Genomics sciences guarantees better results in the art of winemaking

While the art of fine **winemaking** is a beautiful thing, winemakers are increasingly turning to the power of science to give them the **tools** they need to ensure a high **quality** pour each and every time. Thanks to **innovative** new research funded by Genome Canada and Genome British Columbia, help is on the way. The research will harness the power of **genomics** to unlock fundamental gene functions within **grapevine** and **yeast cells**, ultimately helping growers and winemakers to improve wine production techniques and enjoy valuable cost savings in an industry that has seen $4.2 billion in sales in Canada alone.
