About wine lees; argol
cpc code 3917, 'Wine lees; argol', represents a crucial industry within the broader agricultural and food processing sectors. Wine lees, the sediment that settles at the bottom of wine vats, and argol, a byproduct of wine production, are valuable commodities with a wide range of applications. This industry plays a significant role in the global wine and beverage supply chain, contributing to the efficient utilization of resources and the sustainability of the industry.
Production process
The production of wine lees and argol involves the separation and processing of these byproducts during the winemaking process. After the fermentation of grape juice, the wine lees, which contain yeast, tartaric acid, and other compounds, are allowed to settle at the bottom of the vat. These lees are then carefully extracted and further processed to extract valuable components, such as tartaric acid and other chemicals. Argol, on the other hand, is a crystalline deposit that forms on the inside of wine vats during the fermentation process and is also collected and processed.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of wine lees and argol include grapes, wine vats, and specialized equipment for the extraction and processing of these byproducts. Winemakers and producers in the 1102 Grape Growing and 1103 Wine and Distilled Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing industries are the primary suppliers of the raw materials needed for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the wine lees and argol industry are the processed byproducts themselves, which have a variety of applications. Wine lees can be used as a source of tartaric acid, which is used in the 2021 Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing and 3118 Flavoring Syrup and Concentrate Manufacturing industries. Argol, on the other hand, is used in the 3251 Basic Chemical Manufacturing industry as a source of potassium bitartrate, a key ingredient in various chemical products.
