As we are in bottling season, free sulfite deserves extra attention.  Free SO₂ is your last line of defense against oxidation and microbial spoilage. Levels can shift more than expected after racking, blending, or filtration.  Before bottling, make sure to:  • Measure and confirm free SO₂  • Adjust based on pH and desired molecular SO₂  • Recheck after final additions and just prior to filling  A few ppm can make the difference between a wine that evolves beautifully and one that fades prematurely.   Please reach out if you’d like to chat about automated solutions for checking free sulfite. 

Precision and repeatability are essential in wine quality control.  Steroglass' FLASH2 automatic titrator performs rapid and reliable analyses on key parameters such as pH, total acidity and free and combined sulfur dioxide, with automatic equivalence point detection.  A compact, intuitive instrument that is perfect for improving efficiency in wine laboratories, reducing errors and working times.

Come chat with us at our Open House April 22–23 to talk about all things in-house QC! 🍇 See our analyzers up close, ask questions, and explore how labs are saving time with automation. No formal presentations, simply good conversation and practical solutions. We can't wait to see you there!

WiVi Central Coast is next week! Are you looking forward to the trade show as much as we are? 🍇 What are your labs' needs around QC? Please reach out with questions, we would love to speak with you.

How much do we appreciate feedback from our clients? A ton!  It was a joy to hear Phoebe Bartoldus' experiences with Admeo's analyzers and how it has influenced her QC processes as a Cellar Technician at ONX Wines: "I would highly recommend Admeo’s products to others in the industry. They are user friendly and efficient, making the time in the lab more valuable.     ONX wanted to outfit our lab to its full potential, especially being a Custom Crush program. The FLASH2 and Y15 give us the opportunity to create a new revenue source that wasn’t possible before. In 2025, ONX’s Lab program increased nearly 60% in revenue.    With the Y15 and Flash2 both being automated systems, I can load the machines and work on something else while they are running, making my time in the lab more efficient.    We test our wine lots every month to make sure they are stable and where they need to be chemically speaking.

Thank you to all who stopped by Admeo's booth at Unified Wine and Grape Symposium and Oregon Wine Symposium! 🍇  Your energy, curiosity, and thoughtful conversations made both events truly special. Thank you for the hugs and sharing about your labs.  If we didn’t get a chance to connect or you’d like to follow up, please reach out. We are always happy to chat about quality control!

If you’ve ever rerun a sample because your free SO₂ result didn't seem right, this post is for you. Managing free and total sulfites is one of the most critical controls in wine stability and shelf life. Our free sulfite reagent kit is for producers who want to evaluate chemistry in their lab.  What you’ll be able to test:  • consistency across replicates  • compatibility with your analyzer and protocols  • real-world performance We would love to help make your lab's QC easier.
