Cork Release Tests

Within the Champagne and Sparkling wine markets, cork continues to play a valuable role in the perception of quality and integrity of the final product. Quantify cork performance by undertaking release torque and extraction force tests.

BENEFITS

Cork functionality is of fundamental importance, stopping the oxidation of wines, whilst providing customers easy accessibility to the bottle. Quality control measurements enable you to:

• Evaluate cork seal integrity
• Establish a consistent standard of product quality
• Optimise cork design and enable easy opening
• Test to Champagne industry standards for release torque measurement

TEST SOLUTION

Mecmesin's Cork Extraction Tester performs two critical cork quality tests in just one system! Both release torque of Champagne/Sparkling wine corks and extraction pull-out force of classic still wine corks can be assessed to ensure products meet with expectations.
