Hygiene control on bottling line of still wines

Scope of application

In a bottling line situation, the customer is usually in charge of the bottled wine distribution, that is to say, he will have to assume the consequences of a low level of bottling hygiene.
It is therefore legitimate for him to ensure product quality with the relevant specifications.
These guidelines aim to help partners develop together a list of requirements to be observed and checked depending on the types of wine bottling and markets.
For more information on this, see the specifications of the quality Cetie GUIDELINES N°13 - MOBILE BOTTLING FOR STILL WINES.
