Wine Quality Control

In the wine industry, brand recognition and reputation evolve over time, signifying quality and enhancing the perceived value of a winery's expertise. Wine production involves complex microbiological processes, where some microbes improve with aging while others can spoil the wine, impacting its quality and reputation. 

Current quality control methods, reliant on experience and sensory evaluation, have limitations, especially considering the increased risk of spoilage contamination throughout the wine-making process. Establishing proactive quality control processes is crucial to mitigate risks and meet consumer expectations. Fast and accurate diagnostic results are essential for maintaining wine quality along the supply chain and preventing spoilage events.
