FAQ

What is Velcorin Dosing?

Velcorin has been used for over 20 years for the cold sterilization of wine. Benefits include:

• Velcorin can be used for all wines
• Velcorin reaks down completely into trace amounts of methanol and CO2
• Velcorin does not influence the sensory properties of
  the wine
• Velcorin o ffers a broad spectrum of effectiveness
  against wine-specific micro organisms
  • Brettanomyces
  • Saccharomyces
  • Zygosaccharomyces
  • Acetobacter
  • Pseudomonas
  • Lactobacillus
• Compatible with all known end packaging
• TTB approved with no labeling requirements

Why Velcorin?
Velcorin has become the microbial control process
of choice of many leading wineries because of it’s
distinct advantages.

• Approved for use to stabilize wine in the USA,
  Europe, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, China,
  Indonesia and many South American countries
• Safe and effective – upon completing the cold
  sterilizing function, Velcorin breaks down into
  trace amounts of methanol and carbon dioxide,
  natural elements of the fermenting process,
  leaving the wine’s taste and color unaffected
• More desirable than pasteurization, flash
  pasteurization or other chemical preservatives
  that can alter a wine’s taste. (sorbic acid may
  be reduced by certain lactic acid bacteria leading
  to the formation of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3,
  5-hexadiene which causes the notorious
  “geranium” taste.)
• The most cost-effective, non-invasive way to
  stabilize wine during the bottling process

Does Velcorin require special bottle labeling?
Velcorin is a FDA and TTB approved microbial stabilization process; that does not require any special labeling.
