Bottle Sampler
Analysis of bottled wine without risk of contamination
Oenological relevance
The bottle sampler will enable you to :
- Control oxygen supply in order to guarantee, maximum stability of free SO2 in bottled wine
- Monitor the correct functioning of the conditioning material as well as the respect of good work habits by the team in place
- Manage the variability during bottling in respect to the discontinuous functioning of a production line
- Verify the stability of the product when launching on the market
Advantage
- Analyses wine in its bottle under controlled atmosphere
- The only tool capable of taking a wine sample no matter what the type of bottle or closure
- No need to push the cork into the bottle even before spring back
- Ideal for measuring dissolved oxygen immediately after corking
Measure of dissolved oxygen in 4 steps
Inspired by the work published by M. Moutounet and J.P. Mazauric in the "Feuillet Vert" Nº 1085 of OIV "dosage of micro quantities of dissolved oxygen in wines".
- Place the Bottle
- Pierce the cork (or cap)
- Scan using the nitrogen measuring system - point zero
- Push the wine into the measuring system
- Piercing of the cork or screw cap is performed by nitrogen scanning, using a special bit.
- Cork, synthetic material, and aluminium chips are pushed by the flow of nitrogen and discharged.
- The sampling needle connected to sensors is placed, under nitrogen atmosphere, in the head space
- Nitrogen scanning is performed in all the sampling and analyzing system in order to eliminate traces of oxygen in the ambient air
- The sampling needle is then pushed into the bottle.
- Finally the wine is pushed, by nitrogen. into the system towards the sensors.
- All operations are performed visually behind the protection of a plexiglass shield
