    03  Rail Freight – A balanced alternative

    High safety levels, excellent CO2 balance and daily reporting visibility are the main benefits of rail freight. With lower transport costs than air and faster transit times than ocean, railway transportation is a balanced alternative.

    How to control the associated risks during transportation?

    In wine transport, there are two main factors – temperature and humidity - that need to be controlled during storage and transportation in order to maintain the original taste of wine. In summer, higher temperatures can cause irreversible deterioration, while winter’s freezing temperatures can easily damage the bottle body and affect the cork’s seal.
