4. REAGENTS
All reagents shall be of analytical quality.
Extracting solvents.
Distilled water or deionised water of equivalent purity.
Ethanol, 15 % v/v. Prepare by mixing 15 parts of absolute ethanol with 85 parts of water (point 4.1).
Acetic acid, 5 % m/m. Prepare by mixing 5 parts of glacial acetic acid with 95 parts of water (point 4.1).
5. APPARATUS

Analytical balance, accurate to 0,1 mg.
Evaporator, hot plate or infra-red evaporator.
6. PROCEDURE
Add to each of three separate ion exchange chromatography columns (point 5.1) 50 ml of the ion exchange resin to be tested, washed and treated in accordance with the manufacturer's directions for preparing resins for use with food.
For the anionic resins, pass the three extracting solvents (points 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3) separately through the prepared columns (point 6.1) at a flow rate of 350 to 450 ml/h. Discard the first litre of eluate in each case and collect the next two litres in measuring cylinders (point 5.2). For the cationic resins, pass only solvents referred to in points 4.1 and 4.2 through the columns prepared for this purpose.
Evaporate the three eluates over a hotplate or with an infrared evaporator (point 5.7) in separate evaporating dishes (point 5.3) which have been previously cleaned and weighed (m0). Place the dishes in an oven (point 5.4) and dry to constant weight (m1).
After recording the constant weight (point 6.3), place the evaporating dish in the muffle furnace (point 5.5) and ash to constant weight (m2).
Calculate the organic matter extracted (point 7.1). If the result is greater than 1 mg/l, carry out a blank test on the reagents and recalculate the weight of organic matter extracted.
The blank test shall be carried out by repeating the operations referred to in points 6.3 and 6.4 but using two litres of the extracting solvent, to give weights m3 and m4 in points 6.3 and 6.4 respectively.

Appendix 5
Requirements for electrodialysis treatment
The purpose is to obtain tartaric stability of the wine with regard to potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium tartrate (and other calcium salts) by extraction of ions in supersaturation in the wine under the action of an electrical field and using membranes that are either anion-permeable or cation-permeable.
1. MEMBRANE REQUIREMENTS
1.1. The membranes are to be arranged alternately in a ‘filter-press’ type system or any other appropriate system separating the treatment (wine) and concentration (waste water) compartments.
1.2. The cation-permeable membranes must be designed to extract cations only, in particular K+, Ca++.
1.3. The anion-permeable membranes must be designed to extract anions only, in particular tartrate anions.
1.4. The membranes must not excessively modify the physico-chemical composition and sensory characteristics of the wine. They must meet the following requirements:
The stability of fresh electrodialysis membranes is to be determined using a simulant reproducing the physico-chemical composition of the wine for investigation of possible migration of certain substances from them.
The experimental method recommended is as follows:
The simulant is a water-alcohol solution buffered to the pH and conductivity of the wine. Its composition is as follows:
This solution is used for closed circuit migration tests on an electrodialysis stack under tension (1 volt/cell), on the basis of 50 l/m2 of anionic and cationic membranes, until 50 % demineralisation of the solution. The effluent circuit is initiated by a 5 g/l potassium chloride solution. Migrating substances are tested for in both the simulant and the effluent.
Organic molecules entering into the membrane composition that are liable to migrate into the treated solution will be determined. A specific determination will be carried out for each of these constituents by an approved laboratory. The content in the simulant of all the determined compounds must be less than 50 μg/l.
The general rules on controls of materials in contact with foodstuffs must be applied to these membranes.
2. MEMBRANE UTILISATION REQUIREMENTS

Appendix 8
Requirements for treatment to correct the alcohol content of wines
The aim of treatment to correct alcohol content (‘the treatment’) is to reduce excessive levels of ethanol in wine in order to improve the balance of flavour.
Requirements:
The objectives may be achieved by separation techniques applied separately or in combination.
The wines treated must have no organoleptic faults and must be suitable for direct human consumption.
Elimination of alcohol from the wine may not be carried out if one of the enrichment operations laid down in Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has been applied to one of the wine products used in the preparation of the wine in question.
The alcohol content may be reduced by a maximum of 20 % and the total alcoholic strength by volume of the final product must comply with that defined in point (a) of the second paragraph of point (1) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
The treatment is to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.

The Member States may require this treatment to be notified in advance to the competent authorities.
Appendix 9
Requirements for treatment to reduce the sugar content of musts by membrane coupling
The aim of treatment to reduce sugar content (‘the treatment’) is to remove sugar from a must by membrane coupling linking microfiltration or ultrafiltration to nanofiltration or reverse osmosis.
Requirements:
The treatment induces a reduction in volume as a function of the quantity of the sugar content of the sugar solution removed from the initial must.
The processes must allow the content of must constituents other than the sugars to be preserved.
The reduction in sugar content of musts excludes the correction of the alcohol content of wines which are derived from them.
The treatment must not be used in conjunction with one of the enrichment operations provided for in Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
The treatment is carried out on a volume of must determined as a function of the sugar content reduction objective being sought.
The objective of the first stage is to render the must suitable for the second stage of concentration and to preserve the macromolecules greater in size than the membrane's cut-off threshold. This stage may be carried out by ultrafiltration.
The permeate obtained during the first stage of treatment is then concentrated by nanofiltration or by reverse osmosis.
The original water and the organic acids not retained by nanofiltration in particular may be reintroduced in the treated must.
The treatment must be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.
The membranes used must comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 and with the national provisions adopted for the implementation thereof. They must comply with the requirements of the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV.
Appendix 10
Requirements for the treatment of wines using a membrane technology coupled with activated carbon to reduce excess 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol
The aim of the treatment is to reduce the content of 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol of microbial origin that constitutes organoleptic defects and masks the aromas of the wine.
Requirements:
The treatment is to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician.
►M3 The treatment must be recorded in the register referred to in Article 147(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. ◄
The membranes used must comply with the requirements of Regulations (EC) No 1935/2004 and (EU) No 10/2011 and with the national provisions adopted for the implementation thereof. They must comply with the requirements of the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV.

ANNEX II
AUTHORISED OENOLOGICAL PRACTICES AND RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO SPARKLING WINES, QUALITY SPARKLING WINES AND QUALITY AROMATIC SPARKLING WINES
A. Sparkling wine
1. For the purposes of this point and Sections B and C of this Annex:
‘tirage liqueur’ means the product added to the cuvée to provoke secondary fermentation;
‘expedition liqueur’ means the product added to sparkling wines to give them special taste qualities.
2. The expedition liqueur may contain only:
with the possible addition of wine distillate.
3. Without prejudice to enrichment authorised pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 for the constituents of a cuvée, any enrichment of the cuvée shall be prohibited.
4. However, each Member State may, in respect of regions and varieties for which it is technically justified, authorise the enrichment of the cuvée at the place of preparation of the sparkling wines provided that:
none of the constituents of the cuvée has previously undergone enrichment;
the said constituents are derived solely from grapes harvested in its territory;
the enrichment is carried out in a single operation;
the following limits are not exceeded:
3 % vol. for a cuvée comprising constituents from wine-growing zone A;
2 % vol. for a cuvée comprising constituents from wine-growing zone B;
1,5 % vol. for a cuvée comprising constituents from wine-growing zone C;
the method used is the addition of sucrose, concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must.
5. The addition of tirage liqueur and expedition liqueur shall be considered neither as enrichment nor as sweetening. The addition of tirage liqueur may not cause an increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvée of more than 1,5 % vol. This increase shall be measured by calculating the difference between the total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvée and the total alcoholic strength by volume of the sparkling wine before any expedition liqueur is added.
6. The addition of expedition liqueur shall be carried out in such a way as not to increase the actual alcoholic strength by volume of the sparkling wine by more than 0,5 % vol.
7. Sweetening of the cuvée and its constituents shall be prohibited.
8. In addition to any acidification or deacidification of the constituents of the cuvée in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the cuvée may be subject to acidification or deacidification. Acidification and deacidification of the cuvée shall be mutually exclusive. Acidification may be carried out only up to a maximum of 1,5 grams per litre, expressed as tartaric acid, i.e. 20 milliequivalents per litre.
9. In years of exceptional climate conditions, the maximum limit of 1,5 grams per litre or 20 milliequivalents per litre may be raised to 2,5 grams per litre or 34 milliequivalents per litre, provided that the natural acidity of the products is not less than 3 g/l, expressed as tartaric acid, or 40 milliequivalents per litre.
10. The carbon dioxide contained in the sparkling wines may be produced only as a result of the alcoholic fermentation of the cuvée from which such wine is prepared.
Such fermentation, unless it is intended for processing grapes, grape must or partially fermented grape must directly into sparkling wine, may result only from the addition of tirage liqueur. It may take place only in bottles or in closed tanks.
The use of carbon dioxide in the case of the process of transfer by counter- pressure is authorised under supervision and on condition that the inevitable gaseous exchanges with the carbon dioxide from the alcoholic fermentation of the cuvée do not increase the pressure of carbon dioxide contained in sparkling wines.
11. In the case of sparkling wines other than sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin:
the tirage liqueur intended for their preparation may contain only:
the actual alcoholic strength by volume, including the alcohol contained in any expedition liqueur added, shall be not less than 9,5 % vol.
B. Quality sparkling wine
1. The tirage liqueur intended for the production of a quality sparkling wine may contain only:
sucrose;
concentrated grape must;
rectified concentrated grape must;
grape must or partially fermented grape must; or
wine.
2. Producer Member States may define any supplementary or more stringent characteristics or conditions of production and circulation for quality sparkling wines produced in their territory.
3. The manufacture of quality sparkling wines is also covered by the rules referred to in:
4. As regards quality aromatic sparkling wines:
except by way of derogation, these may be obtained only by making exclusive use, when constituting the cuvée, of grape must or partially fermented grape must derived from wine varieties contained in the list given in the Appendix to this Annex. However, quality aromatic sparkling wine may be produced in the traditional way by using, as constituents of the cuvée, wines obtained from grapes of the ‘Glera’ variety harvested in the regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia;
control of the fermentation process before and after the cuvée has been constituted, in order to render the cuvée sparkling, may be effected only by refrigeration or other physical processes;
the addition of expedition liqueur shall be prohibited;
the length of the production process for quality aromatic sparkling wines may not be less than one month.
C. Sparkling wines and quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin
1. The total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvées intended for the preparation of quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin shall be not less than:
2. However, the cuvées intended for the preparation of quality sparkling wines with the protected designations of origin ‘Prosecco’, ‘Conegliano Valdobbiadene — Prosecco’ and ‘Colli Asolani — Prosecco’ or ‘Asolo — Prosecco’ and prepared from a single vine variety may have a total alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 8,5 % vol.
3. The actual alcoholic strength by volume of quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin, including the alcohol contained in any expedition liqueur added, shall be not less than 10 % vol.
4. The tirage liqueur for sparkling wines and quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin may contain only:
sucrose;
concentrated grape must;
rectified concentrated grape must;
and:
grape must;
partially fermented grape must;
wine;
suitable for yielding the same sparkling wine or quality sparkling wine bearing a protected designation of origin as that to which the tirage liqueur is added.
5. Notwithstanding point 5(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, when kept at a temperature of 20 °C in closed containers of a capacity of less than 25 cl., quality sparkling wines with a protected designation of origin must have an excess pressure of not less than 3 bar.
6. The duration of the process of making quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin, including ageing in the undertaking where they are made and reckoned from the start of the fermentation process designed to make the wines sparkling, may not be less than:
six months where the fermentation process designed to make the wines sparkling takes place in closed tanks;
nine months where the fermentation process designed to make the wines sparkling takes place in the bottles.
7. The duration of the fermentation process designed to make the cuvée sparkling and the duration of the presence of the cuvée on the lees shall not be less than:
8. The rules laid down in points 1 to 10 of Section A and point 2 of Section B shall also apply to sparkling wines and quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin.
9. As regards quality aromatic sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin:
these wines may be obtained solely by using, for constituting the cuvée, grape must or partially fermented grape must of vine varieties on the list given in the Appendix to this Annex, provided that these varieties are recognised as suitable for the production of quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin in the region whose name the quality sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin bear. By derogation, a quality aromatic sparkling wine bearing a protected designation of origin may be produced by using, as constituents of the cuvée, wines obtained from grapes of the ‘Glera’ vine variety harvested in the regions of the designations of origin ‘Prosecco’, ‘Conegliano-Valdobbiadene — Prosecco’, ‘Colli Asolani — Prosecco’ and ‘Asolo — Prosecco’;
control of the fermentation process before and after the cuvée has been constituted, in order to render the cuvée sparkling, may be effected only by refrigeration or other physical processes;
the addition of expedition liqueur shall be prohibited;
the actual alcoholic strength by volume of quality aromatic sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin may not be less than 6 % vol.;
the total alcoholic strength by volume of quality aromatic sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin may not be less than 10 % vol.;
when kept at a temperature of 20 °C in closed containers, quality aromatic sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin must have an excess pressure of not less than 3 bar;
notwithstanding point 6 of this Section, the duration of the process of producing quality aromatic sparkling wines bearing a protected designation of origin must not be less than one month.
