In the experimental part of this work, the natural bacterial load of both so-called “cottage sterile” new glass wine bottles and cleaned reusable wine bottles was recorded under real storage and operating conditions. The results showed that even brand-new glass had relevant bacterial counts and contaminants such as dust, especially when packaging was damaged or stored for a long time (10 CFU). In the case of reusable bottles, there was a significant difference between professionally cleaned bottles with a short storage period (2 CFU) and manually cleaned bottles with a long storage period (>300 CFU). These initial values underline the need for additional hygiene steps for both new and reusable wine bottles before filling. The work underscores the practicality of Cold Atmospheric Plasma Aerosol (CAP-A) for this application under optimized conditions.

The aim of the work was a comparative effectiveness test of Cold Atmospheric Plasma-Aerosol (CAP-A) and SO₂ under laboratory and practical conditions with regard to the antimicrobial performance and a possible remanence effect with regard to the preservation of wooden barrels. Four strains of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated on a laboratory scale, while in practical testing, new oak barrels were specifically contaminated with Dekkera bruxellensis and then treated. The work provides initial practical findings on the suitability of Cold Atmospheric Plasma-Aerosol (CAP-A) in winemaking. It shows the potential of a chemical-, residue-free alternative to SO₂.
