Red Wine: The Structuring Effects from Bottle to Glass
A study conducted by Furman Sensory Dynamics demonstrates how the Sourse Portable Revitalizer improves the taste, texture, and mouthfeel of wine.
Wine flavor and texture are influenced by multiple factors, including grape variety, tannin levels, acidity, and aging methods. For red wines, tannins — derived from grape skins, seeds, stems, and oak barrels — play a major role in a wine’s structure, astringency, and mouthfeel. White wines derive texture primarily from acidity, with different varieties offering a range of sensations: a Chardonnay often feels round and smooth, while a Sauvignon Blanc is sharper and more crisp. Winemakers also manipulate factors such as maceration time, lees aging, and fermentation vessels to shape flavor and texture.
This sensory study explored how structuring water through the Sourse Portable Revitalizer influences these characteristics. Four popular national wines were analyzed in three stages:
Control: Wine poured directly from the bottle into a glass.
Single Revitalization: Wine poured through the Portable Revitalizer into a beaker and back into the bottle.
Triple Pass: Wine poured through the Portable Revitalizer into a tasting glass.
Each sample was evaluated using:
Flavor Profile (Red Wines): 13 key attributes including fruit, tannin, wood, earthy notes, toffee/cacao, and yeast/bready elements.
Flavor Profile (White Wines): 13 attributes including fruit, acidity, tannin, floral, buttery, earthy, and yeast/bready notes.
Texture & Mouthfeel: Assessed on a 13-point scale from harsh to smooth.
The results clearly showed that the Portable Revitalizer enhanced wine structure, improving both flavor clarity and smoothness of mouthfeel. Wine treated with structured water exhibited a more harmonious, balanced, and refined taste, demonstrating how Sourse technology can elevate even complex beverages.
Experience the difference for yourself: structured water doesn’t just hydrate your body — it transforms the experience of every liquid it touches.
