REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER
Vintner's Cellar uses only Ultra-Pure reverse osmosis water in our concentrated wine kits.
This proven technology is one of the most effective forms of water treatment available today. It is a process which typically removes 95-99% of dissolved matter from the water, including harmful contaminants such as lead, arsenic and nitrates. They also remove a high percentage of added fluoride.
It is the best technology available for the removal of chloramines, which many city water systems now use instead of chlorine and can make disinfection afterward much more efficient and effective.
Taste is obviously very subjective, but reverse osmosis water is usually rated as better tasting than tap water by people who directly compared the two in blind taste tests, according to the
National Rural Water Association.
Lead, iron, nitrates, sulfur-based compounds and various chemical residues can make tap water unpalatable. The removal of substances by reverse osmosis ensures our wine making water is clean and fresh. The use of reverse osmosis guarantees a wine making process that creates an exceptionally great tasting wine, every time.
