The wine industry faces a silent crisis. While consumers savor every nuanced bouquet, most don’t realize nearly 3.2% of premium vintages are lost to oxidation during bottling – enough to fill 17 Olympic swimming pools annually. At Sokos, we’ve transformed this challenge into an art form with our Wine Filling Production Lines technology.
Why Traditional Bottling Methods Are Costing You More Than Wine
The 3 Critical Failures of Outdated Systems
-
Oxidation Roulette
Standard fillers expose wine to 47% more ambient air during transfer versus our nitrogen-purged systems -
Inconsistency Tax
Manual adjustments lead to ±5% volume variance – our automated lines deliver ±0.3% precision -
Hidden Labor Costs
A 10,000-bottle run requires:
-
8 workers on conventional lines
-
Just 2 operators with our automated wine filling production line
