SO2 SIMULATOR
Simulation of maximum loss of active SO2 when pieces of oak are added.

Assuming maximum drop in SO2 :
Simulation of free SO2 level after adding wood (mg/L) | 0 |
Simulation of molecular (active) SO2 level after adding wood (mg/L) | 0 |
Assuming average drop in SO2:
Simulation of free SO2 level after adding wood (mg/L) | 0 |
Simulation of molecular (active) SO2 level after adding wood (mg/L) | 0 |
NB :
This simulator only displays theoretical losses due to wood porosity.
In practice, many other factors are sources of oxygen and cause sulfates to oxidize into sulfites: racking, pumping, micro-/macro-oxygenation, etc.
Wine composition (polyphenols, lees), previous oxygen supplies, and ageing conditions (temperature and how it varies in the wine cellar) also influence how wine reacts with oxygen supplies.
