Alcohol Adjustment

Flavor Management

In the early 1990's ConeTech pioneered a technology breakthrough that radically changed how winemakers approach “flavor management” in premium wine. ConeTech provided a foolproof way of adjusting the wine's alcohol level without changing the wine's natural flavor.

More recently, wine marketers have enlisted ConeTech's help in the creation of a whole
new generation of “softer”, “lighter” wines with appeal to a broader range of consumers.

The ConeTech System benefits:

Aroma/Flavor no longer masked by alcohol
Nothing added (only subtracted). As with other mechanical processes (e.g pressing, centrifuging, filtration, cold stabilization, etc.) the SCC simply enables separation of “desirable” from “undesirable” constituents of wine
No water added. No chemicals. Has zero effect on wine's integrity
No “stress” on wine. A problem with some other mechanical processes
Costs only a few cents a bottle
Enables alcohol adjustment to meet tax category requirements
Key to marketing success of many New World wines. Many hundreds of wine show awards (including Wine Spectator “Wine of the Year” award, and many “Top 100” nominations)
Enables creation of “new generation” wines with appeal to millions of new consumers
