Wine transfer pumps are a critical component of wine production. When it comes to selecting the appropriate wine transfer pump for your site, it is important you understand the different options.

With so many types of wine pumps available, it can be difficult understanding which type of wine pump is suitable for your winery. Depending on the stage of winemaking you are at, there may be different types of wine pumps appropriate. For example, there are pumps suitable for must, with open or flexible impeller characteristics allowing for whole or destemmed grapes, as well as pumps best suited for delicate handling and transfer of the finished product.

Are you gearing up for a busy vintage season? If so, you understand how critical your wine or must pump is. Besides the pump itself, a range of accessories can make the pumping and transfer process that much easier.

Vintage refers to the process of harvesting grapes from their vines when they are perfectly ripe. Winemakers consider the grape’s ripeness, sugar, acid, and tannin levels to determine when they are ready to be picked.
