High temperatures may occur in containers when a platform for science bulk wine is shipped long distances. Elevated temperatures may adversely affect aroma and color of wines. We compared the record of environmental conditions during intercontinental bulk wine shipping with analysis of the aroma and sensory composition after transportation. Three bulk wine shipments, each including six containers filled with 24,000 L Chardonnay in flexitanks or ISO-tanks, were investigated. The intercontinental shipping route was scheduled for different seasons over one year. For reference, samples of the identical wine were dispatched via air freight express. The six containers were either placed at three different positions on the vessel or equipped with different isolation materials to find out how to optimize the shipping process. Wine temperatures reached 36°C in a worst-case scenario. Different positions on the vessel made an average difference of 7°C. Isolation could lower the maximum temperature by 10°C. Wine at the tank surface responded much faster to the outside air temperature, resulting in tempo- ORAL rary gradients of 12°C during dwell time periods in marine terminals with heavy ABSTRACTS sun radiation and no movement of the container. Temperature recordings were WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY segmented into 5°C steps and multiplied with exposure time. Time-temperature integrals were correlated with descriptive sensory and GC × GC data. PLS analysis revealed that pineapple, banana, and citrus flavor decreased significantly when wines were exposed to temperatures >25°C for >60 days, >30°C for >10 days, or >35°C for <1 day. A significant decrease in ethyl and acetate esters occurred even earlier under the same temperature conditions.

Un- derstanding this phenomenon is paramount because much of the North American winegrape crop is produced near forest fire-prone regions. To date there has been a lack of detailed characterization of the phenolic glycosides, with the majority putatively assigned in the absence of direct empirical evidence. However, phenolic glycosides constitute a “sensory potential” that can negatively impact the sensory profile of a wine following fermentation or after bottling. This hinders efforts to develop remedial and preventative strategies, precludes absolute quantitative assessment of the total pool of volatile phenolic compounds, and confounds any correlation between volatile phenolics and their potential impact on wines made Bold type indicates presenting

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • New Zealand Country Profile
    New Zealand Country Profile August 2019 A publication BACKGROUND The Polynesian Maori reached New Zealand sometime between A.D. 1250 and 1300. In 1840, their chieftains entered into a compact with Britain, the Treaty of Waitangi, in which they ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria while retaining territorial rights. That same year, the British began the first organized colonial settlement. A series of land wars between 1843 and 1872 ended with the defeat of the native peoples. The British colony of New Zealand became an independent dominion in 1907 and supported the UK militarily in both world wars. New Zealand's full participation in a number of defense alliances lapsed by the 1980s. In recent years, the government has sought to address longstanding Maori grievances. Geography: Consists of two main islands and a number of smaller islands southeast of Australia. South Island, the larger main island, is the 12th largest island in the world and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps. North Island is the 14th largest island in the world and is not as mountainous, but it is marked by volcanism. Almost 90% of the population lives in cities and over three-quarters on North Island. Wellington is the southernmost national capital in the world. Land area of 268,838 sq km. Economy and Infrastructure: Over the past 40 years, the government has transformed New Zealand from an agrarian economy, dependent on concessionary British market access, to a more industrialized, free market economy that can compete globally. Expanding New Zealand’s network of free trade agreements remains a top foreign policy priority.

  • Some Wine Tasting and Food Pairing Suggestions
    WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS Virtual Wine Tasting – 12th June 2020 New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc background notes and suggestions for food pairing with thanks to Patrick McHugh and Ann Chapman © June 2020 WCoMC Wine Club Page 1 A bit of background No history of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wines is complete without understanding the importance of Marlborough and the role of Montana Wines. Montana Wines remains New Zealand’s largest wine producer and is the brand under which the UK was introduced to New Zealand wine during the 1980s. The winery has been so significant throughout New Zealand’s wine history that the Montana name is still used on domestic labelling due to its strong brand recognition. Ivan Yukich (Jukić), a Croatian immigrant planted his first vines in 1934, in Titirangi, situated in the Waitākere Ranges west of Auckland. The first wine was sold in 1944; by 1960 ten hectares (25 acres) of vineyards were planted. Ivan's sons, Mate and Frank, had become involved and they set up the company Montana Wines in 1961. By the end of the 1960s, the company had expanded further, planting vines on land south of Auckland. In 1973, the company expanded into Gisborne and Marlborough and exported its first wines in 1980. Montana was listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, initially as ‘Corporate Investments Limited’, and then as Montana Wines. Marlborough is located in the northeast of the South Island. The climate has a strong contrast between hot sunny days and cool nights, which extends the ripening period of the vines. This results in more intense flavour and aroma characters in the wine.
