  • Post-Fermentation Clarification: Wine Fining Process
    Post-Fermentation Clarification: Wine Fining Process A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillments of the requirements for the Chemical Engineering Bachelor of Science Degree Sponsored by: Zoll Cellars 110 Old Mill Rd. Shrewsbury, MA Submitted by: Allison Corriveau _______________________________________ Lindsey Wilson _______________________________________ Date: April 30, 2015 _______________________________________ Professor Stephen J. Kmiotek This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project-learning.html Abstract The sponsor, Zoll Cellars, is seeking to improve their current post-fermentation process. Fining is a post-fermentation process used to clarify wine. This paper discusses several commonly used fining agents including: Bentonite, Chitosan and Kieselsol, and gelatin and Kieselsol. The following tests were conducted to compare the fining agents: visual clarity, mass change due to racking, pH, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Bentonite was an F. Chitosan and Kieselsol were also successful with a wait time before racking of at least 24 hours. Gelatin and Kieselsol are not recommended for use at Zoll Cellars because gelatin easily over stripped the wine of important flavor compounds. i Acknowledgements We would like to thank our advisor, Professor Stephen J. Kmiotek, for his essential guidance and support. This project would not have been a success without you. We really appreciated how readily available you were to help us with any setbacks or problems that arose.

  • Old World, New World, Third World? Reconceptualising the Worlds of Wine
    Journal of Wine Research, 2010, Vol. 21, No. 1, pp. 57–75 Old World, New World, Third World? Reconceptualising the Worlds of Wine GLENN BANKS and JOHN OVERTON Original manuscript received, 08 April 2009 Revised manuscript received, 18 November 2009 ABSTRACT This paper argues that existing categories defining the geography of the world’s wine industry, principally the Old World/New World dichotomy, are flawed. Not only do they fail to represent adequately the complexity of production and marketing in those two broad regions but also, crucially, they do not acknowledge the significant and rapidly expanding production and consumption of wine in ‘Third World’ developing countries. Rather than argue for the addition of a ‘Third World’ category, we instead use the lens of recent work on globalisation to argue that such production requires us to re-examine the dichotomous Old/New distinction which structures much of the thinking around the global wine industry. It also requires us to more closely link changes in patterns of global wine consumption with developments in global production. Changing geographies of wine production have been driven, to a large extent, by the rapid expansion of both local wealthy elites and burgeoning middle classes in countries such as China and India. This has resulted in the development of local wineries, large and small, throughout the developing world. It has also seen new flows of investment both from established wine regions to these new sites of production and from companies and individuals in the developing world who have invested in established wine regions, whether in France or Australia.

  • MAKING WINE in a CHANGING CLIMATE in Which a Given Crop Can Be Grown, to Influencing Annual Yields and the Quality of the Crop
    Gregory Jones limate is a pervasive factor in near- ly all forms of agriculture — from C determining the geographical area MAKING WINE IN A CHANGING CLIMATE in which a given crop can be grown, to influencing annual yields and the quality of the crop. With such strong ties to agri- culture, climate also influences cultural issues, such as economics, regional identi- ties, and migration and settlement. These connections are never more evident than with the growing of grapes and the pro- duction of wine. A BRIEF HISTORY OF WINEMAKING The grapevine is one of the oldest cultivat- ed plants that, along with the process of making wine, has resulted in a rich geo- graphical and cultural history. The cultiva- tion of grapevines (viticulture) predates written history. Archaeological findings in the Caucasian Mountains, near the town of Shiraz in ancient Persia, indicate that viti- culture existed as far back as 3500 B.C. Vitis vinifera (the "wine-grape bearing" vine and one of about 60 species of the Vitis genus that is principally used for winemaking) was first domesticated in this region and soon spread to Assyria, Babylon and the Climatologist Gregory Jones uses GPS to fix shores of the Black Sea. The Assyrians the coordinates of a vineyard for further brought the art and knowledge of wine- analysis. Research is showing a correlation making to Palestine and Egypt, and from between changes in climate and wine grape there, the Phoenicians carried the vine and quality. its secrets around the Mediterranean and east toward Morocco and Portugal.

    Aldiploma Module Seven New World Wines & Upcoming Classics Module 7 New World Wines & Upcoming Classics New World Classics and Up & Coming Classics The previous six modules of the Aldiploma provided all the groundwork you need to make shopping for your wines easier and more enjoyable than ever. We covered off the basics of different wine types and styles, grape varieties, white and red winemaking, classic wines and also other types of wine. Now that you know what is in your glass and why you like it, we’re going to explore New World wines. We’re also going to take a little look at some up-and-coming wine regions – those less well-known areas that are producing some outstanding wines at incredible value, if you just step off the beaten track… New World Wines The classic winegrowing regions of Europe and the Middle East are often referred to as the ‘Old world’. Essentially anything grown outside of this area is referred to in the wine world as the ‘New world’. New World wines include (but are not limited to) wines from the USA, as well as a lot of countries in the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Chile. When they first appeared on the international wine scene, these wines were a breath of fresh air. Firstly, the often sunny, warm climates meant the wines were soft, round, approachable and easy-to-drink but secondly, the labels were easier to understand. These new winemakers chose to label their wines by variety, meaning the grape variety is stated quite clearly on the label whereas for the majority of classic ‘Old World’ wines, they are labelled by region.

  • Wine Is the Fermented Juice of Grapes Sugar + Yeast = Alcohol + Carbon
    Wine Basics What is wine? Wine is the fermented juice of grapes Sugar + Yeast = Alcohol + Carbon Dioxide (CO²) The sugar is in the grape juice and the yeast is present on the grape skins and in the air Fermentation ends when the alcohol reaches around 15% Three major types of wine • Table wine: 8-15% alcohol • Sparkling wine: 8-12% alcohol + CO² • Fortified wine: 17-22% alcohol (All wine fits into at least on of these categories) (Table wine is all that concerns us today) New World vs. Old World New World wine regions (California, Australia, Chile) usually list the grape variety on the label Old World wine regions (France, Italy, Spain) list the region, village or vineyard where the wine is made, but usually not the grape What's a vintage? As grapes ripen, their acidity decreases while their sugar increases Grapes are picked when they reach the sugar/acid ratio for the style of wine they’re to produce The “Vintage” is the year that the grapes were harvested In the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are reversed Northern Hemisphere harvest is between August-November Southern Hemisphere harvest as early as January-March The Winemaking process Freshly picked grapes are sorted De-stemmed and crushed Placed into a vat with (red) or without skins (white) Fermentation occurs (4- 20 days) Pressed Barreled and aged Filtered and bottled What kind of grapes make wine? The major wine grapes come from the species Vitis vinifera Both old world (Europe) and new world (America) wine producers use Vitis vinifera The Native American grape species (Vitis labrusca) is still grown in the U.S.
