What metabolomics teaches us about wine shelf life

Abstract

The metabolomics era started about 22 years ago, and wine was one of the first foodstuff subjects of analysis and investigation by this technique. Wine, which is most likely the richest food in terms of number of metabolites, was an excellent chemical model solution for chemists to explore the potentialities of this new technique, which enable untargeted study. Since then, metabolomics techniques were applied in several oenological studies shedding light on numerous questions from vine to glass.
In fact, metabolomics techniques helped us to gain knowledge on the chemical modifications taking place during the wine aging and shelf life, which has a paramount importance since wine is one of the few foods that aging may improve its sensorial character and economical value. Recently, the combination of well-designed experiments, high-resolution mass spectrometers and modern informatic tools opened new roads for better understating how primary and secondary metabolites are modified during aging, and we learned new reactions taking place or followed in detailed reactions which were not very clear. This talk will provide a snapshot of recent publications regarding the behaviour of wine’s metabolome during shelf life.

Assessment of O2 consumption, a new tool to select bioprotection yeast strains

Reduction of sulfur dioxide during winemaking is a request from the wine industry. To replace sulfur dioxide, various alternatives exist, including bioprotection by yeast inoculation. This practice consists in adding non-Saccharomyces yeasts directly on the grapes or must.

For a phenomenology of terroir. A consumers’ perspective

This study investigates the notion of terroir by applying a phenomenological approach, focusing on the subjective experience of consumers. We will consider how terroir is described by consumers in order to gauge their subjective viewpoint and understand their way of describing and defining this spatiality.

Applicability of spectrofluorometry and voltammetry in combination with machine learning approaches for authentication of DOCa Rioja Tempranillo wines

The main objective of the work was to develop a simple, robust and selective analytical tool that allows predicting the authenticity of Tempranillo wines from DOCa Rioja. The techniques of voltammetry and absorbance-transmission and fluorescence excitation emission matrix (A-TEEM) spectroscopy have been applied in combination with machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify red wines from DOCa Rioja according to region (Alavesa, Alta or Oriental) and category (young, crianza or reserva).

Synthesis of the contribution of the Giesco (group of international experts of vitivinicultural systems for cooperation) to the study of terroirs

Since 1998, the GiESCO (previously named GESCO: Groupe d’Etude des Systèmes de COnduite de la vigne) has provided the scientific community with relevant contributions to the study of terroirs. Here is a synthesis of the main terroir-related fields and the major ideas the GiESCO has developed: Basic Terroir Unit and climate, Vine Ecophysiology and microclimate – moderate drought, Vineyard heterogeneity and new technologies, Viticultural Terroir Unit and canopy management, Terroir – Territory and man.
