What you mean by Sanitation and what is the importance of it in wine making?

If you are not very pleased with your latest wine that you have brewed at home self then, look at your kitchen sink to logically understand the reason behind it. There has been a concept and rightly so as far as I think that 90 percent wine-making efforts fail only due to poor cleaning or faulty sanitation.  There is a common symptom of wines that has been made under poor sanitation and that is either its taste will be “”off” or it will be “off” odor.

Wine will be totally of waste quality if it has been made under worst conditions and it will be certainly a matter of shame for a home brewer. It is more important to understand here that what does the exactly “Sanitation” means in wine making. It should be also clear that Sanitation does not mean the same thing as cleaning or sterilization. Sanitizing refers to the process of reducing or removing bacteria and other undesirable microorganisms via heat or any chemical means. Cleaning just refers to removing any visible dirt or residue from the wine equipment while on the other hand sterilization refers to the process of killing everything including germs and worms too. Also, it is not a realistic approach to create a sterile state during the wine making process. Achieving good sanitation does not require you to be an expert scientist, all it requires to use your common sense like do not use your mouth to start a siphon instead of it you may utilize a sanitized siphoning device or a suction bulb.

Sanitizing is basically done for making our wine making equipment unfavorable to bacteria growth as it should be noted down that bacteria can be very harmful and particular bacteria can just convert your wine into trash-able liquid just like acetic bacteria can turn wine into vinegar.

Cyclical process of cleaning should be followed always and a general thumb rule should be always followed in Sanitation process that wash everything before the use of wine making equipment and then wash all again after your job has finished.
