How do I determine if my wine needs bentonite?

You should first use `analyze_instability` with your lab results (heat and ethanol tests) to get an instability score. If the score indicates high risk, use `calculate_bentonite_dose` to find the required amount.

What is the risk of using too much bentonite?

Excessive bentonite can strip wine of desirable characteristics like mouthfeel and aroma. Use `evaluate_fining_risk` to check if your calculated dose poses a high risk to the wine's structure.

Can I use alternatives to bentonite?

Yes. If `evaluate_fining_risk` indicates a high risk of overfining, you can use `suggest_alternatives` to receive recommendations for methods like using mannoproteins or chitosan.

Wine Protein Stability Analyzer MCP Connector for Claude

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides enologists with a suite of analytical tools to manage protein stability in wine. By using analyze_instability, users can quantify the risk of protein precipitation based on lab test results. The server then enables precise stabilization planning through calculate_bentonite_dose, assesses sensory impact with evaluate_fining_risk, and offers alternative stabilization methods via suggest_alternatives when overfining is a concern. Additionally, predict_haze_formation helps forecast visual clarity during storage.
