Phenolic matrix effect on aroma formation of terpenes during simulated wine fermentation – Part I: Phenolic acids
There are more than 1000 volatile components in wine, contributing to aroma. And it has been proved that non-volatile substances of wine, such as polyphenols, polysaccharides and proteins have large influence on the release and perception of aroma compounds, which is called matrix effect.

The pigments responsible for a wine’s colour also change its flavour 12 March 2021 11:15 |

The pigments responsible for a wine’s colour also change its flavour
Anthocyanins not only give wine its colour, they also change its flavour. That is according to Maria Alessandra Paissoni, from the University of Turin, speaking at the latest Enoforum session on winemaking.
As part of her PhD, the Italian researcher began by extracting all the anthocyanins from a Barbera and a Nebbiolo vinted in 2015. “Then I divided them into three groups according to their level of acetylation, glucoside, acetyl-glucoside, or coumaroyl-glucoside” she explained. She then put each fraction in the presence of salivary proteins. “The higher the acetylation level, the more the anthocyanins precipitated them”, she said. Paissoni organised sensory analysis sessions with trained students from the Bordeaux Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences.

A Good Nose: Can Dogs Detect Wine-Tainting Molecules?
International vintners depend on dogs to find wine-tainting molecules
Alejandro Fantoni Sr. was waiting in an airport security line when one of the detection dogs caught his attention. Fantoni struck up a conversation with the handler.
“[My dad] started talking with the trainer of the dog, asking, ‘Can you train dogs to detect any kind of aroma or different scents at a very low concentration?’ and the guy said yes, it was possible,” says Alejandro Fantoni Jr.
Based on the conversation, the elder Fantoni decided to start a first-of-its-kind dog detection program at TN Coopers, a Chile-based cooperage that makes handcrafted wooden barrels for international winemakers.

Handling wine pomace: The importance of drying to preserve phenolic profile and antioxidant capacity for product valorization 04 August 2021 21:02 |

Handling wine pomace: The importance of drying to preserve phenolic profile and antioxidant capacity for product valorization
The wine industry and valorization of wine pomace
Like other industries, winemaking produces waste. Wine pomace (WP), composed of stems, seeds and skins of grapes, is the main solid organic by-product and it represents approximately 25% of total grape weight used in the winemaking process 1. WP is commonly valorized for the production of distilled spirits (e.g. Grappa), tartaric acid, and animal feed 2,3. Still, the most common practice is to use it for composting and agriculture spreading, which comes with environmental drawbacks. WP is rich in phenolic compounds, which are slightly acidic molecules but in high volumes and concentrations they lower the pH of the soil and increase oxygen demand in ecosystems 1,2. Phenols are also known for their antioxidant capacity and are associated with the prevention of certain chronic diseases 4,5. As such, there is an economic opportunity for valorization in the fields of health and nutraceuticals as the consumers’ demand for bio-sourced products is on the rise.

FARMING WINEGRAPES FOR AROMA, FLAVOR, & COLORS
For many wine drinkers, the most important characteristic of a wine is its flavor. While sugar (sweetness and alcohol strength), acidity (tartness), and color related compounds (astringency and bitterness) in grapes contribute to wine flavor, the taste characteristics most unique to a specific wine are usually associated with distinct aromas. We humans can sense and distinguish minute amounts of the volatile compounds contributing to the bouquet of a wine.

WHY WINE MOVES US
I’ve always been very aware of the number of variables attached to any wine by the time it reaches the bottle. Sunshine hours, aspect, viticultural intervention, water supply, the natural variation attached to an individual fleck of soil, yeast choice, atmospheric composition of the cellar, warehouse, vineyard, etc. As I start to make my list of variables, hundreds more flood to my mind. Yeast, fermenter temperature, fermenter shape, the role mother nature plays in the seasoning of a stave, cork, and well…maybe the winemaker’s mood is somehow even reflected in the task at hand on any given day.

The Colours Of Infinity
It’s your turn to say something insightful. Quietness implies thoughtfulness, but silence just seems like disinterest. So, you think, it tastes…apple-y. Not Russet apples, nor Coxes, nor Golden Delicious. More like every apple and no apple, stewed and fresh and dried and baked all at once, dissolving into other flavours at fluid boundaries…but, “mm, appley” is just too banal to blurt out at a Fine Wine dinner, isn’t it? It would be like staring at Miró and saying,”nice shapes!”. The tasting notes you hurriedly google on your trip to the bathroom rattle off lists of descriptors such as “wafts of black cardamom and beaten copper”, and the oeno-bingo-lingo greatest hits – minerality, salinity, energy – have all been wheeled out already. No matter which primitive linguistic spears you throw at the glass, they just bounce off, falling to the ground with a dull thud.

How do you assess how an appellation is doing in its pursuit of higher wine quality? For an individual wine we can use critics’ scores. For an appellation, an AVA, or a state, or some other geographic entity this approach excludes most states in the United States, as major critics confine their attention to California, Oregon, and Washington, with maybe an occasional mention of others.

There’s ripeness … and then there’s ripeness
Inspired by a recent trip to California, Benjamin Lewin MW explores the ways in which winemakers assess ripeness, and the competing ideas of what constitutes a truly ripe grape.
Ripeness is a moving target. First, it was simply sugar levels; once grapes reached somewhere around 22 Brix (12% potential alcohol), it was time to harvest. This did not work so badly in cool conditions, because by the time the grapes reached 22 Brix, they were ripe (or at least, as ripe as they were going to get). In the present warmer conditions produced by climate change, this does not work so well; sugar accumulates more quickly, and it’s common enough to exceed the old limits for Brix well before the grapes are ripe. Enter the new criterion of phenolic ripeness.

Scientist who unlocked secrets behind wine tasting and flavour hangs up coat
I first met Wendy Parr when she and her husband, ecologist Philip Simpson, had a tiny, very special one hectare vineyard on their piece of paradise high on the limestone hills above Port Tarakohe in Golden Bay.
The last commercial production of Parr & Simpson wines was in 2015. Wendy and Philip had developed international reputations for their research work and they simply didn’t have enough time to make wine too.
Now Wendy has decided it’s time to hang up her wine research coat too.
Philip is a highly respected botanist and has had a number of books published. He is considered the authority on our native cabbage tree, while Wendy, who has a PhD in psychology, was working in the areas of memory and decision making, and becoming more and more interested in wine and wine tasting.
She was intrigued by “what kind of memories do these people have to be able to taste a wine and say Chateau such and such from 1964 or something similar” and started thinking about the tasting process from a scientific point of view.

A new (or is it old?) definition of wine balance 15 April 2022 19:45 |
Beheerder Registratiedatum: 7 jaren geleden Berichten: 8.452 |
A new (or is it old?) definition of wine balance
A wine can be described as "balanced" when all its sensory qualities are in harmony, without excess of one element or another. That is to say: Acidity is balanced when a wine is neither too puckery nor so soft that it lacks freshness or crispness. Tannin is balanced when the wine is not unpleasantly bitter or astringent. Body is in balance when alcohol does not taste harsh or hot. Aromatic qualities — such as oak, herbiness or fruitiness — are all subjective to a beholder's ability to perceive them, which depends upon the volume of a person's "taste memory," as the late Michael Broadbent MW famously put it.

A wine can be described as "balanced" when all its sensory qualities are in harmony, without excess of one element or another. That is to say: Acidity is balanced when a wine is neither too puckery nor so soft that it lacks freshness or crispness. Tannin is balanced when the wine is not unpleasantly bitter or astringent. Body is in balance when alcohol does not taste harsh or hot. Aromatic qualities — such as oak, herbiness or fruitiness — are all subjective to a beholder's ability to perceive them, which depends upon the volume of a person's "taste memory," as the late Michael Broadbent MW famously put it.

Allen Balik, The Wine Exchange: Questioning the 100-point scale
I've long felt that evaluating wines on a 100-point scale is an illogical experiment of attaching a subjective and individual opinion to what appears as an objective numerical value. The logic espoused by the ardent supporters of the system has always been that it’s an easily understood consumer concept that directly relates to the manner in which our school tests were graded.
