\"Wine is for everyone,\" says the gifted young winemaker Hannes Reeh and calls himself a wine democrat. Drinking wine should be a passion, not a science.<\/p>\n

The Austrian winery Hannes Reeh<\/strong> is located in the wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee in a small community called Andau. In Hannes Reeh's wine compositions, the well-known top brand \"Unplugged\" stands equally for honesty, originality and authenticity.<\/p>\n

Out of the best of each vintage of the Zweigelt, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay varieties, Hannes Reeh produces \"Unplugged\" versions<\/strong> - without any frills.<\/p>\n

Reliable detection of CO2 leaks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The modern technology of wine production is in no way inferior to a very good wine. Especially a CO2<\/sub> gas warning system<\/strong> of the wine tanks is essential.<\/p>\n

In the course of the construction of the new wine warehouse including 60 wine tanks<\/strong> with a capacity of 23,000\u201360,000 litres, a stationary CO2<\/sub> gas warning system from MSR-Electronic<\/a> was installed in the Hannes Reeh winery. When CO2 leaks occur, quick help and reliable gas warning devices are required to protect people and equipment.<\/p>\n

Hazardous carbon dioxide can be lethal<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) dissolves in liquids<\/strong>, also in wine, in dependence of pressure and temperature.\u00a0During the growth of the grapevine, the sugar in the grapes is formed out of CO2<\/sub> and water. During the fermentation process in the wine tanks, the sugar is then converted into CO2<\/sub> and alcohol.<\/p>\n

However, the CO2<\/sub> concentrations in the headspace of a fermentation tank can reach very high and dangerous levels<\/strong>. With 1.98 g\/l, CO2<\/sub> is around 1.5 times heavier than air. Possible dangers are the displacement of oxygen<\/strong> (O2<\/sub>) and thus the danger of suffocation<\/strong> for winegrowers as well as the risk of being exposed to high CO2<\/sub> concentrations over a longer period. The installation of a gas warning system for detect CO2 leaks is therefore essential for health.<\/p>\n

An increased concentration of CO2<\/sub> in the ambient air can cause headaches and ultimately cause unconsciousness. A concentration of eight percent<\/strong> or more can lead to death after 30 to 60 minutes.<\/p>\n
