts together a visual code, like a barcode, the QR Code, , and the AVIN unique code. A QR Code contains a link to access information about a specific wine on Adegga.com. This way information about a wine can easily be accessed with any mobile phone requiring only a free application that recognizes the code. It’s as simple as taking a picture and following the link that will take you to the wine information.

So, we have invited André and Emídio to use our wines as Guinea pigs for a few pilot tests. The first of these will take place on the 24th October, during Vinipax in Beja, and if all goes as planned we will be doing a second test during the Encontro com o Vinho e Encontro com os Sabores, that will happen at Junqueira in Lisbon.

We will give more news about these tests around that time!

See you soon!
