Wine and Health WINE AND HEALTH by Lisha de Villiers Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Cape Wine Masters Study leader: Mary-Louise Nash Date of submission 31 January 2020 1 STATEMENT Dissertation submitted to the Cape Wine Academy in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of Cape Wine Master. Signed: Dated: 31 January 2020 Lisha de Villiers 2 ABSTRACT The use of wine for medicinal purposes can be traced back to ancient times. Current research associates health benefits with moderate wine consumption. Certain wine constituents could, however, have a harmful effect on human health. This dissertation reviews the health benefits and risks associated with wine consumption. The primary objective was to identify the substances in wine that can either have a positive or a negative impact on health, where they originate from and the factors that influence their occurrence. A secondary objective was to determine whether it is possible for winemakers to produce healthier wines. Research suggests that the main components in wine that may contribute to health are alcohol, various phenolic compounds and melatonin. There is no consensus on how wine consumption could protect one against diseases or ailments and further research is needed. The main health risk associated with wine consumption is excessive alcohol intake. Excessive exposure to toxic compounds such as sulphur dioxide, heavy metals, biogenic amines, ethyl carbamate, ochratoxin A, phthalates and pesticide residue, are also concerns. These can be controlled during the winemaking process. Recently allergens have received attention, with mandatory labelling requirements being implemented in certain countries. A survey was done to gauge consumer awareness of health benefits and risks associated with wine consumption. Consumers appear to be aware of the fact that wine consumption benefits health. Detailed knowledge of the positive and negative constituents in wine is, however, lacking. A winemaker’s survey was sent to producers to determine what they understood regarding wine and health. Most agreed that winemaking techniques and viticulture practices play an important role in the healthiness of wine. 3 DECLARATION I, Lisha de Villiers, declare that this research report is my own, unaided work. It is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of the Cape Wine Masters at the Cape Wine Academy. It has not been submitted before for qualification of examination to this or any other educational organisation. 4 DEDICATION To my father Alan Nelson 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the following persons and institutions: GOD ALMIGHTY, for his guidance and strength.

CHAPTER 1: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 1.1 SCOPE & RESEARCH METHODOLOGY OF THE DISSERTATION The methodology was to conduct an in depth review of the available literature on both the negative as well as the positive effects of wine on health. Each and every known chemical compound of wine associated with health benefits and risk were separately identified and dealt with. The origin of each compound was examined as well as the factors that influence them. Having considered the above, attention was then given to what winemakers can do in order to produce healthier wines. Surveys were also done in an attempt to gauge consumer concerns about the health benefits and risks of wine and winemakers’ perspective on health benefits and risks of wine. The scope of the consumer survey was fairly expensive with over 600 respondents. More than 26 local winemakers were asked to respond. These included both male and female winemakers from large and small producers. All of the known producers of so-called ‘natural wines’ were approached. Unfortunately only 8 local winemakers responded. 11 2. CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION Mankind has consumed wine for pleasure for many millennia. Evidence of this dates back more than ten thousand years. Although the use of wine for medicinal purposes can be traced back to ancient times, scientists and researchers to this day, are still discovering new health benefits associated with moderate wine consumption (Fehér et al 2007). Grivetti (1996) states that wine contains energy and nutrients and are by any definition a food type, but it is two-faced. Wine has the unique attribute of being praised when consumed in moderation, but condemned when consumed in excess. This contrast has been expressed throughout history. The health benefits of wine seem to outperform that of most other types of alcoholic beverages. When the possible health effects of wine are considered a very important factor that should be taken into account is that not all wines are produced in the same way.

    1 Water and Ethanol 1.1 Introduction From a macroscopic perspective, wine is a mildly acidic hydroethanolic solution. As shown in Table 1.1, water and ethanol represent ~97% w/w of dry table wines. Ethanol is the major bioactive compound in wine and its presence renders wine and other alcoholic beverages inhospitable to microbial pathogens. Understanding the physiochemical properties of wine will first require a review of the basic properties of water and water–ethanol mixtures. More thorough discussions of the unique properties of water, including those specific to the food chemistry, can be found elsewhere [1]. 1.2 Chemical and physical properties of water Water is a hydride of oxygen, but has unique properties compared to other hydrides of elements nearby on the periodic table, as shown in Table 1.2. For example, the boiling point of water (100 °C) is far above that of hydrides of adjacent elements on the periodic table: HF (19.5 °C), H2S (–60 °C), and NH3 (–33 °C). Thus, water exists as a liquid at room temperature, while the other hydrides exist as gases. Similarly, water also has a higher heat of vaporization, heat capacity, and freezing point than would be expected as compared to nearby hydrides. The unique properties of water are largely due to its ability to engage in intermolecular hydrogen (H) bond- ing, which results in stronger molecule‐to‐molecule interactions than in related compounds. ●● Oxygen is more electronegativeCOPYRIGHTED than hydrogen and an O–H MATERIALbond is more polarized than N–H or S–H. ●● The geometry and symmetry of an H2O molecule allows for four concurrent H bonds per water molecule.

MIUR subjects: FIS/03, FIS/07, CHIM/01, CHIM/10 PACS: 82.20.Pm, 33.15.Ms, 31.15.Ar Abstract Wine is a complex mixture housing many aroma and flavor compounds giving it a unique texture and bouquet. These volatile organic compounds (VOCs), if present near the sensory threshold limits, may contribute positively to wine quality; however, excessive amounts can detract from quality, and are considered as a fault in wine. It is believed that nearly 10% of the world’s wine is affected from various types of faults. The most common and potent wine taint is 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (2,4,6-TCA), com- monly known as cork-taint molecule resulting from the cork stopper of wine bottles. 2,4,6- TCA produces intense ’musty’, ’mouldy’ ’earthy’ smelling in wine.

    Glossary of Terms Acceptable Daily Intake or Allowed Daily Intake (ADI) → Dose- Response Relationship/Curve Allergen The allergen is a material which triggers an allergic reaction. Allopathy The term allopathy was created by Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755– 1843) (from the Greek prefix άλλος, állos, “other”, “different” and the suffix πάϑος, páthos, “suffering”) in order to distinguish his technique (homeopathy) from the traditional medicine of his age. Today, allopathy means a medicine based on the principles of modern pharmacology. Anaphylactic shock Anaphylaxis (or an anaphylactic shock) is a whole-body, rapidly developing aller- gic reaction, which may lead to lethal respiratory and circulatory failure. Antibody Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to neutralize exogenous (external) substances. Chromatography, chromatogram Chromatography is the common name of different techniques used to separate mix- tures of compounds. HPLC stands for high-performance liquid chromatography. A chromatogram is the pattern of separated substances obtained by chromatography. Colloidal sol A colloidal sol is a suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Colloidal sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall effect (light scatter- ing by particles in a colloid). They can be quite stable. Examples include blood, pigmented ink, and paint.

How and why have descriptive and evaluative vocabularies changed over time? The essay shows that these vocabularies have shifted from the spare to the elaborate, from medical im- plications to aesthetic analyses, from a leading concern with “goodness” (authenticity, soundness) to interest in the analytic description of component flavors and odors. The causes of these changes are various: one involves the importance, and eventual disap- pearance, of a traditional physiological framework for appreciating the powers and qualities of different sorts of aliment, including wines; another concerns the develop- ment of chemical sciences concerned with flavor components; and still another flows from changing social and economic circumstances in which wine was consumed and the functions served by languages of connoisseurship.
