Electrochemical approaches in wine analysis 

Abstract

There is a high demand in the wine industry for analytical methods able to provide useful information to support the decision-making process in the vineyard and in the winery. Ideally these methods should be rapid (e.g. not requiring any sample preparation), cost-effective both in terms of required equipment and cost of analyses, and easy to implement. 

 

 

Electroanalytical methods have been successfully applied to the analysis of wine antioxidants, in particular phenolic compounds. However, until recently, their application was restricted to research laboratory settings, due to the complexity of the analytical set up and procedures. The recent advances in the development of portable equipment and screen-printed disposable sensors have provided interesting opportunities to adapt this technique to the winery environment.  

 

 

This lecture will cover different electroanalytical approaches of potential interest for the wine industry, with particular emphasis on voltammetric methods and their application to the monitoring of winery-relevant processes and parameters as well as for wine grade classification and varietal characterization. Additional possibilities will also be explored, in particular those related to the rapid classification of enological products such as commercial tannins or oak derivatives. Along with highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of the techniques presented, novel integrated approaches will be discussed. In particular, the combined use of advanced multivariate data analysis and artificial intelligence can unlock the capabilities of voltametric methods in the development of approaches of predictive enology. Among these, the possibility to develop tools for wine shelf-life prediction will be discussed

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE VOLATILE COMPOUNDS PROFILE OF COMMERCIAL GRAPPAS OBTAINED FROM THE POMACE OF AMARONE WINES

Grappa is a traditional Italian alcoholic beverage, with an alcohol content generally between 40-60% vol., obtained from the distillation of grape pomace used for the production of wine. Grappa are often aged in wooden barrels. There are various types of grappa: young, aromatic, aged, extra-aged depending on whether the distillate comes from aromatic vines or is aged in wooden barrels for shorter or longer periods. There is also flavored grappa if herbs, fruit or roots are added. All this makes it an extremely heterogeneous product both from an organoleptic and compositional point of view.

Terroir aspects of harvest timing in a cool climate wine region: physiology, berry skin phenolic composition and wine quality

Preliminary experiment of harvest timing was carried out in Eger wine district, Hungary in 2009. In situ physiological responses, berry quality parameters and wine quality of the Kékfrankos grapevine were studied at two growing sites (Eger-K6lyuktet6 – non-stressed, flat vineyard, and Eger-Nagyeged hill – water stressed, steep slope vineyard).

Volatile and phenolic composition of Agiorgitiko wines from eight different areas of PDO Nemea zone

AIM: Agiorgitiko (Vitis vinifera L. cv.) is the most cultivated red grapewine variety in Greece1 located mainly in Nemea region, the largest PDO zone in Greece2. Although Agiorgitiko is considered as one of the most interesting red grape varieties, not only in Greece3, but also at international level4,5, however, there is a lack of knowledge

Drought responses of grapevine cultivars under different environments

Using grapevine genetic diversity is one of the strategies to adapt viticulture to climate change. In this sense, assessing the plasticity of cultivars in their responses to environmental conditions is essential. For this purpose, the drought tolerance of Grenache, Tempranillo and Semillon cultivars grafted onto SO4 was evaluated at two experimental vineyards, one located in Valencia (Spain) and the other in Bordeaux (France). This was done by assessing gas exchange parameters, water relations and leaf hydraulic traits at the end of the season.
