Mercaptans and Other Volatile Sulfur Compounds in Wine
Mercaptans and other volatile sulfur compounds in wine © Jamie Goode 2006 www.wineanorak.com An article on volatile sulfur compounds in wine isn’t likely to turn many heads. In truth, it’s the sort of topic that gets filed away as ‘worthy but dull’, and only ever gets read by people who are swotting up for their diploma or MW, and then gets promptly forgotten. Aware of this, I’m willing to strike a deal with my readers. If I try my best to cover this otherwise fiercely dull and technical wine science piece in a manner that is both readable and doesn’t require any specialist science knowledge, will you try to venture below the first paragraph? Volatile sulfur compounds, and specifically mercaptans, are a hot topic in wine at the moment, so it’s worth learning a bit about them. These are the compounds largely responsible for the olfactory defect known as ‘reduction’. And there’s a lot of ignorance and misinformation appearing about them, even in print. My aim in this piece is to present a step-by-step guide to these molecules in wine, bringing in some of the latest research and providing an accessible introduction to the subject without skimping on the meaty bits. There are around 100 volatile sulfur compounds that have been identified in wine, but only a few are significant enough to be included in our story here. What do you need to know about them? First and foremost, they are smelly. Thus even at low concentrations they can have a sensory impact on the wine. -

A to Z Glossary of Wine Terms
A to Z Glossary of Wine Terms A ABV (Alcohol by Volume) - A measure of the alcohol concentration of a wine, usually expressed as a percentage. Acidic - A tart, sour, or fresh feeling in the mouth when you taste the wine. Aeration - Adding oxygen to the wine to soften tannins. Aggressive – Wine tasting term describing a wine that is either too tannic, too acidic, or a combina- tion of both. Alcohol - Ethanol; in wine it is produced via fermentation with yeast and sugar. Alcoholic – Wine tasting term indicating high alcohol. A wine with a noticeably high alcohol con- tent; perceived as a hotness in the wine. Angular – Wine tasting term used to describe young wines that display predominately sharp, bitter, or tart flavor characteristics. AOC (Appellation d’origine contrôlée) - A term in the French wine designation system which means “controlled designation of origin.” It identifies the location or region where a wine is made. Appearance - In general, the term appearance is used to describe the clarity of a wine. Appellation - A designated wine growing area governed by specific rules regarding the wine grapes grown and wine produced in the specific appellation areas. Aroma - A wine’s scent characteristics; very closely tied in with the flavors. Aromatic - Varieties of grapes that have especially noticeable aromas. Some aromatic grapes in- clude Viognier, Torrontés, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Muscat, and Pinot Gris. Aromatized – A wine that is infused with botanicals. Vermouth is an aromatized wine.

The three new grapes-'Noiret'™, 'Corot noir'™ and 'Valvin Muscat'™-were developed and tested by Bruce Reisch, grape breeder and professor of horticultural sciences at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, N.Y., in cooperation with Thomas Henick-Kling, professor of enology at the Experiment Station and leader of Cornell's enology program. "All three grapes are broadly adapted to the wine growing regions in the East, and produce high quality varietal wines that are superior to those currently available to Eastern growers today," said Reisch. 'Corot noir'™, a mid- to late-season red wine 'Noiret'™ (pronounced "nwahr-ay"), a mid-season red wine grape, is a complex grape, is a complex interspecific hybrid resulting interspecific hybrid resulting from a cross made in 1973 between NY65.0467.08 and from a cross made in 1970 between Seyve Villard 'Steuben'. 18-307 and 'Steuben'. "'Noiret'™ represents a distinct improvement in the red wine varietal options available Credit: Bruce Reisch - NYSAES, Cornell University to cold-climate grape growers," said Reisch. -
The Determination of Oxidation Behavior of White Wines Produced from Local and European Grape Varieties Using Spectrophotometric Method
Journal of Engineering Science Vol. XXV, no. 4 (2018), pp. 82 - 93 Fascicle Food engineering ISSN 2587-3474 Topic Biotechnologies, Food Chemistry and Food Safety eISSN 2587-3482 DOI:10.5281/zenodo.2576746 CZU 663.221:634.85(4) THE DETERMINATION OF OXIDATION BEHAVIOR OF WHITE WINES PRODUCED FROM LOCAL AND EUROPEAN GRAPE VARIETIES USING SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD Iurie Scutaru*, Anatol Balanuta, Dan Zgardan Technical University of Moldova, Department of Oenology, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova *Corresponding author: Iurie Scutaru, [email protected] Received: November, 2, 2018 Accepted: December, 18, 2018 Abstract: The article deals with the oxidation processes of experimental wines produced from indigenous grape varieties Legenda, Viorica and European grapes Chardonnay, Sauvignon. The browning processes in wine are corelated with oxidation of hydroxycinnamates (hydroxycinnamic acids and their tartaric esters, HCAs) ‒ the most important group of phenolic compounds in white wines. The potential degree of wine colour changes has been appreciated using Polyphenols Oxidative Medium test (POM-test). The oxidative crocin bleaching (CBA – Crocin Bleaching Assay) has been studied using the method of competition kinetics. The comparative antioxidant capacity of wines has been determined with peroxy radicals 2,2'-Azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH). Key words: antioxidant capacity, crocin oxidative bleaching, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamates, phenolic compounds, POM-test, wine oxidation. Introduction The biggest part of Moldovan wines are produced from European grape varieties, that are adapted to local growing conditions. These grape varieties are: Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot etc. At the same time, recently, in Republic of Moldova, much attention has been given to the goal of using the potential of old local grape varieties (Feteasca Alba, Feteasca Regala, Feteasca Neagra, Rara Neagra) and new grape varieties (Viorica, Legenda, Riton). -

Matching Grape Varieties to Sites Are Hybrid Varieties Right for Oklahoma?
Matching Grape Varieties to Sites Are hybrid varieties right for Oklahoma? Bruce Bordelon Purdue University Wine Grape Team 2014 Oklahoma Grape Growers Workshop 2006 survey of grape varieties in Oklahoma: Vinifera 80%. Hybrids 15% American 7% Muscadines 1% Profiles and Challenges…continued… • V. vinifera cultivars are the most widely grown in Oklahoma…; however, observation and research has shown most European cultivars to be highly susceptible to cold damage. • More research needs to be conducted to elicit where European cultivars will do best in Oklahoma. • French-American hybrids are good alternatives due to their better cold tolerance, but have not been embraced by Oklahoma grape growers... Reasons for this bias likely include hybrid cultivars being perceived as lower quality than European cultivars, lack of knowledge of available hybrid cultivars, personal preference, and misinformation. Profiles and Challenges…continued… • The unpredictable continental climate of Oklahoma is one of the foremost obstacles for potential grape growers. • It is essential that appropriate site selection be done prior to planting. • Many locations in Oklahoma are unsuitable for most grapes, including hybrids and American grapes. • Growing grapes in Oklahoma is a risky endeavor and minimization of potential loss by consideration of cultivar and environmental interactions is paramount to ensure long-term success. • There are areas where some European cultivars may succeed. • Many hybrid and American grapes are better suited for most areas of Oklahoma than -
Les Differents Roles De L'oxygene
DELTEIL, THE DIVERSE FUNCTIONS OF OXYGEN, 1 THE DIVERSE FUNCTIONS OF OXYGEN – FIRST PART Dominique DELTEIL. Scientific Director, ICV1 ¾ To stabilize and develop the taste and aroma of ripe berries. ¾ To control a complete and smooth alcoholic fermentation. ¾ To limit the occurrence of sulphur aromas (odours of garlic, onion, rubber, tin can, etc.) These are three key objectives of a well devised and properly realized Mediterranean vinification. Oxygen plays a direct role in each one of these objectives. Sometimes positively, and sometimes negatively. Some practical facts in order to prevent certain winemaking mistakes: ¾ Oxygen is soluble in must and wine. It is always present in the air, which surrounds the tanks, the pipes, the connections between pipes, the presses. Oxygen is always more concentrated in the air than in must and tank filled wines: Therefore, it will always tend to dissolve therein. This is also true for a carbon dioxide saturated must during vigorous alcoholic fermentation. This dissolution is extremely fast: the must in the receiving trays of a pneumatic press is already completely saturated with oxygen. Oxygen always abounds in winery air, even when the latter is enriched witch carbon dioxide. ¾ An air or oxygen bubble, which bursts on the surface of must or wine means gas, which escapes from the liquid: this bubble has transferred little or no oxygen to the liquid. The colder musts and wines are, the more oxygen they can dissolve: up to approximately 10 mg/l. ¾ When must and wine are in movement and in thin layers, the oxygen dissolution is faster. It is a voluntary Venturi effect when a stainless steel coupler with a frit is used or when the pipe couplers are slightly loosened. -

Carbohydrates Adapted from Pellar
Carbohydrates Adapted from Pellar OBJECTIVE: To learn about carbohydrates and their reactivities BACKGROUND: Carbohydrates are a major food source, with most dietary guidelines recommending that 45-65% of daily calories come from carbohydrates. Rice, potatoes, bread, pasta and candy are all high in carbohydrates, specifically starches and sugars. These compounds are just a few examples of carbohydrates. Other carbohydrates include fibers such as cellulose and pectins. In addition to serving as the primary source of energy for the body, sugars play a number of other key roles in biological processes, such as forming part of the backbone of DNA structure, affecting cell-to-cell communication, nerve and brain cell function, and some disease pathways. Carbohydrates are defined as polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones, or compounds that break down into these substances. They can be categorized according to the number of carbons in the structure and whether a ketone or an aldehyde group is present. Glucose, for example, is an aldohexose because it contains six carbons and an aldehyde functional group. Similarly, fructose would be classified as a ketohexose. glucose fructose A more general classification scheme exists where carbohydrates are broken down into the groups monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are often referred to as simple sugars. These compounds cannot be broken down into smaller sugars by acid hydrolysis. Glucose, fructose and ribose are examples of monosaccharides. Monosaccharides exist mostly as cyclic structures containing hemiacetal or hemiketal groups. These structures in solution are in equilibrium with the corresponding open-chain structures bearing aldehyde or ketone functional groups. The chemical linkage of two monosaccharides forms disaccharides. -
