Control Cork Taint, Mold, and TCA – Air Purification for Commercial Wine Cellars

For taste and quality, keeping the air in your wine cellar clean is just as important as ensuring the right humidity and temperature. Sanitation throughout your cellars is key to keeping off-flavors from developing in your product – whether from mold or TCA and cork taint. But, did you know that the airborne mold you don’t see can be just as insidious as the mold colonies that form in the darker, more damp areas of the cellar? Air purification is the last line of defense against mold and TCA in your commercial wine cellar.

Your Wine Loves the Cellar, So Does Mold

The conditions that help your wines maintain their flavor or flourish while they age also happen to be similar to those conditions that mold loves. The right relative humidity can reduce evaporative losses in barrels, and low light and mild temperatures help maintain the delicate balance that a good wine needs. But, humid air encourages mold colonies, and wherever a mold colony starts, shortly after it will start sporing. Additionally, cleaning products and molds can interact with natural phenols present in wood barrels or wine corks, creating the TCA molecule that ruins even the best bottles.

All of this exchange requires a medium – the air carries mold spores from active colonies, even small ones, all over your cellar. Stray spores will have all of the time they need to land and begin the reactions that ruin your wines with corky flavors like newspaper and wet cement.

Stop Mold in its Tracks

Even the cleanest wine cellar can be susceptible to mold growth, but what if you could stop mold spores from ever landing in the first place? Airocide is an air purifier specially equipped to handle mold spores and other unwanted organic molecules – even volatile organic compounds (or VOCs) like TCA. It eliminates these threats from the air without producing harmful emissions, keeping your cellar air clean and safe. The best part? It cleans your air without affecting the delicate balance of temperature, humidity, and low light that your wines need to thrive.

Chemical-free Black Mold Control (and More) for Wineries

Preventing black mold is a full-time job when you operate your barrel room or wine cave at the optimal relative humidity for retaining your product. And because wine ages at such a slow rate, barrels aren’t expected to move too much. Cleaning around barrels requires careful precision – and sometimes powerful cleaning chemicals. For some winemakers, chemicals are a non-option – but black mold doesn’t cease being a threat. Airocide presents an elegant, chemical-free solution to control black mold in your cellar, barrel room, or wine cave. You can produce a more natural product, without worry about mold, spoilage bacteria and yeast, or evaporative loss from lower RH. Discover how Airocide protects your product.

Defending Your Winery Against Black Mold

Black mold spreads, like many fungal pathogens, by releasing spores. Black mold can become airborne – and disturbances like changes in air pressure, vibrations, and everyday foot traffic can be enough to send spores flying through the air. It can land on product, and on employees – and as soon as it reaches a suitable organic material it takes hold and grows. For your product, that could mean spoilage – but it also spells danger for employees who could inhale it. Taking control of black mold means eliminating it where it spreads, not just where you find it in your cellar.

The Right Chemical-Free Air Purification

That’s where Airocide can help. As an air purification technology designed to process the air in your facility independently of your HVAC, Airocide continually processes and purifies the air inside your storage areas without disturbing those environmental factors your product depends on as it ages. That means you can operate at the right relative humidity without worrying about providing an environment for fungal spores, spoilage bacteria, and yeast in the air.

Airocide destroys unwanted organic molecules, and it does so without the use of any harsh chemicals or dangerous emissions. That means no peroxides, no ozone, and no volatile organic compounds are produced. Unwanted fungal spores, spoilage bacteria, yeast, and even viruses enter the sealed reaction chamber and are broken down into trace elements of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Not only can this reduce the incidence of infections like black mold, it can also help prevent aging product from developing off flavors.
