here are three IWS products, FERMENT, ACID and FILTER. Each is a computer
application designed to shed light on a separate area of winemaking. FERMENT
is a system which monitors the progress of fermentations, ACID forecasts changes in
wine acidity, and FILTER predicts the performance of filtrations. They were all created
from a single perspective - that there are aspects of winemaking which can be assessed
more precisely than is possible with traditional methods. It is my feeling that tools built with
this in mind will lead to a greater understanding of the nature of wine, to a reduction in the
level of processing of wines, and to making the winery cellar a nicer and more efficient
place to work.

My name is Kelly Wheat and I am the enologist, software designer and salesperson for IWS.
My aim is to provide tools which will help answer just one question . . .
                                                                   










               We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring
               will be to arrive where we started and to know the place for the first time.
