Gintec ProGuard Ice Wine Loss Savings
When you do the math, Gintec ProGuard doesn't cost, it saves!!
Mechanically harvesting Ice Wine has many advantages over hand picking but
not all nets are the same. If you could pay for your netting in the first
year just on what you normally lose, wouldn't you think about buying it?

Sample Calculation, Vidal in Niagara

Loss
|
Average Yield 8-12+ tons/acre (assume 8 ton / acre)
|
8 tons/acre
|
|
Average loss vs. large hole netting
20-50% (assume 15%)
|
8 tons/acre x 15%= 1.2 tons loss per acre
|
Average yield per ton of Grapes
200-350 L/ton (assume 150 L/ton)
|
1.2 ton x 150 L/ton = 180 L loss
|
|
Price per L $15-20 (assume $15 / L)
|
180 L x $15.00 = $2700/acre loss
|
$2700.00 per acre will more than pay for the netting in the first year alone!
This does not even take into consideration the speed at which our netting can
be harvested and the labour savings from going over vineyard hand picking
behind the harvester.
The ease of installation and removal (if required), storage, longevity of
the netting and the versatility makes Gintec ProGuard a great investment!
Imagine if you pressed 250 L/ton and was paid $17.00 per L, you would get an
extra $5,100.00 per acre! Estimated numbers are conservative and individual
results can be and have been much better!
