Analytical Services
Have juice or wine samples that need analyzed? See the list below for your options! (Labs are listed in alphabetical order)
This 2011 report was sent to the PA wine industry regarding where to go for wine analysis, what is important, and what each analytical lab within the U.S. offers.
The following is a guide meant to help you establish your own wine lab. The procedures are geared towards a winery of small– to mid– production size. Although this does not provide information to all the juice and wine analyses out there, it is meant as a guide to get you started in understanding analytical procedures related to the winemaking process. I should note that enzymatic analyses that require a spectrophotometer (e.g. malic acid, ammonia, amino acid nitrogen, and reducing sugars) are usually considered optional analyses in a winery’s wine lab. However, the numbers for these analytes are important parameters to record, and can be outsourced to a certified wine lab.
The following is a list of texts that I recommend for protocols, lab set-up, and more information regarding wine analysis.
