Wine Spoilage Testing

Your wine is too valuable to lose to yeasts & bacteria and that can spoil your wine.  Our suite of PCR tests are fast, sensitive & accurate – providing surety about what is occurring in your wine.  All our tests can detect viable (but non-culturable) cells that may have been damaged by sulphur.

Product Details

Our wine PCR tests give you so much more than a yes/no result giving a quantitative result, so you know how large (or small) the issue is.  In fact, we can detect down to a very low level of spoilage, even down to viable but non-culturable cells that have been damaged by sulphur.

Our tests include:

  • Brettanomyces
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae
  • Zygosaccharomyces bailii
  • Acetobacter
  • Pediococcus parvulus
  • Lactobacillus brevis/plantarum/hilgardii
  • Oenococcus oeni
  • Hanseniaspora

If you’re unsure of what test you need, read our fact sheet on symptoms and the appropriate test.  These tests can be customised for flexibility.

If you need a specific test, and it is not listed above, contact us to discuss how we can develop a test for you.

 

To help you choose which test you need, read our wine symptoms fact sheet.
