Article Abstract:
Grands Vins de Gironde (GVG) has engaged in a long-term significant investment scheme for the modernisation of its conditioning process and storage management on its 32,000 m site at Saint-Loubes (Gironde). GVG owns three bottling lines. The first one has an output of 6,000 bottles per hour and is expected to go up to 8,000 bottles per hour thanks to technical improvements. The second one has an output of 9,500 bottles. The company's last investment of EUR 1.37mn was used to replace the third bottling line which integrates the HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) norms, and which has an output of 10,000 bottles per hour. This line also has the advantage of dealing with the whole process of treatment: filling the bottles automatically, corking, sealing and standard adhesive labeling.
