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. [F1The content in the simulant of all the determined compounds must be less than 50 μg/l.]

3. | 2006 | France | The wine-growing areas in the departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin. | All wines obtained from grapes harvested in 2006. |
The volatile acid content may not exceed:
18 milliequivalents per litre for partially fermented grape must;
18 milliequivalents per litre for white and rosé wines; or
20 milliequivalents per litre for red wines.
The levels referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply:
to products from grapes harvested within the Community, at the production stage and at all stages of marketing;
to partially fermented grape must and wines originating in third countries, at all stages following their entry into the geographical territory of the Community.
Derogations from paragraph 1 may be granted:
for certain wines with a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication:
where they have been aged for a period of at least two years, or
where they have been produced according to particular methods;
wines with a total alcoholic strength by volume of at least 13 % vol.
The Member States must notify these derogations to the Commission, which must then inform the other Member States.
The sweetening of wine may be authorised only if carried out using one or more of the following products:
grape must;
concentrated grape must;
rectified concentrated grape must.
The total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question may not be increased by more than 4 % vol.
The sweetening of imported wines intended for direct human consumption and bearing a geographical indication is forbidden within the territory of the Community. The sweetening of other imported wines shall be subject to the same conditions as wines produced in the Community.
The sweetening of a wine with a protected designation of origin may be authorised by a Member State only if it is carried out:
in accordance with the conditions and limits laid down in this Annex;
within the region in which the wine was produced or within an area in immediate proximity.
The grape must and concentrated grape must referred to in paragraph 1 must originate in the same region as the wine for the sweetening of which it is used.
The sweetening of wines shall be authorised only at the production and wholesale stages.
The sweetening of wines must be carried out in accordance with the following specific administrative rules:
Any natural or legal person intending to carry out a sweetening operation shall notify the competent authority of the Member State on whose territory the operation is to take place.
Notice shall be given in writing. It shall reach the competent authority at least forty-eight hours before the day on which the sweetening operation is to take place.
However, where an undertaking frequently or continuously carries out sweetening operations, Member States may allow a notification covering several operations or a specified period to be sent to the competent authorities. Such notification shall be accepted only on condition that the undertaking keeps a written record of each sweetening operation and records the information required by point (d).
Notifications shall include the following information:
the quantity and the total and actual alcoholic strengths of the wine to be sweetened,
the quantity and the total and actual alcoholic strengths of the grape must or the quantity and density of the concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must to be added, as the case may be,
the total and actual alcoholic strengths of the wine after sweetening.
The persons referred to in point (a) shall keep goods inwards and outwards registers showing the quantities of grape must, concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must which they are holding for sweetening operations.
For the purposes of this point and points B and C of this Annex:
‘tirage liqueur’ means;
the product added to the cuvée to provoke secondary fermentation;
‘expedition liqueur’ means;
the product added to sparkling wines to give them special taste qualities.
The expedition liqueur may contain only:
sucrose,
grape must,
grape must in fermentation,
concentrated grape must,
rectified concentrated grape must;
wine, or
a mixture thereof,
with the possible addition of wine distillate.
Without prejudice to enrichment authorised pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 for the constituents of a cuvée, any enrichment of the cuvée shall be prohibited.
However, each Member State may, in respect of regions and varieties for which it is technically justified, authorise the enrichment of the cuvée at the place of preparation of the sparkling wines provided that:
none of the constituents of the cuvée has previously undergone enrichment;
the said constituents are derived solely from grapes harvested in its territory;
the enrichment is carried out in a single operation;
the following limits are not exceeded:
3 % vol. for a cuvée comprising constituents from wine-growing zone A;
2 % vol. for a cuvée comprising constituents from wine-growing zone B;
1,5 % vol. for a cuvée comprising constituents from wine-growing zone C;
the method used is the addition of sucrose, concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must.
The addition of tirage liqueur and expedition liqueur shall be considered neither as enrichment nor as sweetening. The addition of tirage liqueur may not cause an increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvée of more than 1,5 % vol. This increase shall be measured by calculating the difference between the total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvée and the total alcoholic strength by volume of the sparkling wine before any expedition liqueur is added.
The addition of expedition liqueur shall be carried out in such a way as not to increase the actual alcoholic strength by volume of the sparkling wine by more than 0,5 % vol.
Sweetening of the cuvée and its constituents shall be prohibited.
In addition to any acidification or deacidification of the constituents of the cuvée in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, the cuvée may be subject to acidification or deacidification. Acidification and deacidification of the cuvée shall be mutually exclusive. Acidification may be carried out only up to a maximum of 1,5 grams per litre, expressed as tartaric acid, i.e. 20 milliequivalents per litre.
In years of exceptional climate conditions, the maximum limit of 1,5 grams per litre or 20 milliequivalents per litre may be raised to 2.5 grams per litre or 34 milliequivalents per litre, provided that the natural acidity of the products is not less than 3 g/l, expressed as tartaric acid, or 40 milliequivalents per litre.
The carbon dioxide contained in the sparkling wines may be produced only as a result of the alcoholic fermentation of the cuvée from which such wine is prepared.
Such fermentation, unless it is intended for processing grapes, grape must or partially fermented grape must directly into sparkling wine, may result only from the addition of tirage liqueur. It may take place only in bottles or in closed tanks.
The use of carbon dioxide in the case of the process of transfer by counter-pressure is authorised under supervision and on condition that the pressure of the carbon dioxide contained in the sparkling wine is not thereby increased.
In the case of sparkling wines other than sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin:
the tirage liqueur intended for their preparation may contain only:
grape must,
grape must in fermentation,
concentrated grape must,
rectified concentrated grape must, or
sucrose and wine;
the actual alcoholic strength by volume, including the alcohol contained in any expedition liqueur added, shall be not less than 9,5 % vol.
The tirage liqueur intended for the production of a quality sparkling wine may contain only:
sucrose,
concentrated grape must,
rectified concentrated grape must,
grape must or partially fermented grape must, or
wine.
Producer Member States may define any supplementary or more stringent characteristics or conditions of production and circulation for the quality sparkling wines covered by this Title and produced in their territory.
The manufacture of quality sparkling wines is also covered by the rules referred to in:
paragraphs 1 to 10 of point A,
paragraph 3 of point C for the actual alcoholic strength, paragraph 5 of point C for the minimum excess pressure and paragraphs 6 and 7 of point C for the minimum length of the production process, without prejudice to paragraph 4(d) of this point,
As regards quality aromatic sparkling wines:
except by way of derogation, these may be obtained only by making exclusive use, when constituting the cuvée, of grape must or partially fermented grape must derived from wine varieties contained on the list given in Appendix 1. [F1However, quality aromatic sparkling wine may be produced in the traditional way by using, as constituents of the cuvée, wines obtained from grapes of the ‘Glera’ variety harvested in the regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia;]
control of the fermentation process before and after the cuvée has been constituted, in order to render the cuvée sparkling, may be effected only by refrigeration or other physical processes;
the addition of expedition liqueur shall be prohibited;
the length of the production process for quality aromatic sparkling wines may not be less than one month.
The total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvées intended for the preparation of quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin shall be not less than:
9,5 % vol. in wine-growing zones C III,
9 % vol. in other wine-growing zones.
[F1However, the cuvées intended for the preparation of quality sparkling wines with the protected designations of origin ‘ Prosecco ’ , ‘ Conegliano Valdobbiadene — Prosecco ’ and ‘ Colli Asolani — Prosecco ’ or ‘ Asolo — Prosecco ’ and prepared from a single vine variety may have a total alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 8,5 % vol.]
The actual alcoholic strength by volume of quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin, including the alcohol contained in any expedition liqueur added, shall be not less than 10 % vol.
The tirage liqueur for sparkling wines and quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin may contain only:
sucrose,
concentrated grape must,
rectified concentrated grape must;
and:
grape must,
partially fermented grape must,
wine;
suitable for yielding the same sparkling wine or quality sparkling wine with a protected designation of origin as that to which the tirage liqueur is added.
Notwithstanding paragraph 5(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, when kept at a temperature of 20 °C in closed containers of a capacity of less than 25 cl., quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin must have an excess pressure of not less than 3 bar.
The duration of the process of making quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin, including ageing in the undertaking where they are made and reckoned from the start of the fermentation process designed to make the wines sparkling, may not be less than:
six months where the fermentation process designed to make the wines sparkling takes place in closed tanks;
nine months where the fermentation process designed to make the wines sparkling takes place in the bottles.
The duration of the fermentation process designed to make the cuvée sparkling and the duration of the presence of the cuvée on the lees shall not be less than:
90 days,
30 days if the fermentation takes place in containers with stirrers.
The rules laid down in paragraphs 1-10 of point A and paragraph 2 of point B shall also apply to sparkling wines and quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin.
As regards quality aromatic sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin:
these wines may be obtained solely by using, for constituting the cuvée, grape must or partially fermented grape must of vine varieties on the list given in Appendix 1, provided that these varieties are recognised as suitable for the production of quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin in the region whose name the quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin bear. [F1By derogation, a quality aromatic sparkling wine with a protected designation of origin may be produced by using, as constituents of the cuvée, wines obtained from grapes of the ‘Glera’ vine variety harvested in the regions of the designations of origin ‘Prosecco’, ‘Conegliano-Valdobbiadene — Prosecco’, ‘Colli Asolani — Prosecco’ and ‘Asolo — Prosecco’;]
control of the fermentation process before and after the cuvée has been constituted, in order to render the cuvée sparkling, may be effected only by refrigeration or other physical processes;
the addition of expedition liqueur shall be prohibited;
the actual alcoholic strength by volume of quality aromatic sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin may not be less than 6 % vol.;
the total alcoholic strength by volume of quality aromatic sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin may not be less than 10 % vol.;
when kept at a temperature of 20 °C in closed containers, quality aromatic sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin must have an excess pressure of not less than 3 bar;
notwithstanding paragraph 6 of point C, the duration of the process of producing quality aromatic sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin must not be less than one month.

Textual Amendments
F2 Inserted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1166/2009 of 30 November 2009 amending and correcting Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions.
F3 Deleted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1166/2009 of 30 November 2009 amending and correcting Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions.
The products referred to in paragraph 3(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 and used for preparing liqueur wines and liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication may have undergone, where appropriate, only the oenological practices and processes referred to in Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 or this Regulation.
However,
the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume may be due only to the use of the products referred to in paragraph 3(e) and (f) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008; and
by derogation, Spain is authorised to permit the use of calcium sulphate for Spanish wines described by the traditional terms ‘vino generoso’ or ‘vino generoso de licor’ where this practice is traditional and provided that the sulphate content of the product so treated is not more than 2,5 g/l, expressed as potassium sulphate. These products may undergo additional acidification up to a maximum limit of 1,5 g/l.
Without prejudice to any provisions of a more restrictive nature which the Member States may adopt for liqueur wines and liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication prepared within their territory, the oenological practices referred to in Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 and in this Regulation shall be authorised for those products.
The following are also authorised:
sweetening, subject to a declaration and registration requirement, where the products used have not been enriched with concentrated grape must, by means of:
concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must, provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not more than 3 % vol.,
concentrated grape must, rectified concentrated grape must or partially fermented grape must obtained from raisined grapes for Spanish wines described by the traditional term ‘vino generoso de licor’ and provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not more than 8 % vol.,
concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must for liqueur wines with the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’ and provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not more than 8 % vol.;
the addition of alcohol, distillate or spirits, as referred to in paragraphs 3(e) and (f) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, in order to compensate for losses due to evaporation during ageing;
ageing in vessels at a temperature not exceeding 50 °C, for liqueur wines with the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’.
The vine varieties from which the products referred to in paragraph 3(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 used for the preparation of liqueur wines and liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication are produced shall be selected from those referred to in Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008.
The natural alcoholic strength by volume of the products referred to in paragraph 3(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 used for the preparation of a liqueur wine other than a liqueur wine with a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication may not be less 12 % vol.
The list of liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin whose production involves the use of grape must or the mixture of grape must with wine, referred to in the fourth indent of paragraph 3(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, is given in Appendix 1 A to this Annex.
The list of liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin to which the products referred to in paragraph 3(f) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 may be added is given in Appendix 1 B to this Annex.
The products referred to in paragraph 3(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 and concentrated grape must and partially fermented grape must obtained from raisined grapes referred to in paragraph 3(f)(iii) of that Annex IV used for the preparation of liqueur wine with a protected designation of origin must come from the region whose name the liqueur wine with a protected designation of origin in question bears.
However, for liqueur wines with the protected designations of origin ‘Málaga’ and ‘Jerez-Xérès-Sherry’, the grape must, concentrated grape must or, pursuant to paragraph 4 of point B of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, the partially fermented grape must obtained from raisined grapes referred to in paragraph 3(f)(iii) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 obtained from the ‘Pedro Ximénez’ vine variety may come from the Montilla-Moriles region.
The operations referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 of point A of this Annex for the preparation of a liqueur wine with a protected designation of origin may be performed only within the region referred to in paragraph 3.
However, as regards the liqueur wine with a protected designation of origin for which the designation ‘Porto’ is reserved for the product prepared from grapes obtained from the region delimited as the ‘Douro’, the additional manufacturing and ageing processes may take place either in the aforementioned region or in Vila Nova de Gaia — Porto.
Without prejudice to any provisions of a more restrictive nature which the Member States may adopt for liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin prepared within their territory:
the natural alcoholic strength by volume of the products referred to in paragraph 3(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 used for the preparation of a liqueur wine with a protected designation of origin may not be less than 12 % vol. However, some liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin on one of the lists given in Appendix 2 A to this Annex may be obtained from:
grape must with a natural alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 10 % vol. in the case of liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin obtained by the addition of spirit obtained from wine or grape marc with a designation of origin, possibly from the same holding; or
partially fermented grape must or, in the case of the second indent below, from wine with an initial natural alcoholic strength by volume of not less than:
11 % vol. in the case of liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin obtained by the addition of neutral alcohol, or of a distillate of wine with an actual alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 70 % vol., or of spirit of vinous origin,
10,5 % vol. for wines prepared from white grape must referred to in list 3 given in Appendix 2 A,
9 % vol. in the case of a Portuguese liqueur wine with the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’, the production of which is traditional and customary in accordance with the national legislation, which makes express provision for such a wine;
the list of liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin with, notwithstanding paragraph 3(b) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, a total alcoholic strength by volume of less than 17,5 % vol. but not less than 15 % vol., where national legislation applicable thereto before 1 January 1985 expressly so provides, is given in Appendix 2 B.
The specific, traditional terms ‘οίνος γλυκύς φυσικός’, ‘vino dulce natural’, ‘vino dolce naturale’ and ‘vinho doce natural’ shall be used only for liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin:
obtained from harvests at least 85 % of which are of the vine varieties listed in Appendix 3,
derived from musts with an initial natural sugar content of at least 212 grams per litre,
obtained by adding alcohol, distillate or spirits, as referred to in paragraph 3(e) and (f) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 to the exclusion of any other enrichment.
Insofar as is necessary to conform to traditional production practices, Member States may, for liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin produced within their territory, stipulate that the specific traditional name ‘vin doux naturel’ is used only for liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin which are:
made directly by producers harvesting the grapes and exclusively from their harvests of Muscatel, Grenache, Maccabeo or Malvoisie grapes; however, harvests may be included which have been obtained from vineyards that are also planted with vine varieties other than the four indicated above provided these do not constitute more than 10 % of the total stock,
obtained within the limit of a yield per hectare of 40 hl of grape must referred to in the first and fourth indents of paragraph 3(c) of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, any greater yield resulting in the entire harvest ceasing to be eligible for the description ‘vin doux naturel’,
derived from a grape must as referred to above with an initial natural sugar content of at least 252 grams per litre,
obtained, to the exclusion of any other enrichment, by the addition of alcohol of vinous origin amounting in pure alcohol to a minimum of 5 % of the volume of the grape must as referred to above used and a maximum represented by the lower of the following two proportions:
either 10 % of the volume of the abovementioned grape must used, or,
40 % of the total alcoholic strength by volume of the finished product represented by the sum of the actual alcoholic strength by volume and the equivalent of the potential alcoholic strength by volume calculated on the basis of 1 % vol. of pure alcohol for 17,5 grams of residual sugar per litre.
The specific traditional name ‘vino generoso’ shall be used only for dry liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin developed totally or partly under flor and:
obtained only from white grapes obtained from the Palomino de Jerez, Palomino fino, Pedro Ximénez, Verdejo, Zalema and Garrido Fino vine varieties,
released to the market after it has been matured for an average of two years in oak barrels.
Development under flor as referred to in the first subparagraph means the biological process which, occurring when a film of typical yeasts develops spontaneously at the free surface of the wine after total alcoholic fermentation of the must, gives the product specific analytic and organoleptic characteristics.
The specific traditional name ‘vinho generoso’ shall be used only for liqueur wines with the protected designations of origin ‘Porto’, ‘Madeira’, ‘Moscatel de Setubal’ and ‘Carcavelos’ in association with the respective designation of origin.
The specific traditional name ‘vino generoso de licor’ shall be used only for liqueur wines with a protected designation of origin:
obtained from ‘vino generoso’, as referred to in paragraph 8, or from wine under flor capable of producing such a ‘vino generoso’, to which either partially fermented grape must obtained from raisined grapes or concentrated grape must has been added,
released to the market after it has been matured for an average of two years in oak barrels,

Any allyl isothiocyanate present in the wine is collected by distillation and identified by gas chromatography.
Put two litres of wine into the distillation flask, introduce a few millilitres of ethanol (paragraph 2.1) into the two collecting tubes so that the porous parts of the gas dispersion rods are completely immersed. Cool the two tubes externally with the freezing mixture. Connect the flask to the collecting tubes and begin to flush the apparatus with nitrogen at a rate of three litres per hour. Heat the wine to 80 °C with the heating mantle, distil and collect 45 to 50 ml of the distillate.
Stabilize the chromatograph. It is recommended that the following conditions are used:
injector temperature: 200 °C,
column temperature: 130 °C,
helium carrier gas flow rate: 20 ml per minute.
With the microsyringe, introduce a volume of the standard solution such that the peak corresponding to the allyl isothiocyanate can easily be identified on the gas chromatogram.
Similarly introduce an aliquot of the distillate into the chromatograph. Check that the retention time of the peak obtained corresponds with that of the peak of allyl isothiocyanate.
Under the conditions described above, compounds naturally present in the wine will not produce interfering peaks on the chromatogram of the sample solution.
The test sample is treated by a strongly acid cation exchanger. The cations are exchanged with H+. Total cations are expressed by the difference between the total acidity of the effluent and that of the test sample.
glass electrode, kept in distilled water,
calomel/saturated potassium chloride reference electrode, kept in a saturated solution of potassium chloride, or
a combined electrode, kept in distilled water,
Use the solution obtained by diluting the rectified concentrated must to 40 % (m/v): introduce 200 g of accurately weighed rectified concentrated must into a 500 ml volumetric flask. Make up to the mark with water and homogenise.
Introduce into the column approximately 10 ml pre-swollen ion exchanger in H + form. Rinse the column with distilled water until all acidity has been removed, using the paper indicator to monitor this.
Pass 100 ml of the rectified concentrated must solution prepared as in paragraph 4.1 through the column at the rate of one drop every second. Collect the effluent in a beaker. Rinse the column with 50 ml of distilled water. Titrate the acidity in the effluent (including the rinse water) with the 0,1 M sodium hydroxide solution until the pH is 7 at 20 °C. The alkaline solution should be added slowly and the solution continuously shaken. Let n ml be the volume of 0,1 M sodium hydroxide solution used.
The total cations are expressed in milliequivalents per kilogram of total sugar to one decimal place.U.K.
Acidity of the effluent expressed in milliequivalents per kilogram of rectified concentrated must:
Where E = The free sulphur dioxide in milligrams per litre is 2,5 n.
Total acidity of the rectified concentrated must in milliequivalents per kilogram: a.
Total cations in milliequivalents per kilogram of total sugars:
((2,5n-a)/(P)) × 100
P = percentage concentration (m/m) of total sugars.
The electrical conductivity of a column of liquid defined by two parallel platinum electrodes at its ends is measured by incorporating it in one arm of a Wheatstone bridge.
The conductivity varies with temperature and it is therefore expressed at 20 °C.
Dissolve 0,581 g of potassium chloride, KCl, previously dried to constant mass at a temperature of 105 °C, in demineralised water (paragraph 3.1). Make up to one litre with demineralised water (paragraph 3.1). This solution has a conductivity of 1 000 μS cm–1 at 20 °C. It should not be kept for more than three months.
Use the solution with a total sugar concentration of 25 % (m/m) (25° Brix): weigh a mass equal to 2 500/P and make up to 100 g with water (paragraph 3.1), where P = percentage (m/m) concentration of total sugars in the rectified concentrated must.
Bring the sample to be analysed to 20 °C by immersion in a waterbath. Maintain the temperature to within ± 0,1 °C.
Rinse the conductivity cell twice with the solution to be examined.
Measure the conductivity and express the result in μS cm–1.
The result is expressed in microsiemens per cm (μScm–1) at 20 °C to the nearest whole number for the 25 % (m/m) (25° Brix) solution of rectified concentrated must.
If the apparatus does not have temperature compensation, correct the measured conductivity using Table I. If the temperature is below 20 °C, add the correction; if the temperature is above 20 °C, subtract the correction.

If kept in a hermetically sealed brown glass bottle in a refrigerator, this solution will keep for two to three months.
Use the solution obtained by diluting the rectified concentrated must to 40 % (m/v) (introduce 200 g of accurately weighed rectified concentrated must into a 500 ml volumetric flask. Make up to the mark with water and homogenise) and filter it through a membrane filter (0,45 μm).
Inject 5 (or 10) μl of the sample prepared as described in paragraph 3.3.1. and 5 (or 10) μl of the reference hydroxymethylfurfural solution (paragraph 3.2.5) into the chromatograph. Record the chromatogram.

250 × ((C)/(P))
P = percentage (m/m) concentration of total sugars in the rectified concentrated must.
Heavy metals are revealed in the suitably diluted rectified concentrated must by the coloration produced by the formation of sulphides. They are assessed by comparison with a standard lead solution corresponding to the maximum admissible concentration.
The chelate given by lead with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate is extracted with methylisobutylketone and the absorbence measured at 283,3 nm. The lead content is determined by using known additional amounts of lead in a set of reference solutions.

Prepare three reference solutions containing, in addition to 10 g of rectified concentrated must, 1, 2 and 3 ml respectively of the solution containing 0,010 g/l of lead (paragraph 3.2.4). Treat these in the same way as the solution to be examined.
Prepare a control by proceeding under the same conditions as in paragraph 3.3.1, but without the addition of the rectified concentrated must.
Set the wavelength to 283,3 nm.
Atomise the methylisobutylketone from the control sample in the flame and zero the absorbence scale.
By operating with their respective solvent extracts, determine the absorbences of the solution to be examined and the reference solutions.
Express the lead content in milligrams per kilogram of rectified concentrated must to one decimal place.
Plot the curve giving the variation in absorbence as a function of the lead concentration added to the reference solutions, zero concentration corresponding to the solution to be examined.
Extrapolate the straight line joining the points until it cuts the negative part of the concentration axis. The distance of the point of intersection from the origin gives the lead concentration in the solution to be examined.
This method is used for the determination of the alcoholic strength of low-alcohol liquids such as musts, concentrated musts and rectified concentrated musts.

Dissolve 33,600 g of potassium dichromate, (K2Cr2O7), in sufficient quantity of water to make one litre of solution at 20 °C.
One millilitre of this solution oxidizes 7,8924 mg of alcohol.
Dissolve 135 g of iron (II) ammonium sulphate, Fe SO4, (NH4)2SO4, 6 H2O in sufficient quantity of water to make one litre of solution and add 20 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid, (H2SO4), (ρ20 = 1,84 g/ml). This solution more or less corresponds to half its volume of dichromate solution when just prepared. Subsequently, it oxidizes slowly.
Dissolve 1,088 g of potassium permanganate, KMnO4, in a sufficient quantity of water to make one litre of solution.
A little at a time and stirring continuously, add 500 ml of sulphuric acid, (H2SO4) (ρ20 = 1,84 g/ml) to 500 ml of water.
Dissolve 0,695 g of ferrous sulphate, FeSO4, 7 H2O, in 100 ml of water, and add 1,485 g of orthophenanthroline monohydrate, C12H8N2, H2O. Heat to help the dissolution. This bright red solution keeps well.
Place 100 g of rectified concentrated must and 100 ml of water in the distillation flask. Collect the distillate in a 100 ml volumetric flask and make up to the mark with water.
Take a 300 ml flask with a ground glass stopper and with a widened neck enabling the neck to be rinsed without loss. In the flask, place 20 ml of the titrant potassium dichromate solution (paragraph 3.1) and 20 ml of the 1:2 (v/v) dilute sulphuric acid (paragraph 3.4) and shake. Add 20 ml of the distillate. Stopper the flask, shake, and wait at least 30 minutes, shaking occasionally. (This is the ‘measurement’ flask.)
Carry out the titration of the iron (II) ammonium sulphate solution (paragraph 3.2) with respect to the potassium dichromate solution by placing in an identical flask the same quantities of reagents but replacing the 20 ml of distillate by 20 ml of distilled water. (This is the ‘control’ flask.)
Add four drops of the orthophenanthroline reagent (paragraph 3.5) to the contents of the ‘measurement’ flask. Titrate the excess dichromate by adding to it the iron (II) ammonium sulphate solution (paragraph 3.2). Stop adding the ferrous solution when the mixture changes from green-blue to brown.
To judge the end-point more precisely, change the colour of the mixture back from brown to green-blue with the potassium permanganate solution (paragraph 3.3). Subtract a tenth of the volume of this solution used from the volume of the iron (II) solution added. Let the difference be n ml.
Proceed in the same way with the ‘control’ flask. Let n′ ml be the difference here.
The ethanol is expressed in grams per kilogram of total sugars and is quoted to one decimal place.
n′ ml of ferrous solution reduces 20 ml of dichromate solution which oxidizes 157,85 mg of pure ethanol.
One millilitre of iron (II) solution has the same reducing power as:
((157,85)/(n)) mg of ethanol
n-n′ ml of iron (II) solution have the same reducing power as:
157,85 × ((n′ — n)/(n)) mg of ethanol.
Ethanol concentration in g/kg of rectified concentrated must is given by:
7,892 × ((n′ — n)/(n))
Ethanol concentration in g/kg of total sugars is given by:
789,2 × ((n′ — n)/(n′ × P))
P = percentage (m/m) concentration of total sugars in the rectified concentrated must.
Gas chromatography of silylated derivatives.
Operating conditions: carrier gas: hydrogen or helium
carrier gas flow rate: about 2 ml/minute,
injector and detector temperature: 300 °C,
programming of temperature: 1 minute at 160 °C, 4 °C per minute to 260 °C, constant temperature of 260 °C for 15 minutes,
splitter ratio: about 1:20.
An accurately weighed sample of about 5 g of rectified concentrated must is placed in a 50 ml flask. 1 ml of standard solution of xylitol (paragraph 2.1) is added and water added to capacity. After mixing, 100 μl of solution is taken and placed in a flask (point 3.6) where it is dried under a gentle stream of air. 100 μl of absolute ethyl alcohol may be added if necessary to facilitate evaporation.
The residue is carefully dissolved in 100 μl of pyridine (paragraph 2.4) and 100 μl of bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (paragraph 2.2) and 10 μl of trimethylchlorosilane (paragraph 2.3) are added. The flask is closed with the Teflon stopper and heated at 60 °C for one hour.
Draw off 0,5 μl of clear fluid and inject using a heated hollow needle in accordance with the stated splitter ratio.
60 g/l of glucose, 60 g/l of fructose, 1 g/l of meso-inositol and 1 g/l of sucrose.
5 g of the solution is weighed and the procedure at paragraph 4 followed. The results for meso-inositol and sucrose with respect to xylitol are calculated from the chromatogram.
In the case of scyllo-inositol, which is not commercially available and has a retention time lying between the last peak of the anomeric form of glucose and the peak for meso-inositol (see diagram), the same result as for meso-inositol is taken.
Sucrose is expressed in grams per kilogram of must.
