Quality Control is built into every step of our service
Outstanding Quality Control is a crucial part of being the production partner of our clients. At Globus Wine, we never de-emphasize the importance of excellent Quality Control and the responsibility that follows. We use the analyses to oversee our processes, so we can rest assured that we deliver only high quality service to our clients.
Our laboratory uses FOSS WineScan™ for numerous analyses. The wine scan provides easy access to analytical data and gives us reliable results to be used in further quality inspection.
We use FOSS WineScan™ to measure:
- Alcohol
- Residual sugar
- Density
- Carbondioxid
- pH
- Total Acid
- Volatile Acid
Furthermore, the sulfur dioxide content of the wines is analyzed by titration at different stages of the process.
Our analyzing practice
The wine, at arrival
Our laboratory compares the reference sample with the bulk deliverance on various parameters. One is the measurement of turbidity. The laboratory uses a colour and haze spectrophotometer to determine how clear the liquid is according to Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) measurements.
The wine, before filling
Before the wine is filled in bottles or boxes, it goes through a preparation process defined by the requirements of the producer and the authorities. The content of sulfur and CO2 are adjusted if necessary.
The finished product
After filling, random samples from all the filling heads are analyzed as part of our sample plan. In addition, we perform a microbiological test in order to identify unwanted fermentation, mold, or bacteria. At last, our cellar master and sommelier will do a sensory evaluation to make sure the wine has the right quality and taste.
The production environment
Keeping a production environment of good hygienic standard is critical for our processes. Our QC laboratory routinely monitors that the Globus Wine hygiene rules are implemented in all areas of reception, production, and warehousing. Also, to verify the effect of our cleaning and sterilization processes, our QC laboratory routinely takes swab samples from critical parts of the filling line for microbiological analysis.
