This highly practical course is designed to enable wine producers to establish an effective wine analysis laboratory in their winery. After a brief overview of basic Chemistry, students will be taught how to carry out the major wine analyses safely and accurately. These will include the measurement of acidity (pH & titration), sugars refractometry, hydrometry and Rebelein), sulphur dioxide (free and total), alcohol (ebulliometry and distillation), volatile acidity (steam distillation) and malo-lactic fermentation monitoring (thin layer
chromatography).

These analyses should enable producers to monitor the development of their wines and self-certify them for the UK Regional Wine Scheme. Students will require GCSE grade C Maths and Chemistry (or equivalent) to benefit from this course.
