As New York wineries gain wider attention and praise, their products are sought nationally and even internationally. Importing countries may require a range of analytical tests before they will allow a wine to be and sold. The laboratory providing these tests must hold certain qualifications. As of January 2017, the Wine Analytical Lab, part of the Viticulture and Enology Program in the College of Agriculture and Life Science, has been approved through the TTB’s certified wine chemist program. 

The Wine Lab offers over 25 different chemical, microbiological, and sensory analyses for craft beverages at Cornell AgriTech in Geneva, N.Y., for quality assurance, trouble shooting and federal regulatory compliance.

The New York Wine & Grape Foundation offers a subsidy for New York bonded wineries testing grape-based products at the wine lab. Winery members save more based on their level of membership, as outlined in the table below.
