Angel's Share: Wine Evaporation Calculator

Angel's Share: Wine Evaporation Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate wine evaporation loss and topping requirements during barrel aging.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides precise calculations for the 'Angel's Share'--the volume of wine lost to evaporation during barrel aging. By modeling diffusion through wood staves, it allows winemakers to predict monthly evaporation rates, cumulative losses over time, and the exact volume of wine needed for topping. Use calculate_monthly_evaporation_rate to assess current cellar impact, calculate_cumulative_loss for long-term planning, or compare_barrel_profiles to see how different wood types like French or American oak behave in your specific cellar environment.

What is the expected monthly evaporation rate for a 5-year-old French oak barrel in a cellar at 14°C and 75% humidity?

The expected monthly evaporation rate for your French oak barrel is 0.12%.

How much wine will I lose in total if I age wine in American oak for 24 months at 15°C and 70% humidity?

The total cumulative loss over 24 months in American oak will be 2.85%.

I have 200 liters of wine in a Hungarian oak barrel. How much wine do I need to top it up after 6 months at 13°C and 80% humidity?

You will need 0.74 liters of wine to refill the barrel to its original level.

Different woods have different porosities. You can use `compare_barrel_profiles` to see how French, American, and Hungarian oak differ under your specific cellar conditions.
