Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wine brewing, and in particular relates to a method for preserving and antisepticizing low-alcohol wine. Background Art

[0002] Wine is a popular drink, but it is easily affected by microbial contamination and oxidation during its production, storage and sales, resulting in quality degradation and shortened shelf life. Traditional preservation methods, such as adding chemical preservatives such as sulfur dioxide, can preserve wine to a certain extent, but may have potential effects on human health and affect the flavor of wine. Therefore, a safer and more effective method for preserving wine is needed. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art and propose a method for preserving and antisepticizing wine, which can effectively extend the shelf life of wine, maintain its good quality and flavor, while reducing the use of chemical preservatives and improving the safety of wine.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution created by the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] A method for preserving and preserving wine comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1: Raw material screening and processing:

[0007] The picked grapes are transported to the brewing workshop within 2 hours, and then screened and cleaned; a gentle spray method is used to avoid damaging the grape skin.

[0008] S2: Low temperature fermentation:

[0009] The washed grapes are crushed, yeast is added, and fermented at 15-20℃;

[0010] Low-temperature fermentation helps to maintain the fruity aroma and flavor of the wine, while also inhibiting the growth of some undesirable microorganisms.

[0011] During the fermentation process, the sugar content of the fermentation liquid should be monitored regularly to ensure the normal progress of the fermentation. When the sugar content in the fermentation liquid drops to 17-20°Bx, the fermentation is stopped.

[0012] S3: Filtration and clarification:

[0013] After fermentation, the wine is filtered to remove residue and impurities produced during the fermentation process, and the filtered wine is clarified.

[0014] The filtration treatment uses filter paper filtration or membrane filtration to gradually improve the filtration accuracy.

[0015] The clarification treatment involves adding an appropriate amount of clarifiers, such as gelatin and bentonite, to promote the precipitation of suspended matter in the wine, making the wine clearer and more transparent.

[0016] S4: Aseptic filling:

[0017] The clarified wine is bottled under sterile conditions.

[0018] Filling equipment must be strictly cleaned and disinfected to ensure that no microorganisms remain.

[0019] Use packaging materials with good sealing properties, such as glass bottles or plastic bottles, and seal them immediately after filling to reduce the chance of air entering the bottle.

[0020] S5: Micro-oxygen treatment:

[0021] After the wine is bottled, it is treated with micro-oxygen. The purpose of micro-oxygen treatment is to promote the aging and flavor development of the wine, while also inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms to achieve the purpose of preservation and anti-corrosion.

[0022] S6: Low temperature storage:

[0023] Store the bottled wine at 10-15°C. Low temperature can slow down the oxidation rate of wine and the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, further extending the shelf life of wine. In addition, the storage environment must maintain a relatively stable temperature and humidity to avoid excessive temperature fluctuations that may affect the quality of the wine. At the same time, the wine must be protected from light and vibration to prevent damage to the quality of the wine.

[0024] Preferably, the micro-oxygen treatment is performed by injecting 1-5 mg of oxygen per liter of wine into the tank.

[0025] Preferably, the frequency of the micro-oxygen treatment is once every 20-30 days.

[0026] Preferably, the micro-oxygen treatment is performed 1 to 3 times.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0028] (1) The present invention effectively inhibits the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and reduces the oxidation of wine through low-temperature fermentation, aseptic filling, micro-oxygen treatment and low-temperature storage, thereby extending the shelf life of wine. The traditional method uses a large amount of chemical preservatives such as sulfur dioxide, which may cause allergic reactions and other potential hazards to human health. The method of the present invention mainly uses physical and biological technology means to reduce the addition of chemical substances and reduce the potential risks to the human body.

[0029] (2) The present invention reduces the use of chemical preservatives, improves the safety of wine, and can better maintain the original flavor and quality of wine, providing consumers with better quality wine products. In addition, chemical preservatives may change the flavor of wine, causing it to lose its original pure taste and aroma. The low-temperature fermentation and micro-oxygen treatment steps of the present invention help to maintain the natural fruity aroma and flavor substances of wine, making the taste of wine more mellow and rich.

[0030] (3) The preservation and antiseptic method of the present invention is simple to operate, easy to promote and apply in wine production enterprises, and has good economic and social benefits. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
