Global Wine Region Exposure

Around 7500 wine regions are named and geolocated globally through our database. 1400 types of wine are split globally across the different wineries and regions.

Winemakers worldwide face staggering losses due to natural disasters, eroding revenues, grapes, and building stocks. Enter WineRisk: an innovative product spearheaded by Risklayer GmbH around a decade ago, building on its own expertise as well as including the knowledge of a diverse team from the University of Adelaide, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and esteemed research institutions across Europe and Australia.

  • 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.

From Burgundy's hail-ravaged vintages to seismic-prone landscapes through Chile and California to the bushfire smoke of vineyards around Adelaide, WineRisk empowers wineries and companies to preempt losses. Safeguard your passion with our rapid yet robust risk assessment, and insurance solutions, ensuring that your vintage remains untarnished amidst the unpredictable forces of nature.
