pH and acidity in wine…and other beverages

pH and Acidity in wine and other beverages

Acidity and pH have a direct effect on the taste of beverages.

Look around in any winery or beverage manufacture and you will find a pH meter. In larger ones, you will also find a titrator. Why? Simply because pH and acidity have such a strong influence on the taste of wines and flavoured beverages that monitoring both is essential to ensure the quality of the products.

Monitoring pH and acidity

By monitoring the pH and acidity of wine, consistent flavour can be ensured, the basis of building a quality wine label. For beverage manufacturers, monitoring pH and acidity not only ensures consistency of flavour, it lowers the cost of overdosing acid to combat overly sweet beverages.

An auto-titrator saves time

As pH and titratable acidity analysis are simple to perform and can be manually performed, you may ask why an auto-titrator is required. While simple to analyse, sample numbers in beverage production are high, which makes analysis time consuming. Automating analysis frees up analyst time and ensures reproducibility of results.

Metrohm provide experience and knowledge to the beverage industry, earned through years of supporting customers with a broad range of titrators, from the very basic, to the very advanced for pH and acidity analysis.
