Velcorin Services

Mobile Velcorin Dosing

We also offer a mobile Velcorin dosing service. The mobile service can be utilized at the time of bottling, whether or not you are using THE BOTTLE MEISTER's mobile bottling service, and for tank to tank transfers. Velcorin (dimethyl dicarbonate) is an FDA regulated microbial control agent which is highly effective, even in low dosages, against a variety of yeasts (including Brettanomyces), some mold, fungi and bacteria in wine. It works synergistically with SO2 and rapidly breaks down into small amounts of carbon dioxide and methanol, affecting neither the taste, color, nor aroma of the wine. Velcorin has no labeling requirements. According to the United States International Trade Commission, it is currently used by about 10% of the U.S. wine industry to avoid excessive filtration in the manufacturing process. Velcorin is produced by Lanxess Corporation (formerly Bayer A.G.) and is distributed exclusively by Scott Laboratories.
