As a very important agricultural activity, wine production generates large amounts of solid organic waste in addition to wastewater, the disposal of which represents a huge ecological challenge as well financial cost for the producers. The by-products that fall behind in such production are pomace (stalks, skins, seeds), wine lees and some parts of the vine. The potential of using stated above as a source of possible biologically active substances can be used in various industries to obtain products for the benefit of life as known to humanity, including other species. This improves the quality of human existence, and Mother Earth becomes less polluted. We should not forget fact that we borrowed the Earth we live on from our descendants and did not inherited it from our ancestors. The Republic of Serbia is also a part of this loop with its participation in wine production and all of the above.
