At Peregrine Mobile Bottling, we believe that the final stage of winemaking - the bottling line - shouldn't be a compromise. Instead, it should be an opportunity to elevate your product, preserving all the hard work, nuance, and care that went into every vintage. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how integrating advanced Gas Management using a KH Tec Membrane Technology into the bottling process makes an undeniable difference in wine cost savings, quality, shelf stability, and consumer experience. This is our story - and the story of the wineries who trust us to help them tell theirs.  Where Technology Meets Terroir When we started offering gas management services alongside our mobile bottling, we weren’t just adding a feature. We were responding to a real need in the industry. Too often, wineries saw excellent wines lose their luster after bottling. Subtle aromatics would flatten. Effervescence would fade. Shelf life suffered. The common culprit? CO₂ and Oxyge

Some Products Can Be Simplified For any items that you don’t track COGs on, you can map multiple products, such as tastings or samples, and point them to a single QB SKU. This saves a great deal of time compared to setting up every single event, tasting, pouring, etc. We see a wide variety of ways to manage products. Some will set up every single item, while others allow items to be combined. 3. Make Deposits with your Undeposited Funds Account Your Undeposited Funds account keeps a record of payments in QuickBooks until you deposit the same payments at your bank. Think of

The QuickMath calculator is a quick way to perform simple calculations without having to pull out a calculator or use a separate app on your computer. To use this feature, open the form you will be using (perhaps an invoice or estimate). Then you can press the equal key or type a number followed by a function, such as: Plus: +  Minus: –  Multiply: *  Divide: / A window will pop up showing your calculations. You can press equal to see your subtotal, “C” to clear the last entry, or press “C” twice to clear the equation.

However, it could be helpful for when you're writing up an invoice or an estimate. Testimonial:  "WGits has been an absolute game changer for us. We save an incredible amount of

Tying out your month can be tricky. Here is a Quick QB Tip to help make your month-end easier. Weekend Trickiness Payment Gateways usually do a payout or two for each day, however over the weekend, they will often send one payout that represents multiple days of the weekend. This can be tricky if you didn't know this already and can make reconciliation harder. Sometimes checking the revenue across both days to see them balance is the fastest way to resolve this. Whatever your process is for balancing the books, hopefully, this tip will help you tie out a less stressful month-end. Testimonial: "WGits has been an absolute game changer for us. We save an incredible amount of time not manually entering sales transactions each day.  We use WGits for two brands, flowing into the same Quickbooks online account and it is seamless and accurate. The customer support is amazing and quick to respond with solutions to any problems (which are very few)." ~ Kattie Zielenski Wine
