Wine taints and faults
To discuss your needs
Detect. Correct. Perfect Your Wine
In the world of wine, taints and faults are more than just off-flavours - they can compromise aroma, taste, appearance, and ultimately, consumer trust. These issues may range from subtle flaws to obvious spoilage and typically arise during production, storage, or packaging.
We combine expert sensory detection with advanced laboratory analysis to identify even the subtlest taints and faults. Through practical, hands-on workshops, we equip winemakers and quality teams to understand causes, mitigate risks, and safeguard wine quality from vine to bottle - whether for boutique producers or large-scale operations.
