Wines — Methods of Test IS 7585 : 2026

Indian Standards aren't limited to product specifications — many, like IS 7585, define the testing methodology that keeps quality checks consistent across labs and manufacturers.

IS 7585 : 2026 For Wines — Methods of Test is the Bureau of Indian Standards' reference for how wine composition should be analyzed. The Bureau has established this Second Revision on 21 July 2026, replacing IS 7585 : 1995 (Wines — Methods of Analysis, First Revision), which will continue to remain valid alongside the new standard until 21 January 2027.

IS 7585 lays down the analytical test methods used to evaluate wine, covering parameters such as pH, total acidity, residual sugar, and alcohol content. These methods are referenced by testing laboratories and by wine product standards to verify composition and quality, ensuring results are consistent and comparable regardless of which lab performs the test.

What does IS 7585 cover?

IS 7585 specifies the analytical test methods used to evaluate wine, covering parameters such as pH, total acidity, residual sugar, and alcohol content.

Which BIS standard governs wine testing methods?

Testing of wine composition must follow IS 7585 : 2026, which is referenced by testing laboratories and by wine product standards for consistent, comparable results.

Who uses IS 7585?

Testing laboratories, quality control departments, and wine manufacturers use IS 7585 as the reference methodology when analyzing wine samples for composition and quality parameters.

Does a manufacturer need BIS certification for wine under this standard?

No. IS 7585 is a test-methods standard, not a product specification, so there is no ISI Mark certification issued directly against it. It is used as the reference procedure when testing wine against other applicable standards or regulations.
