Identifying sediment in a bottled wine by membrane filtration and microscopic observation by 100* magnification gave us a diving into the world of yeast. Culture will follow to determine if it is due to filter failure or yeast growth. One of the magical properties of analysis is being able to see the unseen. 🔬🧑‍🔬

It may look like a piece of art but its development in wine is considered as a downside. Generally, crystals have no impact on the sensory characteristics of wine but they are considered as a great flaw from the consumers.

Calcium tartrate crystals are a quite uncommon wine defect which occurs from many factors. Firstly, calcium can be found in soil/grapes. It is also believed that the addition of CaCO3 and processing aids such as cement cooperage, filter pads and fining agents may affect the crystallization to happen.

Calcium tartrate crystals take time to form and this is the reason that they are usually observed in bottled wines. It is known that the cooling of wine helps to sediment the tartrate crystals but not in the case of calcium tartrate!!!

The first image depicts the calcium tartrate crystals under the microscope in 100*10 magnification and the second image shows the crystals under 40*10 magnification.

We are able to identify sediment by the following procedure. Firstly, we examine the sediment with the help of a microscope and we can determine if it is a crystalline structure. Then we are able to do a quantitive analysis of Calcium and Potassium to identify the nature of the crystal.
