The purpose is to obtain tartaric stability of the wine with regard to potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium tartrate (and other calcium salts) by extraction of ions in supersaturation in the wine under the action of an electrical field and using membranes that are either anion-permeable or cation-permeable.
they must be manufactured according to good manufacturing practice from substances authorised for the manufacture of plastic materials intended to come into contact with foodstuffs as listed in Annex II to Commission Directive 2002/72/EC(2),
the user of the electrodialysis equipment must show that the membranes used meet the above requirements and that any replacements have been carried out by specialised personnel,
they must not release any substance in quantities endangering human health or affecting the taste or smell of foodstuffs and must meet the criteria laid down in Directive 2002/72/EC,
their use must not trigger interactions between their constituents and the wine liable to result in the formation of new compounds that may be toxic in the treated product.
The stability of fresh electrodialysis membranes is to be determined using a simulant reproducing the physico-chemical composition of the wine for investigation of possible migration of certain substances from them.
The experimental method recommended is as follows:
The simulant is a water-alcohol solution buffered to the pH and conductivity of the wine. Its composition is as follows:
absolute ethanol: 11 l,
potassium hydrogen tartrate: 380 g,
potassium chloride: 60 g,
concentrated sulphuric acid: 5 ml,
distilled water: to make up 100 litres,
This solution is used for closed circuit migration tests on an electrodialysis stack under tension (1 volt/cell), on the basis of 50 l/m2 of anionic and cationic membranes, until 50 % demineralisation of the solution. The effluent circuit is initiated by a 5 g/l potassium chloride solution. Migrating substances are tested for in both the simulant and the effluent.
Organic molecules entering into the membrane composition that are liable to migrate into the treated solution will be determined. A specific determination will be carried out for each of these constituents by an approved laboratory. [F12The content in the simulant of all the determined compounds must be less than 50 μg/l.]

They may be left in their natural state, or heated to a low, medium or high temperature, but they may not have undergone combustion, including surface combustion, nor be carbonaceous or friable to the touch. They may not have undergone any chemical, enzymatic or physical processes other than heating. No product may be added for the purpose of increasing their natural flavour or the amount of their extractible phenolic compounds.
The label must mention the origin of the botanical species of oak and the intensity of any heating, the storage conditions and safety precautions.
The dimensions of the particles of wood must be such that at least 95 % in weight are retained by a 2 mm mesh filter (9 mesh).
The pieces of oak wood may not release any substances in concentrations which may be harmful to health.

Their use must not excessively modify the physico-chemical composition or the organoleptic characteristics of the wine and must comply with the limits set out in point 3 of the International Oenological Codex monograph ‘Cation-exchange resins’ published by the OIV.
reduction in the heavy metal content, particularly iron, lead, cadmium and copper;
prevention of ferric casse and copper casse;

reduction in the populations of undesirable micro-organisms, in particular Brettanomyces , solely by means of treatment with chitosan.
The dose levels to be used are determined after a qualification test. The maximum dose level used may not exceed:
100 g/hl for applications (a) and (b),
500 g/hl for application (c),
10 g/hl for application (d),

The aim of treatment with cation exchangers ( ‘ the treatment ’ ) is to increase the titratable acidity and actual acidity (reduction in pH) by partial physical extraction of cations using a cation exchanger.
Requirements:
The treatment is to be carried out using cation exchange resins regenerated in the acid cycle.
The treatment must be limited to the elimination of excess cations.
To avoid the production of fractions of must or of wine, the treatment is to be performed continuously, with in-line incorporation of the treated products into the original products.
As an alternative, the resin could be directly incorporated into the tank, in the quantity required, then separated by any appropriate technical method.
All the operations are to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.
The treatment must be recorded in the register referred to in Article 185c(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
The cationic resins used must comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, EU and national provisions adopted thereunder and the analytical requirements laid down in Appendix 4 to this Annex. Their use must not excessively modify the physico-chemical composition or the organoleptic characteristics of the must or wine and must comply with the limits set out in point 3 of the International Oenological Codex monograph ‘ Cation-exchange resins ’ published by the OIV.
The aim of treatment to reduce sugar content ( ‘ the treatment ’ ) is to remove sugar from a must by membrane coupling linking microfiltration or ultrafiltration to nanofiltration or reverse osmosis.
Requirements:
The treatment induces a reduction in volume as a function of the quantity of the sugar content of the sugar solution removed from the initial must.
The processes must allow the content of must constituents other than the sugars to be preserved.
The reduction in sugar content of musts excludes the correction of the alcohol content of wines which are derived from them.

The treatment is carried out on a volume of must determined as a function of the sugar content reduction objective being sought.
The objective of the first stage is to render the must suitable for the second stage of concentration and to preserve the macromolecules greater in size than the membrane’s cut-off threshold. This stage may be carried out by ultrafiltration.
The permeate obtained during the first stage of treatment is then concentrated by nanofiltration or by reverse osmosis.
The original water and the organic acids not retained by nanofiltration in particular may be reintroduced in the treated must.
The treatment must be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.
The membranes used must comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 and with the national provisions adopted for the implementation thereof. They must comply with the requirements of the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV.
Electro-membrane treatment ( ‘ the treatment ’ ) is a physical method for ionic must or wine extraction under the action of an electric field using anion-permeable membranes and bipolar membranes.
