30 WINES&VINES February 2017 PRODUCT NEWS approach differs from other mi- cro-oxygenation technologies in that it remains true to the mo- lecular osmosis that happens during oak barrel maturation, rather than bubbling oxygen in from a sinter (diffuser) at the bottom of the tank," says Wine Grenade CEO Hamish Elmslie. winegrenade.com Stormwater drain system Bio-Microbics calls its d-Rain Joint Rainwater Filter Drain a low-cost system that is also a sustainable option for stormwa- ter management. According to the supplier, the d-Rain joint in- stalls and looks similar to a standard expansion joint used in concrete slabs yet provides a gap slightly smaller than 1 inch to allow water to flow through to subsurface drainage. The sys- tem was named a top product for 2017 by buildinggreen.com. biomicrobics.com Social media management tools Avero acquired the winery social media software developed by VinTank and is relaunching it as AveroBuzz.
