4worldlovers: The Vinmetrica SC-100 allows me to accurately test 6 or 8 wines for Free SO2 in less than an hour including setup time vs spending an entire afternoon testing wines using the AO method. The test results correlate within a few ppm of results from commercial test labs.

Anyone getting into home winemaking should seriously consider the SC-100 as one of their key investments.

Essentially, I created my own small lab right in my barrel room. This has proven to be one of the most effective investments I’ve made here at Bodegas Cieli. Instead of waiting and wondering about the next lab analysis, I schedule lab work each month when we top barrels. We don’t test one or two barrels, we test all my barrels.

The process is straight forward, high school chemistry lab, with a very simple mathematical conversion that is explained with the equipment manual. I’ve cross checked my results now with a professional lab in Paso Robles and find my own analysis for Free SO2 - pH - TA - Total SO2 to consistently be within very tiny variance to their lab analysis of my same samples. The tests are easy to perform and repeatable with a high degree of accuracy.

One of the best investments I’ve made for initiating maceration and fermentation and ultimately for preserving and protecting my barrel aging wine. I highly recommend this product to anyone in our industry or even the first time winemaker at home. Great product!

Oxygen management in winemaking is as – if not more – important than managing SO2 levels in making truly great wines.

And now, Vinmetrica has made it possible and affordable for home winemakers to easily measure dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in wine using a galvanic-type electrode that connects to an SC-200 or SC-300 analyzer. The electrode performed very well compared to instruments that cost even one order of magnitude more. The SC-300 analyzer and DO probe are now my go-to instruments for monitoring DO levels in my wines.

This is a great product! I needed to get a full analysis of my wine prior to bottling so I ran tests with the SC300 3 days before a commercial lab. Two wines analyzed.
