Volatile acidity is one of those numbers every wine lab wants to understand early — not after it has become a sensory, stability, or compliance concern. Since acetic acid is a primary contributor to VA, routine monitoring can help winemakers identify potential issues before they become more difficult, costly, or disruptive to address.
Astoria-Pacific’s rAPID-T System gives wineries an in-house option for Acetic Acid analysis, along with other key wine tests including Glucose+Fructose, L-Malic Acid, Ammonia, NOPA, and Total Sulfite.
Designed for small to large-scale wineries, the rAPID-T allows operators to select the specific tests they need on each sample, automate common analyses, and keep production moving with timely, reliable data. The system can also help reduce the time and labor associated with manual testing while giving your team more control over when and how routine analysis gets done.
Whether you are tracking fermentation, preparing for bottling, or looking for a practical way to strengthen your winery lab, Astoria-Pacific can help you bring reliable chemistry in-house.
