Wines of Crete is a Winemakers’ Association with 36 members, representing more than 95% of Cretan wineries. Through the EU Photonics Accelerator Programme, Wines of Crete was supported in conducting a feasibility study on monitoring and sensing techniques for the characterisation of oak barrels used in wine ageing, on behalf of their members.

The feasibility study enabled this non-profit organisation to work with two international research institutes: The Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) in Greece and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Belgium. With the expertise of FORTH and VUB, Wines of Crete had the opportunity to experiment with advanced monitoring techniques and their potential in enabling members of the cluster progress towards more efficient use of oak barrels and improved control over wine quality.
