The plant : Vine is a well-known, woody, climbing plant whose stems can reach six meters in length. The flowers, small and greenish to white, are grouped in inflorescences and their fruits are berries grouped in clusters (grapes). The seeds of these berries are pips.
Vine has been grown for thousands of years in Europe, western Asia (Middle East, Caucasus) and northern Africa. The species is cultivated for its fruits, which are eaten fresh as table grapes, dried as raisins, or fermented to produce wine.

Upcycling of by-products : a production in advance for circular economy
The wine industry has been involved and organized for several decades to offer to us a large number of natural ingredients and products: wines, juices, concentrates and natural sugars, brandies, alcohols, tartaric acid and cream of tartar, oils, polyphenols of different types and activities, biocontrol compounds, composts and amendments, bioethanol, bioenergy in particular.
The wine sector thus valorizes almost all of its by-products and it continues to evolve by combining new technologies and innovation to respond to diversified and demanding markets.

Located in the heart of the vineyard of South of France, GREEN'ING has always been keen to offer products from this exemplary sector. We come ourselves from a family of winegrowers and are proud to contribute to this regional bio-economy.
