The Ultimate Wine Geek

[Rebel Rose]

There ought to be a catalog called the Ultimate Wine Geek.

First, there are the tasting room visitors who bring their own glasses, wrapped up in a soft-sided carrying bag designed for them.

But now, there's Metrohm Titrators. I have no idea what one costs, but the company's press release is called "Enjoy a Glass of Wine with Metrohm Titrators." So . . . now you can check your glass of wine for the following values:

pH value.

Total titratable acidity.

Free sulphurous acid.

Total sulphurous acid.

Volatile acids.

Fixed acidity.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

Reducing sugars.

Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Ash and ash alkalinity.

Calcium and magnesium.

Chloride.

Total phosphorus.

Sulfate.

Na, NH4, K, F, alcohol.

How . . . useful . . . .

Thank heavens I'm only a wine buff. I usually only check it to see if it tastes good.

Best,
