Compressed air and nitrogen solutions for every stage of winemaking

From grape to glass, compressed air and nitrogen play a vital role in modern winemaking. At every stage of the process, from crushing grapes to bottling the final product, reliable, clean air and inert gases help maintain quality, boost efficiency, and protect the integrity of your wine.
 

Aeration 
Aeration is a key winemaking step where oxygen is gently introduced into the wine to soften its structure and enhance flavor development. Controlled aeration using compressed air systems sensures consistency and precision before bottling.

 

Bottling 

Bottling is one of the most critical applications for compressed air and nitrogen generators in winemaking.

  • Compressed air powers the transfer of wine from barrels or tanks into bottles with controlled pressure.

  • Nitrogen (N₂) protects the wine by displacing oxygen in empty bottles before filling, helping prevent oxidation and preserve freshness. It is also used to purge carbon gases before capping.

Crushing & Pressing Grapes 

Grape Crushing and Pressing

Gone are the days of grape stomping, modern wineries rely on compressed air for more efficient juice extraction.

  • During pressing, compressed air inflates a bladder inside the grape press. This gentle, consistent pressure squeezes juice through vent holes without damaging the grape skins, enhancing yield and wine clarity.

Labeling 

Compressed air systems are used to apply labels smoothly and accurately onto each wine bottle, ensuring a polished and professional finish for your product on store shelves.

Sparging 

Nitrogen sparging is used to remove dissolved oxygen from the wine by injecting fine nitrogen bubbles into the liquid. This step helps maintain taste and aroma, particularly in white wines, by minimizing oxidation.
