Wine in transition: innovation, exchange and inspiration at the 11th Wine Analysis User Meeting
On May 8 and 9, 2025, the 11th wine analysis User Meeting took place at Hochschule Geisenheim University - an established forum for professionals involved in wine and its analysis. Over 130 participants from Germany, Austria and Switzerland - from wine laboratories, wineries, monitoring centers, research institutions and the equipment and supply industry - came together to discuss current topics in wine analysis.
Prof. Dr. Ralf Schweiggert, Head of the Institute for Beverage Research together with Paul Besrukow

The varied programme of presentations focused on modern analysis methods, sensory evaluation issues, microbiological diagnostics and new approaches in automation and digitalization. The contributions ranged from practical applications to innovative research approaches that meet the challenges of a changing wine industry. A particular focus was on practical solutions for an industry in transition: increasing requirements, growing economic pressure and changing consumer behavior demanded new approaches - both in production and in analytics. The dealcoholization of wine was therefore increasingly in focus - both in the technical program and at the evening event, which included a commented tasting of dealcoholized products, among other things.
The user meeting, which has been held regularly since 2001, once again proved to be a valuable platform for professional exchange, quality assurance in practice and networking between research and industry.
The venue was the newly opened lecture hall building at Hochschule Geisenheim University - a visible sign of the change and future orientation of a university that is actively responding to the challenges of the times with new degree programs, professorships and a strong sense of community.
We would like to thank all participants and contributors for two inspiring days full of impulses, discussions and shared ideas and look forward to the next user meeting at the State Viticulture Institute in Freiburg in 2027!
