Wine loss refers to loss occurring when the consumer does not consume the wine contained in the bottle and disposes of it because of taste alteration, which is caused by inadequate product protection rendering the wine unpalatable to a knowledgeable consumer.

    WHat DOES YOUR Beer Really COST? Establishing an Effective Beer Costing Program in the Brewpub Your brewpub has been open a few years, you’re making award-winning beers, you’re a centerpiece of the community, and you’re even making a profit. Employees are happy, the bank is happy, investors are happy, and you’ve managed to get your work week down to a manageable 70 hours. Labor expenses are steady and manageable, food cost is at the industry average, and beer cost is “around” 10 percent. That’s good, right? Right? If you don’t have a clear view of the cost of your beer, you may be pouring dollars down the drain (literally). A well-established cost analysis will not only provide valuable data on the real cost of selling your suds, but may also identify areas of opportunity such as purchasing, labor and compensation analysis, and reducing waste. Many different methods exist for calculating beer cost, and in this article I’ll describe the ones I find valuable, in addition to a few I don’t (and why).

  • Amphora-Aged Cos Wine: New Or Ancient

    Amphora-Aged Cos Wine: New Or Ancient

    AMPHORA-AGED COS WINE: NEW OR ANCIENT There is something simply amazing to view a winery making its top wines in a series of earthenware jars. Is there shock-horror? Yes for a technocrat trained on the finer points of grades of stainless steel. But no for someone on a path of discovery to understand just what the practitioners do when there is a choice to return to the roots of winemaking practice. And the use of clay pots has been a natural winemaking event year-on-year in Georgia for as far back as 6000 years BC. Recently a colleague advised me that a 2012 trip to this old world winemaking country included a visit to a monastery using the clay pot containers continuously for 1000 years (a lot of vintages there to build up tartrate!) So I was recently on the path of discovery in Sicily to visit two famous properties using earthenware jars for winemaking and aging (COS in Vittoria) and Cornelissen (on Etna) who ages new wine similarly. There is a space in between with the technology path-that of using oak barrels as storage vessels, and over the past decade used, large (3-5,000 litre) format casks have proved to be valuable aging means for high quality wines. Casks displaced earthenware vessels as they were more practical. However keeping large casks fresh and clean is a never-ending job, and at times capable of going wrong (cask has to be burnt). Also the cask remains practical for making larger volumes of wine, while re-introducing the clay pot makes sense for small parcel winemaking as pot management is a lot simpler than in the 15th century.

Thus, material and component contamination is common. The most common source of resin contamination is water. Generally oil, grease and dust are observed in the contamination of products as well. Material Feed The feed to machines involved in processing thermoplastics is very often a mixture of virgin (new) material, regrind, and colorant (often in the form of a master batch). All of these materials must be kept clean and dry. A controlled ratio of the materials must also be used if consistent machine operation and component quality (such as surface appearance) are to be maintained. The extruder can be fed with plastics (resins) or compounds in various forms. The feed may be fine powder, regrind material or virgin pellets. If the material is available in more than one form, feeding problems will probably occur if a mixture of forms is used. In terms of feeding efficiency, spherical granules (of approximately 3 mm/0.125 in diameter) are the most efficient, while fine powders are usually the worst.
