The glasses used for sparkling wine must be thick to withstand the pressure of the gas behind the cork . .._f~ampagne is an example of this kind of wine., Fortified wine The alcoholic strength of the wine is increased with the addition of brandy either during or at the end of the fermentation. The alcoholic strength of the fortified wines range from i6 to 22 per cent abv. This type of wine is also termed as heavy wine. Examples.__ are sherry, port, Madeira, and Marsala. Aromatized wine These wines are fortified and aromatized with herbs, bark, spices, roots,~ The alcoholic content is 14-20 per cent abv. Vermouth is the most popular aromatized wine. Tonic wine This wine has health improvers added to it......_ GRAPES Sugar and yeasts are essential for fermentation to occur and the acids, pigments, and tannins are • necessary for a wine to have a good bouquet, taste, colour, body, and balance. All are avaitable naturally in each grape in varying proportions according to the grape variety, the type of soil in which the vines grow, and the climate. Constituents of Grapes The following are the constituents of grapes (see Figure 20.1) and each contributes to winemaking. • Stalk • Skin • Pulp • Pips Stalk Stalks hold grapes in a bunch. It weighs around 3-7 per cent of the total weight of the harvest depending on the type of vine. Stalk contains tannins, which are soluble in alcohol. Tannin contributes the following to the wine. • Astringency • Keeping quality • Helps in coagulation with fining agent containing protein that is_used during the clarification process Skin It is a natural cover to proiect the contents inside the grape. The s~n contains the pigments 'anthocyanes' and 'flavones' that give colour to the wine. The si9n is covered with a w~y sub:;tance called bloom which contains bacteria, moulds, . ~ arid miil~ons of wild and wine reasts including Saccharomyces ellipsodium in various fonns Stalk (tannin) which convert the grape sugar to alcohol. .Pulp It ~s a soft substance behind the .skin of the grapes which contains liquid, sugar (glucose and fructose), and acids, such as tartaric, malic, and citric acids. It amounts to Pips (ta:rnin, oils) Pulp (sugar, 80-85 per cent of the weight of the ~unch. acids, minerals) Skin (yeast, tannin, During the fennentation process, these acids pigments) interact with alcohol and produce 'esters' which provide bouquet to the wine. Other than these acids, the pulp also has other minerals Figure 20.1 .Constituents of Grapes which influence the taste and character of the wine. The water content of the pulp is about I 80 per cent and the sugar is between 10 and .25 per cent, and the rest is acids. This composition depends on the variety of the grapes and the climatic conditions. Pips These are the small seeds of grapes. These contain both tannins and oils. They give an unpleasantly bitter flavour to the wine and are discarded during winemaking. Main Grape Varieties There are hundreds of varieties of grapes grown and not all of them produce good quality wines. Following are the main grapes used in the production of wine and their characteristics. White grapes Principal whites The following white grapes (see Table 20.1) are the main ingredients for most of the white wines produced in the world. 1 /ardonnay This is a classic grape variety which comes originally from Burgundy, France. It is one of the types of grapes used in the production of champagne. It produces light, crisp, dry wine with a flavour of a lot of tropical fruits. Many Chardonnay wines are fermented and matured in oak casks. It is grown throughout the wine-producing regions of the world. It withstands all kinds of climatic conditions and prefers a soil ric-h in calcium. It is used in the USA, Australia, South Africc!, New Zealal)d, Toscana ih Italy. This grape is from Germany. Mose!, and Rhine wines of Germany are produced from this _ 2 /ling grape. It grows well in cool dimate but n-ot in hot climates and·can withst~nd any type of soil. Riesling grapes ripen early. They produce light citrus-flavoured dry wines and floral, sweet wines. The wines produced from these grapes can either be consumed-young or can _ be ageiwhen affected by botrytis (botrytis cinerea is a necrot~ophic fungus that affects many plant s.pecies, although its· most notable hosts may be wine grapes). It is matured in stainless steel to retain its delicate floral a~oma.

  • Colour Evolution of Rosé Wines After Bottling
    Colour Evolution of Rosé Wines after Bottling B. Hernández, C. Sáenz*, C. Alberdi, S. Alfonso and J.M. Diñeiro Departamento de Física, Universidad Pública de Navarra, Campus Arrosadía, 31006 Pamplona, Navarra (SPAIN) Submitted for publication: July 2010 Accepted for publication: September 2010 Key words: Colour appearance, wine colour, rosé wine, colour measurement, colour evolution This research reports on the colour evolution of six rosé wines during sixteen months of storage in the bottle. Colour changes were determined in terms of CIELAB colour parameters and in terms of the common colour categories used in visual assessment. The colour measurement method reproduces the visual assessment conditions during wine tasting with respect to wine sampler, illuminating source, observing background and sample-observer geometry. CIELAB L*, a*, b*, C* and hab colour coordinates were determined at seven different times (t = 0, 20, 80, 153, 217, 300 and 473 days). The time evolution of colour coordinate values was studied using models related to linear, quadratic and exponential rise to a maximum. Adjusted R2, average standard error and CIELAB ΔE* colour difference were used to compare models and evaluate their performance. For each colour coordinate, the accuracy of model predictions was similar to the standard deviation associated with a single measurement. An average ΔE* = 0.92 with a 90 percentile value ΔE*90% = 1.50 was obtained between measured and predicted colour. These values are smaller than human colour discrimination thresholds. The classification into colour categories at different times depends on the wine sample. It was found that all wines take three to four months to change from raspberry to strawberry colour and seven to eight months to reach the redcurrant category.

  • Temperature Is an Important Environmental Factor Affecting Growth and Mycotoxin Production by Molds
    Grapes, wine and other derivatives. OTA content. CHAPTER 6 GRAPES, WINE AND OTHER DERIVATIVES. OTA CONTENT 6.1. WORLD-WIDE PRODUCTION OF GRAPES, WINE AND OTHER GRAPE- DERIVATIVES Grape is the fruit of a vine in the family Vitaceae (Table 7). It is commonly used for making grape juice, wine, jelly, wine, grape seed oil and raisins (dried grapes), or can be eaten raw (table grapes). Table 7. Scientific classification of grapes. Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Vitales Family: Vitaceae Genus: Vitis Many species of grape exist including: • Vitis vinifera, the European winemaking grapes. • Vitis labrusca, the North American table and grape juice grapes, sometimes used for wine. • Vitis riparia, a wild grape of North America, sometimes used for winemaking. • Vitis rotundifolia, the muscadines, used for jelly and sometimes wine. • Vitis aestivalis, the variety Norton is used for winemaking. • Vitis lincecumii (also called Vitis aestivalis or Vitis lincecumii), Vitis berlandieri (also called Vitis cinerea var. helleri), Vitis cinerea, Vitis rupestris are used for making hybrid wine grapes and for pest-resistant rootstocks. 73 CHAPTER 6 . The main reason for the use of most V. vinifera varieties in wine production is their high sugar content, which after fermentation, produce a wine with an alcohol content of 10 % or slightly higher. Grape varieties of V. vinifera have a great variation of composition. Skin pigment colours vary from greenish yellow to russet, pink, red, reddish violet or blue-black. The colour of red wines comes from the skin, not the juice. The juice is normally colourless, though some varieties have a pink to red colour.

I give consent to this copy of my thesis being made available in the University Library. The author acknowledges that copyright of published works contained within this thesis (as listed below) resides with the copyright holders of those works. Liang Liu November 2006 I Summary The determination of wine authenticity and the detection of adulteration are attracting an increasing amount of attention for wine producers, researchers and consumers. Wine authentication and classification based on geographical origin has been widely studied. Most of these studies have achieved successful classification results. However, these studies have involved complicated and expensive procedures. Visible and near infrared spectroscopy (Vis-NIR) is recognized as a rapid and non-destructive technique. In recent years, several studies have been conducted using Vis-NIR spectroscopy to analyze wine for both quantitative and qualitative purposes. The aim of this research was to investigate the geographical classification of wines using Vis- NIR spectroscopy. The effect of temperature and measurement mode (transmission and transflectance) on Vis-NIR spectra was investigated to identify optimal conditions for wine sample analysis.

  • Classification of Wine Varieties Using Multivariate Analysis of Data Obtained by Gas Chromatography with Microcolumn Extraction
    Journal of Food and Nutrition Research Vol. 47, 2008, No. 1, pp. 37-44 Classification of wine varieties using multivariate analysis of data obtained by gas chromatography with microcolumn extraction DÁŠA KRUŽLICOVÁ – JÁN MOCÁK – JÁN HRIVŇÁK Summary Seventy-two wine samples of six varieties originating from the Small Carpathian region, Slovakia and produced in Western Slovakia in 2003 were quantitatively analysed by gas chromatography (GC) using headspace solid-phase micro- column extraction. Wine aroma compounds were extracted from the headspace into a microcolumn; the microcolumn was then transferred into a modified GC injection port for thermal desorption and the released compounds were analysed. This combination was simple, rapid and suitable for characterization of wine aroma compounds without the use of a complicated sample preparation procedure. Areas of chromatographic peaks of the same retention time corre- sponding to the selected 65 volatile aroma compounds were used for grouping of varietal wines. Wines were character- ized by a set of identified compounds with corresponding relative abundances. The relative standard deviation of 5 peak area measurements varied between 1.0% and 8.4%, the median of all observed relative standard deviation values was 2.4%. Using a new chemometrical approach, a complete chromatographic peak assignment was not necessary and only the peak pattern was utilized. The best classification performance exhibited linear discriminant analysis, the K-th near- est neighbour method and logistic regression, by which more than 95% correct classifications were obtained. Principal component analysis, cluster analysis and artificial neural networks provided complementary information. Keywords wine; volatile compounds; solid-phase microcolumn extraction; thermal desorption; headspace; capillary gas chroma- tography Gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of volatile In the recent time, several papers utilizing compounds present in wine is a very important tool various chemometrical tools were published [9-12].

Woods, and Sayed H. Saghaian Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky Abstract The price of wine reflects the various features that differentiate each bottle. This study is aimed at analyzing the determinants of Riesling wine prices, one of the most popular varieties in the white wine category. A hedonic price model is estimated using data collected between 2000 and 2015 from the Wine Spectator, with a total of 3078 individual wines, focusing on age, vintage, production, critical points, and variables related to the country of origin. The impact of geographic production of origin from Canada, Germany, France, Italy, New Zealand and South Africa is analyzed. An important aspect of this analysis is to investigate whether the country of origin of production is important, and if any price premium from a key import region like Germany is changing, holding quality and quantity constant.
