22 WINES&VINES April 2018 PRODUCT NEWS New option for stabilizing wines Enartis USA released two products designed to improve the process of stabilizing wines. The company claims the new products will make stabilization easier, faster and cheaper to help wineries bring wines to market more quickly. Ze- nith Uno is designed to stabilize all types of wine, while Zenith Color can also stabilize the anthocyanins in red wines. Both products contain potassium polyaspartate. The com- pany adds gum arabic (Acacia verek) to Zenith Color to stabilize and protect the color in red wines. Rates of addition are 100 ml/HL for Zenith Uno and 200 ml/HL for Ze- nith Color. enartis.com Smart aluminum closure Guala Closures Group unveiled the e-wak closure that it de- scribes as the wine industry's first smart aluminum closure. The clo- sure features an NFC tag devel- oped in partnership with NXP Semiconductors and is designed to help wineries ensure brand au- thenticity and develop one-on- one relationships with consumers. Consumers simply "tap the cap" with a smartphone to see content developed by the winery to com- municate key brand information or to connect with wine apps, wine club offers, loyalty programs and social media. The e-wak can also be used to acquire marketing data, bottle certification and track and trace. gualaclosures.com Pure grape tannins Gusmer Enterprises partnered with Polyphenolics to offer the compa- ny's line of enological tannins pro- duced from wine grapes.
