Compare gentle handling, filling, closure and presentation as one packaging decision. Prepare the shortlist with the wine styles and bottles your winery plans to produce.
- Which wine styles and bottle formats have been run on the line?
- Which closure and labelling equipment is included in the sale?
Review a winery bottling run
Request operating evidence that identifies the wine, bottle and closure combination. Observe product handling, filling, closure and presentation through the connected modules. Record how rejects and changes are managed without treating a demonstration as proof for every wine in the portfolio.
Verify identity and scope
Match serial plates, year, manuals, electrical drawings and the seller’s equipment list to every module offered.
Inspect condition
Check wear parts, lubrication, bearings, product-contact areas, safety systems, controls, obsolescence and visible modifications.
Test with evidence
Whenever possible run the equipment with representative product and formats, recording speed, rejects, alarms and changeover requirements.
