This powerful decision-making tool examines the financial issues for developing and operating a small to medium sized vineyard from set-up through to the bottling and distribution of the wine. Issues are presented in a logical and sequential manner in the manual to ensure that all items with a financial impact in a new or existing vineyard are considered. Financial forecasts can be made using VineFlow a computer model based on Microsoft Excel which uses all the variable inputs from vineyard operations to determine development costs and cash-flow projections over a considerable period of time. VineFlow is on CD-ROM and is included with the manual.
