What is wing tear testing (Winkelmann/Graves method)?
Wing tear testing is a tensile-based method for flexible materials, in which a wing-shaped specimen is subjected to a controlled force until it tears.

Wines & Spirits
Wine incites passion and has stirred the emotions for centuries. It demands attention. But it’s not just the wine itself which get us talking, it’s how it is packaged too; bottles and corks, bag-in-box containers, aseptic cartons and cans.

Fundamentals of Texture Testing Analysis
The primary goal for using instrumentation to measure texture is to capture an objective value to something that is typically evaluated very subjectively. Texture cannot be controlled unless it measured in a consistent and repeatable manner.
