Welcome to the August update from our friends at Saxco, on market dynamics in beverage packaging. This update first appeared in August’s Ciatti California Report, which you can find on Substack here.  Despite the macro-economic challenges, the CrowdStrike outage, the geopolitical tensions, and the exciting Olympics, the wine packaging market has remained rather stable for the last month.  However, the US Department of Commerce (Commerce) recently made affirmative preliminary antidumping (AD) determinations regarding glass wine bottles and similar glass bottles (740ml-760ml) imported from China, Mexico, and Chile. As a result of these preliminary findings, imports of in-scope glass bottles will incur AD cash deposit requirements at rates within the ranges indicated below. As with the countervailing duty (CVD) cash deposit requirements announced in May 2024, AD cash deposits represent payments of estimated tariffs, and any final AD tariff liability will be dete

What are Pewter Labels?  Pewter labels are a custom label that can be applied to wine and spirit bottles made of pewter and copper. Pewter is a malleable metal alloy, consisting of a mix of tin, antimony, copper, and bismuth. The labels, while perfect for application to wine and spirit glass bottles, are also ideal for a range of products. We have worked with a number of wineries, distilleries for whisky, vodka, gin, as well as olive oil.  Global Package’s pewter labels adhere easily onto many surfaces, such as glass, ceramics, wood, and cardboard. The result is a package of unequaled refinement, elegance, and aesthetic appeal that distinguishes products from the competition, or may be used within your own ranging to communicate a sense of prestige and luxury to differentiate from your other products The labels can be custom designed, to provide a unique and distinguished appeal to your bottles. The pewter labels can be in the form of the whole label, your brand&rsquo

April 2022 73: 75-92; published ahead of print January 25, 2022 ; DOI: 10.5344/ajev.2021.21035 This article explores the impact of fermentation/maceration temperature on phenolic extraction and chromatic characteristics of three distinct Pinot Noir clones from California's Central Coast. The study revealed that fermentation temperature significantly influenced phenolic extraction, with higher temperatures resulting in increased extraction of phenolic compounds. EnartisFerm D20 successfully completed alcoholic fermentation across all temperature regimes. Additionally, variations in phenolic content and color characteristics were observed among the Pinot Noir clones, with Clone 777 displaying the highest phenolic content. The findings highlight the roles of fermentation temperature, vintage, and clone in phenolic extraction and color expression in Pinot

With the passage of California Senate Bill 1162 (SB 1162), the Pay Transparency Act, in September of 2022, businesses that operate in or hire out of California have new requirements to meet for payroll reporting. This new law, which went into effect on January 1, 2023, sets new standards for Pay Data Reporting (PRD) to help businesses better identify existing pay disparities and prevent potential pay disparities for employees based on race, ethnicity, sex, and other protected characteristics. The Pay Transparency Act is a further evolution of California’s existing pay data reporting law—a law that is important for any business located in California or hiring out of California to understand. California business law can be complex and difficult to navigate, so we’ll break down the basics of California pay data reporting laws, including what’s changed since SB 1162 went into effect. What is CA Pay Data Reporting? In 2020, California enacted its first pay data law,

Enartis’ chitosan-based products are the only chitosan products on the market in which the chitosan is pre-activated. Pre-activation with organic acids increases the charge, improves reactivity with a wider spectrum of spoilage microorganisms, and increases solubility, making it a more rapid and effective product. It also works in turbid must or wine due to the inclusion of yeast hulls that are rich in beta-glucans. Activated Chitosan for Antimicrobial, Antioxidant and Antioxidasic Activity: EnartisStab Micro M is an antimicrobial fining agent that can be used at any stage during the winemaking process to control spoilage microorganisms. In addition to being allergen-free and vegan-friendly, these bioregulators’ antimicrobial activity is not influenced by wine or juice pH (Figure 1). Activated chitosan can be used to control non-Saccharomyces yeast, bacteria, and molds (including Botrytis cinerea). Furthermore, it can limit oxidation reactions by chelating metals such

Yeast isolate from the top Cabernet Sauvignon block on DAOU Mountain, in Paso Robles, in the Adelaida Appellation. Enartis Ferm D20 is recommended for the production of high-end red wines intended to be aged. It tolerates high fermentation temperatures, promotes extraction of phenolic compounds, and reduces the perception of green notes while enhancing aromatic intensity and complexity. Particularly suited for Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals. Isolated in collaboration with DAOU Vineyards and Winery.
