For over 40 years, BioSystems has been offering solutions for the efficient control of wine, all over the world! Wine is a living organism, which must be systematically controlled, in order to live healthily and within parameters defined by the grapevine variety, style, terroir, mastery of the oenologist.
Any biological process in the living world requires equilibrium. In living systems, this balance between inputs and outputs is maintained by control or self-control. In recent years, more and more emphasis has been placed on food safety.
It is imperative that wine, as a food product, be safe for human consumption. And the analytical control of wine is an absolutely necessary step in the production and making it available to consumers.

What does a BioSystems analytical system do?
Starting with monitoring the progress of ripening in the vineyard, in order to produce a wine that reflects all the work in the plantation and in the winery, a series of analyzes are necessary, which starts with that of sugars, of the content of sulphites and continues throughout the life of the wine in winery or wine cellar, with the determination of at least the parameters that the specific legislation stipulates as mandatory:
- total and acquired alcoholic strength, in % volume
- total sugars (expressed as glucose and fructose) in g/l
- total acidity, in g/l in tartaric acid
- volatile acidity, in g/l in acetic acid
- free sulfur dioxide, in mg/l
- total sulfur dioxide, in mg/l
- non-reducing dry extract, in g/l
- the pressure in the bottle, in bars, for sparkling wines
BioSystems offers accredited analysis methods, pre-programmed and validated by its specialists, to minimize user intervention.
The analyzed data are integrated into the laboratory’s computer system, bidirectional (export results / import tests), where they can be stored, archived and extracted at any time for various statistical uses.
The analyzed data can be printed on the analysis bulletin with complete product data and the laboratory letterhead, as provided by the Romanian and Community legislation in force.
