Wine Barrel Humidity Control (Fog
Systems)
Wine makers throughout the world have always suffered large losses in barrel rooms due to low
humidity levels. The "New World" wines from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere have not had
the benefit of large underground wine cellars with naturally high humidity levels. They have had to
move to modern-day constructions and create artificial environments resulting in humidity levels as
low as 5%.
Wines in barrel rooms can lose up to 15% volume through the barrel over a two-year period due to
fluctuations in humidity levels. "Topping-Off" is an exhausting and time-consuming process to
replace these losses. Oak barrels in use or in store suffer from the swings in humidity and can be
damaged even before use.
COOLLINE fog systems has specifically developed this humidification system for wineries and barrel
rooms. Expertly designed, these tailor-made systems are installed in the barrel room to accurately
maintain the humidity level to around 85%. Flexible nozzle lines are mounted in the storage
warehouse to give an equal distribution of the humidity. The system leaves no wetting of the floors
or barrels when in operation and does not affect the stored wine.
