Spanish Wine: Rioja to Vienna Distribution
Temperature-monitored ambient transport for premium wines
Wine cooperative, La Rioja
Challenge
Premium Rioja wines require temperature monitoring during transit (ideally 12–20°C). Summer crossings through southern France and Germany risked heat damage. The cooperative needed affordable monitoring without full reefer costs.
SAVA Solution
SAVA provided ambient-monitored trailers with data loggers, sharing temperature readings on delivery. Groupage with compatible food-grade freight kept the wine in ambient monitoring instead of paying for a dedicated reefer.
