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

Investigating water stress-related seasonal and spatial patterns and the possible links with juice and wine compositional parameters

The mapping of spatial variability in vineyards offers the potential to implement zonal management strategies with the aim to optimize economic benefits and increase sustainability by managing natural resources, such as water used for irrigation, more optimally. This study characterized the (natural) variability in plant water status in a commercial Cabernet Sauvignon block, using remote sensing techniques, and identified the impact of this variability on the yield, and juice and wine composition. From the field data collected over two growing seasons, we demonstrated that remote sensing techniques are a practical and powerful tool for mapping spatial variability within vineyard blocks.

MAPPING THE CONCENTRATIONS OF GASEOUS ETHANOL IN THE HEADSPACE OF CHAMPAGNE GLASSES THROUGH INFRARED LASER ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

Under standard wine tasting conditions, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible for the wine’s bouquet progressively invade the glass headspace above the wine surface. Most of wines being complex water/ethanol mixtures (with typically 10-15 % ethanol by volume), gaseous ethanol is therefore undoubtedly the most abundant VOC in the glass headspace [1]. Yet, gaseous ethanol is known to have a multimodal influence on wine’s perception [2]. Of particular importance to flavor perception is the effect of ethanol on the release of aroma compounds into the headspace of the beverage [1].
