Potassium Metabisulphite is a widely used winemaking and brewing additive that helps protect beverages from oxidation and spoilage. Commonly used in wine, cider, mead, and fruit wine production, it helps maintain freshness, colour, and flavour throughout fermentation and storage.

When dissolved, potassium metabisulphite releases sulphur dioxide, which helps suppress unwanted microorganisms and reduce oxidation. It is frequently used when processing fruit, protecting juice and must, and preparing beverages for ageing or bottling.

Supplied in a convenient 100 g pouch, it is ideal for regular home fermenters and small scale producers.
