Not All Alcohol Removal Is the Same

Don't Reconstruct Your Flavor — Refine It!

Feature Winesecrets
RO + Column Distillation
Standard
Cone Process
🌡️Temperature Impact Operates at low temperature; minimal volatile loss
Our RO + Column Distillation process operates at low temperatures, preserving delicate aromatics and flavor compounds that are lost in high-heat processes.
Thermal cycling strips delicate aromatics
Traditional cone systems use thermal cycling that strips away the delicate aromatic compounds that give wine its distinctive character and complexity.
🍇Aromatic Retention 100% of aromatics retained throughout process
Our process retains 100% of your wine's natural aromatics. Because we never lose them in the first place, your wine's natural bouquet stays exactly as you crafted it. No add-back needed.
Significant aromatic loss despite reintroduction
Standard cone processes require capturing aromatics before processing and reintroducing them afterward. However, only a small fraction can be added back, resulting in significant aromatic concentration loss compared to the original wine.
📊Batch Size Flexible processing from small lots to commercial scale
Whether you're a boutique winery with small lots or a large producer, our system scales efficiently from small batch sizes to full commercial volumes without compromising quality.
Comparable minimum batch sizes available
Modern cone systems can accommodate similar small batch sizes, with minimum processing volumes generally starting around 120-250 gallons.
🎯Precision Control Adjustable in 0.1% ABV increments with zero aromatic loss
Fine-tune your alcohol content with surgical precision in 0.1% ABV increments. Hit your exact target every time with full aromatic retention for perfect balance and label compliance.
Aromatics extracted with alcohol regardless of target
While cone systems can hit precise alcohol targets by overshooting and fortifying back (±0.03%), the fundamental issue is that aromatic compounds are extracted along with the ethanol, causing flavor loss regardless of precision.
🍷Flavor Integrity Original texture and structure preserved; pure ethanol removal
Our membrane technology protects wine components above 100 molecular weight, ensuring your wine's mouthfeel, structure, and complexity remain unchanged. We remove ethanol with minimal water loss, maintaining your wine's balance.
Alters mouthfeel and balance; removes excess water
Cone systems remove >3x more water along with ethanol, leading to volume loss and concentration of acids. Combined with heat and mechanical stress, this alters wine structure, mouthfeel, balance, and overall sensory experience.
⚙️Integration Quick turnaround; on-site processing available
Our process integrates smoothly into your existing workflow with fast turnaround times. In certain circumstances, we can bring our mobile system directly to your facility for ultimate convenience.
Typically requires off-site processing
Standard cone processes generally require shipping your wine to a processing facility, adding logistics complexity and time to your production schedule.

Column precision. Flavor integrity. No aroma loss.
