International Awarded WineryDuring my internship in the wine industry, I was responsible for a range of tasks related to the production and analysis of fermented must and wine. My key responsibilities included conducting sensorial analysis of the fermented must in order to assess the quality and character of the wine, preparing the indigenous yeast population and their inoculation in tanks, monitoring the fermentation process, and performing wine analysis such as residual sugars, total acidity, volatile acidity, pH, alcohol, and turbidity management. Additionally, I was responsible for grape sampling in order to determine their maturity based on Baumé. Also, I trained to use various oenological machinery such as pumps, press machine, vacuum filter, pH stabilator, sorting table, and bottling machine. I also assisted in wine tastings and tours, which provided me with a deeper understanding of the wine industry and the different characteristics of wine. Overall, this internship was a great opportunity for me to gain hands-on experience in the wine industry and develop my skills and knowledge in the field.
