Beverage Authenticity Testing

We help drinks producers and brand owners verify product quality, support accurate labelling and detect adulterants, using a multidisciplinary approach built on advanced analytical science.

What we test

Our beverage testing programme covers alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. From wine and spirits authenticity to fruit juice origin verification, we assess products against known and emerging adulteration tactics, giving you confidence in what you're selling and how it's labelled.

Wine and spirits authenticity

We provide an overall snapshot of wine and spirits samples, evaluating quality and identifying adulterants, supporting accurate labelling and strengthening brand integrity.

Alcoholic strength verification

We determine alcoholic strength by volume (% vol) for labelling compliance across a range of alcoholic beverages.

Sulphur dioxide testing

We measure free and total SO₂ levels in wine - essential for legal compliance and label declarations.

Natamycin screening

Our methods accurately detect and quantify natamycin in alcoholic beverages, supporting quality control and regulatory compliance.

Fruit juice origin verification

Using stable isotope analysis of oxygen signatures, we verify 'not from concentrate' labelling claims and can detect added water in fruit juice samples.
