You can send a sample to Vinquiry and they will do an AO Free SO2 test for
$12.00 If you have a fair amount of wine and do not have AO test equipment
of your own you may wish to consider this. AO is suppose to be superior to
Ripper method for free SO2 determinations. Vinquiry will send you sample
bottles free of charge.
