For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project-learning.html Abstract The sponsor, Zoll Cellars, is seeking to improve their current post-fermentation process. Fining is a post-fermentation process used to clarify wine. This paper discusses several commonly used fining agents including: Bentonite, Chitosan and Kieselsol, and gelatin and Kieselsol. The following tests were conducted to compare the fining agents: visual clarity, mass change due to racking, pH, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Bentonite was an F. Chitosan and Kieselsol were also successful with a wait time before racking of at least 24 hours. Gelatin and Kieselsol are not recommended for use at Zoll Cellars because gelatin easily over stripped the wine of important flavor compounds. i Acknowledgements We would like to thank our advisor, Professor Stephen J. Kmiotek, for his essential guidance and support. This project would not have been a success without you. We really appreciated how readily available you were to help us with any setbacks or problems that arose.

  • Consuming Concerns
    CONSUMING CONCERNS The 2013 State-by-State Report Card On Consumer Access To Wine Issued By The American Wine Consumer Coalition Washington, DC August 2013 INTRODUCTION The patchwork of state laws concerning wine and consumer access to wine products create a complex and difficult to understand legal quilt. This is due to the passage of the 21st Amendment to the Constitution in 1933 that not only ended the 15-year experiment with national alcohol Prohibition, but also gave primary responsibility to the states for the regulation of alcohol sales and consumption. The states took that responsibility seriously and enacted a variety of laws and regulations concerning how its residents could access and consume wine. Eighty years after passage of the 21st Amendment, many of the alcohol and wine-related laws put in place in the 1930s are still in place in most states, despite a cultural, economic and commercial reality that is starkly different from the 1930’s. In some cases, however, laws concerning how consumers may access wine products and use wine have been updated to match the economic changes that have occurred, to accommodate legal rulings that showed many of the earlier laws to be unconstitutional and to meet the demands of an American consumer base that has become fervently interested in the wines produced now in every state in the country as well as the thousands of imported wines that now reach American shores from Europe, South America, Canada, Eastern Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and other spots on the globe. “Consuming Concerns: The 2013 State-by-State Report Card on Consumer Access to Wine” looks at how friendly the fifty states’ and District of Columbia’s wine laws are to its wine consumers.

Travel Vineyards of the Berkshires and Pioneer Valley By Brian McDermott | G LO BE C O RRES PO N DEN T S EPT EMBER 2 8 , 2 0 1 3 SOUTHAMPTON — A blue and tan barn swallow loops by a bright red barn. A couple lounges in Adirondack chairs with glasses of cabernet franc and riesling on the armrests, while a group unpacks a picnic and uncorks a bottle of red wine. The view begins with straight green lines of grape vines and extends to The Seven Sisters summits beyond. It may sound like Burgundy, but the Black Birch Winery in Southampton is less than a two-hour drive from Boston. The winery’s 2012 opening has added to a small but growing Western Massachusetts wine trail that extends deep into the Berkshires, and visitors are beginning to take note. BRIAN MCDERMOTT FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE At Black Birch Winery in “This is how it used to be in Napa,” said Cory Southampton, a view over the vines at the distant Seven Sisters. Telman as he and his wife, Kate, sampled one of Black Birch’s white wines. Known for its embrace of local farms, the area has always had the agricultural mindset and scenery for vineyards. But it didn’t have the right climate. Now, thanks to cold- resistant grapevines developed by Cornell University and the University of Minnesota, global warming, and the popularity of microwineries, vineyards in the western part of the state are starting to firmly take root.

  • Price Effects and the Commerce Clause: the Case of State Wine Shipping Laws
    Price Effects and the Commerce Clause: The Case of State Wine Shipping Laws Jerry Ellig and Alan E. Wiseman Abstract In the wake of Granholm v. Heald, numerous states passed new laws to regulate interstate direct shipment of alcohol that would seem to contradict the spirit, if not the explicit content, of the Commerce Clause. We build on existing scholarship analyzing the empirical impacts of direct shipment barriers to identify how these new laws are likely to influence local market conditions. Drawing on new data that measure posted winery prices and aggregate production levels in 2002 and 2004, we demonstrate how many of these new laws would be expected to effectively diminish, if not altogether remove, the benefits that would normally accrue to consumers from legalized interstate direct shipment of wine. While empirical analysis of price effects currently plays a very limited role in dormant Commerce Clause cases, our analysis suggests how price data can be used to ascertain whether a state restriction constitutes discrimination against out-of-state economic interests.
