Buon Vino has a long history of serving the needs of home and small industrial winemakers. Original founder Fred Tudisco has been producing electric wine filters for more than 25 years. His original designs were sold to small winemakers throughout southern Ontario, replacing the more conventional hand pumps and gravity-fed systems of the time.

Fred established Buon Vino Manufacturing Incorporated in 1981. Its first flag-ship product, the Super Jet, was a small, motorized filtration unit marketed towards the ever-growing small winemaker market. The introduction of the Super Jet coincided with the joining of Peter Tudisco to the family business. As Fred's son, Peter had long been exposed to his father's work, helping him on a part-time basis for a number of years. Upon joining his father, Peter became responsible for marketing and administration of the business while Fred remained in charge of the manufacturing process he most enjoyed.
Throughout
the 1980's and early 90's, Buon Vino has increased its manufacturing
and distribution process to include all aspects of the small wine
making market. It has entered the global marketplace with the introduction
of its products to such countries as France, Italy and Taiwan. The
Mini Jet, a compact and affordable wine filter for the small batch
home winemaker, now complements the Super Jet in Buon Vino's product
line.
When Anthony,
Fred's younger son joined Buon Vino in 1993, a new era in the company
soon developed. With the purchase of plastic injection moulding equipment
overseen by Anthony, the manufacturing sector of the company further
expanded. Products were developed, redesigned and improved, as Buon
Vino continuously strives to enhance the quality and ease of winemaking
for the home winemaker.
Fred continues
to work in the shop even though semi-retired. Peter now leads the company
as President and, joined by his brother Anthony as Vice President, is
moving Buon Vino Manufacturing forward in the new millennium. The company
continues to diversify with the introduction of injection moulding to
the manufacturing plant, allowing Buon Vino to increase the quality
of their parts and products.
