Provides Winemakers with More Choices for Their Wine Programs  MODESTO, Calif.  (January 19, 2023) – Diam Bouchage, the leading manufacturer of technical cork closures for still wines, sparkling wines and spirits, has introduced new permeability options for its popular DIAM 10 and DIAM 30 corks designed to provide winemakers with more choices for their wine programs.   The new closures can be viewed at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, January 25-26, at the Diam booth, #538.  “Oxygen management is critical for winemaking, so Diam offers a wide range of products with different oxygen ingress rates (OIR) and oxygen transfer rates (OTR) for our Diam 2, 3, 5 and Origine by Diam corks.  However, winemakers have been asking for a cork option with higher OTRs and this solution will provide them with a brand-new tool to consistently age wines after bottling,” said Dimitri Tixador, director of permeability at the Diam Bouchage&

The proper control of O2 levels lies at the heart of modern oenology When winemakers put the cork in a bottle of wine, their job is done. It’s their last oenological act; after that, it’s up to the cork. In the past, using a piece of cork was a random act of hope — the cork could be very tight or very loose, and the winemaker could be lucky or unlucky. After 5 or 6 years of aging, the result could be reductive bottles, perfect bottles or oxidized bottles — or all three in the same batch. And, the unfortunate part is when consumers experience this fault, they assume it’s the wine style they do not like. “The amount of oxygen that penetrates the cork directly affects the aging of the wine,” says François Margot, “so it is essential to consistently control the flow of oxygen.” Margot is the North American Sales Manager for Diam Bouchage, a global leader in technological corking solutions for still and sparkling wines and s

Winemakers know one of the critical steps in wine preparation for bottling is the maturation process, which is the period after fermentation. During maturation, wines will develop elegance and complexity through controlled oxidative transformation. Traditionally, most wines have undergone maturation in oak barrels. The combination of oak and measured amounts of oxygen typically results in improvements of sensory characteristics like color stability, aromatic complexity, tannin texture, mid-palate weight and length.  Boisé has offered an alternative modern winemaking approach with their oak products giving winemakers precision tools to create specific wine profiles, guaranteeing efficient and optimum aging in the cellar.  Learn more about Boisé’s Oak Alternatives   When a shorter maturation time is preferred (2-4 months), Boisé offers a diverse selection of oak alternatives in the Origine Oak Chips range that are appropriate for any w
