What do you have in there? That's pretty great!

Pretty cool bottle, that'll work great. I just go down to a 12oz beer bottle for my biggest little carboy.

Yea what' in it?

LMAO, you surly beat me for the smallest vessel ever.

I'm with Scott, smallest I've gone is 12 oz...

Looks like dragon blood.
That is a pretty cool bottle.

Smallest I use is a 187ml(like the ones that come in the Yellowtail, Barefoot, etc. 4pks.)

We have a MS student who will be vilifying a couple hundred 100 mL samples. Should be interesting.

"BAD 100 mL sample! You are a no-good, rotten, dirty sample! You are not even representative of the whole, you horrible little sample!"

I'd be worried about oxidation. That is a pretty high ratio of air to wine. Maybe use one or two marbles to top it off.

damn autocorrect

I figgered as much!

Wow, 20 L of wine spread out over 200 vials/bottles! That will indeed be an interesting experiment. How many things (parameters) are you testing?

Funny thing is I changed that from vilify to vinify three times and thought I had it set before I posted.

I don't know exactly how many samples she will have, but she is doing acid trials with cold-hardy hybrid grapes. I think she has 3 or 4 grape varieties, 3 different trellises, and will be testing 3 different yeasts for acid content pre and post alcohol fermentation and pre-post ML fermentation.

Oxidation will likely not be a worry because that should not significantly affect acid and these are not made for organoleptic analysis.
