Calculation example
- What you need
- Raise the acidity (add tartaric acid)
- Volume of wine or must
- 5 000 l
- Acidity now (as tartaric)
- 4,20 g/L
- Required acidity
- 5,80 g/L
- Total to add
- 8,00 kg
- That is per 1 L
- 1,60 g/L
- Change in acidity
- 1,60 g/L
How much tartaric acid to add to 5000 L of wine

Frequently asked questions
What is the acidification limit?
Licensing and regional rules limit the dose (often up to 2.5 g/L); always check the current regulations.
