26 WINES&VINES October 2018 PRODUCT NEWS Flash product for boosting wine color WineSecrets released a new prod- uct to boost the color of wines. UX-520 High Color Wine is pro- duced by putting Cabernet Sauvi- gnon or another red wine through flash détente and then running the treated wine through ultrafiltration. The vendor reports the resulting product adds intense color with more red notes rather than brown. UX-520 is wholly derived from vinifera varieties and, according to WineSecrets, adds color without adding residual sugar or alcohol and without the potential to cause problems during additional filtra- tions. winesecrets.com Fence for deer deterrence Deerbusters announced a new addition to its line of steel hex web fence called Hexa-Gone.
