Global Risk Index and Metrics

WineRisk pioneers a comprehensive global risk index and risk metrics for 7500+ wine regions, uniting engineers, scientists, and wine enthusiasts. By dissecting historic and potential hazards, including frost, earthquakes, floods, hail, and climate shifts, we unveil the total risks to the wine industry.

Vulnerability Analysis

With cutting-edge models, we assess winery components' vulnerability, scrutinizing everything from storerooms to steel tanks. We fuse exposure estimates from global wine research with hazard models, rendering tailored risk evaluations for individual wineries or portfolios.

Effective Mitigation and Insurance Options

WineRisk doesn't stop at risk assessment. We examine mitigation strategies such as hail nets, frost fans, and reinforced infrastructure, quantifying benefits versus costs for swift decision-making and insurance options.
