Technology & quality
TUBES uses patented technology and packaging in a nitrogen-sealed production facility to minimize the wines' exposure to oxygen. By using liquid nitrogen, the wines retain their organoleptic quality, as well as the complete bouquet, flavor profile and mouthfeel. During the fractionation process. Once in a tube, the wine is stable for at least 6 to 9 months in plastic after bottling and up to 24 months in glass tubes, depending on the type and quality of the product in question.
The production facility is fully certified to the highest HACCP and international IFS standards. TUBES also has a SKAL Biocontrol certification for bottling organic products under the organic quality mark. TUBES also has a professional wine laboratory.
