Vinventions introduces the WQS Color, its latest innovation expanding its line of connected decision-support tools, Wine Quality Solutions (WQS). Designed specifically for cellar work, this portable connected colorimeter assists professionals in easily managing wine color, especially for rosé wines.

Connectivity for Facilitated Decisions
The WQS Color is the third instrument in the WQS series to feature connectivity, promoting increased efficiency in winemaking. By saving each collected data point, the WQS Color feeds a robust database, allowing winemakers to compare results with reference values, benefit from the unmatched expertise of our team, and leverage the substantial volume of analyses performed.

Integration and Flexibility
The WQS Color manages the color of musts and wines according to the phases of vinification. Paired with the Polyscan, the WQS Color alone offers unprecedented flexibility and a robust diagnostic tool, particularly for managing rosé musts. Existing Polyscan customers can opt to add the connected colorimeter at any time, thus enhancing their technological arsenal.

Colorimetric Precision for Managing Rosés
Particularly suited for the production of rosé wines, the WQS Color guides winemakers towards achieving their ideal target color. By providing accurate measurements according to the CIELCh color space, this tool enables a fine characterization of the colors of musts and wines, facilitating blending work and ensuring the continuity of cuvées over vintages.

Ease of Interpretation
Thanks to the direct display of results on an L*/h° color chart, winemakers can instantly visualize the hue and clarity of their samples, greatly simplifying interpretation and decision-making.

Combined Management of Color and Polyphenols
The combination of the WQS Color with the Polyscan opens new possibilities in managing rosé musts, offering a comprehensive diagnostic and management platform. Together, these tools provide the ability to manage the polyphenol content of musts while managing color, switching from one measurement to another within the same application, in order to achieve and maintain the targeted color
