In general, Memstar Reverse Osmosis is used to “surgically” remove a low-molecular-weight constituent of the wine with minimal changes in the rest of the wine’s composition.

  • Reduce excess alcohol
  • Remove volatile acidity
  • Remove Brettanomyces taint compounds (4-EP and 4-EG)
  • Remove smoke taint compounds
