Untargeted metabolomics to identify potential chemical markers responsible for the permissiveness of red wines against Brettanomyces bruxellensis

Abstract

Red wines constitute the majority of the wines produced in Bordeaux. All along the winemaking process, many microorganisms may develop in wine. A lot of them are useful but a common defect found in wine is linked to the development of Brettanomyces bruxellensis, a yeast that produces volatile phenols. These molecules are responsible for an unwanted sensorial defect described as similar to “horse sweat”, “burnt plastic” or “leather”. It has been shown that while some wines are very permissive and easily contaminated, others are pretty resistant to Brettanomyces development. However, common parameters such as pH, alcohol or sugars composition cannot fully explain the differences observed in wine permissiveness.

In this study, we aim to explain the wine permissiveness by identifying chemical markers specifically present in permissive wines or, on the contrary, in resistant ones. To achieve this goal, we will analyze the metabolite profiles of red wines coming from different châteaux in Bordeaux and displaying different permissiveness, using targeted and untargeted metabolic profiling by UHPLC-UV-HRMS and 1H-NMR. A microbiological study measuring the growth of a couple of Brettanomyces strains will also be conducted to create and assess a permissiveness score for each wine. With the help of unsupervised statistical analyses, these results will be combined in order to draw correlations between the chemical markers and the score obtained by each wine.

Health space in vine spa in the world

This elaboration presents vine spa has precious contribution of social development health and well being in culture of wine regions. The majority of the vine-spas in the world draw raw materials from the vineyard; both for cosmetics treatments and for dishes in their restaurants. Vitis vinifera vine provides fresh grapes for dishes and massages, seeds and oil from the seeds, as well as the leaves, and its extracts, and above all the wine.

Identification of loci associated with specialised metabolites in Vitis vinifera

Secondary (or specialised) metabolites such as terpenes and phenolic compounds are produced by plants for various roles which include defence against pathogens and herbivores, protection against abiotic stress, and plant signalling. Additionally, these metabolites influence grapevine quality traits such as colour, aroma, taste, and nutritional value. However, the biosynthesis of these metabolites is often complex and controlled by multiple genes which in grapevine are predominantly uncharacterised.

SIP and save the planet: a sensory and consumer exploration of australian wines made from potentially drought-tolerant white wine grapes

In order to attenuate the effects of climate change on the ability to cultivate quality wine grape vines in Australia, it is essential to adapt to the projected less favourable Australian climate scenarios. One response may be to convert a portion of the current grapevine plantings to those varieties that demand less water and can tolerate increased heat. This investigation aimed to (i) generate sensory profiles and (ii) obtain knowledge about Australian wine consumers’ preferences and opinions of Australian wines made from potentially drought tolerant, white wine grape varieties not traditionally cultivated in Australia. A Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) sensory panel (n = 49) generated sensory profiles of 44 commercial white wines made from 7 different white grape varieties (Arinto, Fiano, Garganega, Greco, Verdejo, Verdelho and Vermentino), plus two benchmark examples each of an Australian Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay wine.
