8 Oxygen Targeting Op6mal Reduced Under- Developed Different Styles Tired Oxidized Less Oxygen Different Shelf- Life More Oxygen

9 The Big Question: How do you quantify optimal?

10 Hard to get an oxygen target from Cork Source: AWRI Long- term Closure Study

11 There is no single current rate

12 How Much Oxygen?

13 Oxygen Targeting Upper Limit Lower Limit Op6mal?

14 Defining the Upper limit What we know People bottle around 30ppm FSO 2 1ppm of oxygen consumes ~ 2-4ppm FSO 2 Aldehydes persist ~ 10ppm FSO 2 What we Believe The customer has a right to expect a shelf-life of 5 years That means Maximum OTR for a wine closure (upper limit) is 5 to 10 ppm O2 over 5 years 1-2ppm Oxygen per year

15 Defining the Lower limit What we know Reduction often requires pre-disposition. Wider range of stylistic opinions for minimum What we believe lower limit is a function of necessary shelf-life and individual wine composition 99%+ of wines do not need more than 10 years of shelf-life Best way to avoid too little oxygen is to hug the wine s oxygen upper-limit! Providing 0.5 to 1ppm of oxygen (if you bottle at 30ppm free) gives you free quality.
