Deacidification of Wine Using Wine Yeast and Bacteria Starter Cultures Mitteilungen Klosterneuburg 53 (2003): 113-122 Deacidification of wine using wine yeast and bacteria starter cultures SUSANNE BERGER, KAROLINE PISCHINGER und SILVIA WENDELIN HoÈ here Bundeslehranstalt und Bundesamt fuÈ r Wein- und Obstbau A-3400 Klosterneuburg, Wienerstraûe 74 e-mail: [email protected] Present investigations deal with the malic acid reducing capacity of selected wine yeast strains of the species Saccha- romyces cerevisiae and bacteria starter cultures of the species Oenococcus oeni. Deacidification capacity and in- fluence of bacteria present in seven of ten commercial dry yeast strains compared to pure culture of yeast strains were evaluated on the basis of 'Rheinriesling' must fermentations. Analysis of malic acid reduction in must and wine showed basically yeast borne activity which was shown to be amplified in musts with pH-value 3.1 and 3.4 re- spectively. Some of the investigated dry yeast preparations were found to contain low amounts of bacteria cultivable on appropriate media. Results concerning the malic acid degradation velocity in red wines did not correlate with the amount of bacteria cell number in dry yeast preparations. Mash from grapes of the 'Blauer Portugieser' cultivar was fermented with two commercial dry yeast preparations. Malolactic fermentation variants were induced using three different bacteria starter cultures, simultaneously to a spontaneous fermentation variant. At 16 8C malolactic fer- mentation finished successfully several days later compared to variants at 21 8C. Both yeast and bacteria reduced monomeric anthocyanins in red wines. After four months of storage on fine lees, the influence of microorganisms on phenols and biological stability was evaluated. Bacteria developed during spontaneous malolactic fermentation showed highest viability using temperatures of 21 8C and 16 8C compared to Oenococcus oeni starter culture. Du- ring wine storage on fine lees, the amino acid tyrosine increased to the highest amount compared to arginine and ly- sine. Amounts of caffeic acid, a precursor for volatile phenols, cannot be related to yeast or bacteria strain influence. Keywords: Wine, deacidification, yeasts, malolactic fermentation, starter cultures, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Oeno- coccus oeni Abbau der AÈ pfelsaÈure mit Weinhefen und Bakterien-Starterkulturen. Die aÈpfelsaÈureabbauende KapazitaÈt von se- lektionierten StaÈmmen der Art Saccharomyces cerevisiae und von Bakterien der Art Oenococcus oeni sind Gegen- stand vorliegender Untersuchungen in Weinen der Sorte 'Rheinriesling' und 'Blauer Portugieser'. Die Analysen be- staÈtigten, dass der AÈ pfelsaÈureabbau teilweise auf die metabolische AktivitaÈt der untersuchten Hefen zuruÈ ckzufuÈh- ren ist. Diese AktivitaÈt trat in Mosten mit einem pH-Wert von 3.4 im Vergleich zu Mosten mit einem pH-Wert von 3.1 verstaÈrkt auf. In sieben von zehn TrockenhefepraÈparaten wurden Bakterien nachgewiesen. Die Kinetik des biologischen SaÈureabbaus im Rotwein der Sorte 'Blauer Portugieser' korrelierte nicht mit der HoÈhe der nachge- wiesenen Bakterienzellzahlen. Trauben der Sorte 'Blauer Portugieser' wurden mit zwei kommerziellen HefestaÈm- men vergoren. Der anschlieûend durchgefuÈ hrte biologische SaÈureabbau mit drei Bakterien-Starterkulturen im Ver- gleich zu spontanem biologischen SaÈureabbau verlief in allen Varianten erfolgreich, war jedoch bei 16 8C um einige Tage verzoÈgert im Vergleich zu 21 8C. Hefen und Bakterien reduzierten die monomeren Anthocyane in den Rot- weinen in unterschiedlichem Ausmaû. Nach einer Lagerung von vier Monaten auf der Feinhefe wurde der Einfluss der Mikroflora auf die biologische StabilitaÈt und auf die Phenole evaluiert. Die Bakterien-Spontanflora wies im Vergleich zu Oenococcus oeni Starterkulturen die hoÈchste Lebendzellzahl auf. Der Gehalt der AminosaÈure Tyrosin stieg am staÈrksten an. Auch die Konzentration an Arginin und Lysin nahm zu. KaffeesaÈure kann auf Grund mikro- biologischen Einflusses in fluÈ chtige Phenole umgewandelt werden. Saccharomyces cerevisiae oder Oenococcus oeni hatten keinen Einfluss auf Zu- oder Abnahme des KaffeesaÈuregehaltes in den Weinen.

    1. Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety Austrian Wine statistics report 1.2 Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety 2 The data in this section is based on the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, as well as feedback from the wine-producing federal states of Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), Burgenland, Steiermark (Styria) and Wien (Vienna). The main source of data for the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine was the Wein-ONLINE system operated by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMNT). Data from the remaining federal states was collected by means of a questionnaire (primary data collection). Information relating to the (approved) nurseries was provided by the Burgenland and Lower Austrian Chambers of Agriculture and the Styrian state government (Agricultural Research Centre). According to the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, Austria’s vineyards occupied 45,574 hectares. The planted vineyard area was 45,439 ha, which corresponds to 94 ha less (or a 0.2% decrease) in comparison to the 2009 Survey of Area under Vine. The long-running trend that suggested a shift away from white wine and towards red was quashed by the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine. While the white wine vineyard area increased by 2.3% to 30,502 ha compared to 2009, the red wine area decreased by 4.9% to 14,937 ha. Figure 1 shows the evolution of Austrian viticulture after the Second World War. The largest area under vine was recorded in 1980 at 59,432 ha. From 1980 onwards, the white wine vineyard area has continuously decreased, while the red wine vineyard area has expanded.

The regulations are particularly severe for wine and include various aspects of the viticulture practices and winemaking techniques. Nevertheless, the use of phenolic profiles for quality control is still fragmented and incomplete, even if they are a promising tool for quality evaluation. Only a few methods have been already validated and widely applied, and an integrated approach is in fact still missing because of the complex dependence of the chemical profile of wine on many viticultural and enological factors, which have not been clarified yet. For example, there is a lack of studies about the phenolic composition in relation to the wine authenticity of white and especially rosé wines. This review is a bibliographic account on the approaches based on phenolic species that have been developed for the evaluation of wine quality and frauds, from the grape varieties (of V.

  • Austrian Wine Report
    ANNEX 5 REPORT: PRODUCTION AND CONTROL OF WINE IN AUSTRIA Lehr- und Forschungszentrum für Wein- und Obstbau (Education and Research Institute for Viticulture and Pomology) A-3400 Klosterneuburg Wiener Strasse 74 written by HR Dr. Reinhard EDER [email protected] Klosterneuburg, September 2010 Wine country Austria Austria is a small wine country with around 50.000 hectares (ha) of viticulture, which account for around 1 % of vineyards in Europe (5.5 million hectare) respectively 0.7 % of the vineyard area of the world (7.4 million ha). From these vineyards around 250 million litre of wine are produced annually, which correspond to around 1.3 % of wine production in Europe and around 1 % of the world wide production of wine. Interestingly the consumption of wine in Austria is equal to the production of wine, nevertheless around 80 million litre of mainly red wine are imported and around 80 million litres, mainly white wine, are exported. The biggest wine importing countries are Italy (around 60 %), Spain (around 15 %), new world countries (Australia, Chile ... around 10 %), France (around 5 %) and others. The most important export markets are Germany (around 50 %), Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden ... around 10 %), USA (around 10 %), eastern European countries (Russia, Czech Republic ... around 10 %) and others like Japan, Great Britain and Switzerland. The wine consumption per head is quite stable over the years and lays around 30 litre per year. Contrary to the amount the place of wine consumption has changed within the last years strongly with an increase of consumption at home (around 45 %) at the expense of outdoor consumption in restaurants, festivals, markets and so on (around 50 %).
