Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006026801A1] An improved method of packaging red or white, still or carbonated wine in two piece aluminium cans. The wine has less than 35 ppm of free sulphur dioxide, less than 330 ppm of chloride anions and less than 800 ppm of sulfate anions. The method involves filling an aluminium container body with the wine and sealing the container with an aluminium closure such that the gauge pressure within the can is at least 170 kPa and wherein the inner surfaces of the aluminium container are coated with a corrosion resistant coating and wherein the equilibrium head space composition after packaging has the composition of at least 95% w/w of nitrogen, less than 5% w/w of carbon dioxide, and less than 2% w/w of oxygen; and wherein the temperature of the wine at the time of filling the can body is at 10 degree Celsius. The wines exhibit excellent performance after storage or the quality of the wine does not deteriorate significantly on storage.
