Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining product-specific quality parameters of liquid, especially liquid (14) containing alcohol and held in a container (12) such as a bottle or can, the quality parameters being determined by means of sensors (22, 24, 26). To enable performing measurements with simply provisions and without complicated specimen preparation, and avoiding cross-sensitivities, it is proposed that the quality parameters of the liquid are determined under the conditions prevailing in the container, and liquid is initially delivered, under the pressure prevailing in the container, to a temperature unit (32) and adjusted to a temperature that corresponds to that of the sensors, and is then delivered to the sensors.
