Alcoholic beverages like beers and spirits, are subject to numerous regulations and standards, especially when they are intended for export. To meet these requirements, breweries and distilleries must have their alcohols and spirits analysed by a professional accredited laboratory.
Having made it possible for the French National Union of Alcohol Distillers Groups (UNGDA) to continue its activity, the WESSLING Group, with its new alcohol laboratory, has the solid expertise, high-performance equipment and experienced staff needed to carry out your alcohol tests.

We provide analysis of alpha and beta thujones in our laboratory. We are one of the few laboratories authorised by the INAO to carry out such analysis.
Thujone is an active substance found in wormwood. It has two natural stereoisomeric forms, α- and β-thujone. It is this molecule that made absinthe famous, because it is said to have caused the side effects that led to the temporary ban on the beverage in the 20th century. In Europe, the total concentration of the two isomers in spirit drinks such as absinthe is regulated. It is limited to 35 mg/l.
WESSLING supports producers of absinthe and other spirit drinks by providing analysis of alpha and beta thujones in its alcohol laboratory near Paris.
Since March 2021, our laboratory has been authorised by the INAO (the National Institute of Origin and Quality) to carry out such analysis, which is prescribed by the specifications as part of official testing and certification in terms of quality and origin.
WESSLING has unique competence in the analysis of alcohol, from the raw material to the finished product.
