Matévi, the vitivinicultural equipment database
Matévi contains a wealth of information on vineyard and winegrowing machinery, their roles, their uses, their effectiveness and how to check that they are working properly. It can be used to study, choose and advise on these devices and equipment.
Developed by the Vinopôle Bordeaux-Aquitaine in partnership with the MSA (Mutualité Sociale Agricole) and with the support of the Vitirev programme, Matévi lists most of the vine-growing and wine-producing equipment available on the French market in the form of detailed technical data sheets, which must be validated by their respective manufacturers.
This site provides practical information for choosing vine-growing and wine-producing equipment, backed up wherever possible by the results of test benches run by official, neutral bodies.
A catalogue of wine-growing equipment enhanced by technical presentations from our experts
Matévi lists more than 1,700 data sheets on winegrowing equipment, updated by the manufacturers themselves: sprayers, tractors, soil cultivation tools, leaf strippers, grape harvesting equipment, oenological equipment, etc
At the same time, our experts give details for each category of equipment, its technical components, how it works and how to use it: engine, driving position, working speed, adjustment, flow rate, maintenance, etc

The Bordeaux-Aquitaine Vinopôle
The Vinopôle Bordeaux-Aquitaine is a centre for applied research and training in viticulture and oenology. Its main mission is to transfer the results of winegrowing experiments carried out to winegrowers in Aquitaine.The Vinopôle Bordeaux-Aquitaine is an alliance of skills between the Gironde Chamber of Agriculture, the Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin (IFV), AgroCampus Bordeaux-Gironde and two interprofessional bodies: the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux and the Interprofession des Vins de Bergerac et Duras.
The experiments cover all aspects of viticulture and oenology, from planting to bottling. The work carried out by the experts responds to the major challenges facing the wine industry and covers a number of different areas:
- agro-ecology: reducing inputs, preserving biodiversity in the vineyard, soil management, combating various vine diseases or pests and vine decline are at the heart of the experiments carried out at the Vinopôle.
- climate change is a major concern for the winegrowing industry and requires farms to adapt. The Vinopôle is actively working on solutions to combat climatic hazards (frost, hail, etc.), as well as on carbon storage in soils..
- planting material: research into resistant varieties is one of Vinopôle's priorities, as it will play a part in the viticulture of the future (rootstocks, varietal selection, management methods....)
- oenology : a number of experiments are being carried out on the quality of the harvest, the different itineraries and processes for making white, rosé and red wines, bottling and the various defects that can be found in wines
- the reduction of viticultural and vinicultural inputs and other by-products.
