Increasing public concern with sulfite content in wine as well as wine quality loss by high sulfite additions have created the need for new winemaking tools and practices to reduce sulfite use. For winemakers, reducing SO2 means greater commitment of time and responsibility in avoiding the risk of exposing an unprotected wine to chemical and microbiological changes. Lamothe-Abiet offers options able to replace SO2 for its anti-oxidant, anti-oxidasic and anti-microbial activities and produce quality, low or SO2 –free wines. The entire process of winemaking must be reviewed, especially sanitation and oxygen protection, using appropriate equipment and sanitation protocols. Learn more about Lamothe-Abiet winemaking solutions for reducing SO2 and the feedback of winemakers and users of bio-protection.

The calendar tells facility and QA managers that it’s time to schedule a year-end review to see how their pest management programs are performing, and where improvements can be made. The year-end review embodies two distinctly different elements – a program review, and an annual risk assessment. What’s the difference between the two? It’s more than semantics.
