UNRAVELLING THE ROLE OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA ON SPARKLING WINE ELABORATION THROUGH METABOLOMICS APPROACH

Abstract

Xinomavro is a red grape variety from Northern Greece (Protected Designation of Origin), known for the nice acidities, perfectly appropriate for sparkling wine production (Rosé and Blanc de Noir). The elaboration of sparkling wine requires technical as well as scientific skills. Although the impact of the yeast strains and their metabolites on the final product quality is well documented, the action of bacteria still remains unknown.

The present work focuses (i) on the population diversity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from sparkling wines and (ii) on the technological effect of the species during sparkling wine elaboration. Bacterial strains were typed by multiple loci VNTR analysis (MLVA) based on five tandem repeats loci and 3 different strains were chosen as starters for the sparkling wine production.

Xinomavro base wine was treated according to the winery production protocol and second fermentation was realised in the bottle under 6 different inoculation schemes.1) addition of S. cerevisiae (Lalvin DV10) 2) addition of S. cerevisiae (Lalvin DV10) and Lysozyme (40g/hL) 3) addition of S. cerevisiae (Lalvin DV10) and O. oeni Greek strain (UNIWA collection) 4) addition of S. cerevisiae (Lalvin DV10) and O. oeni French strain (CRBO collection) 5) addition of S. cerevisiae (Lalvin DV10) and O. oeni Commercial strain 6) addition of Schizo saccharomyces pombe strain (NRRL collection). Twelve months after the second fermentation in the bottle, oenological parameters were determined according to the OIV protocols, the volatile compounds produced were measured by GC/MS, and the metabolomic fingerprint analysis were acquired by an UPLC-HDMS-QTof-MS instrument. Finally, all produced wines were evaluated by quantitative descriptive sensorial analysis.

Malolactic fermentations were realized in all cases except the condition n°2 where lysozyme was added. Forty compounds were quantified and separated according to their chemical classes (monoterpenes, norisoprenoids, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, acids, and ketones) while statistical analysis showed the presence of three groups of sparkling wines according to the inoculation scheme. The untargeted metabolomic approach clearly discriminated the action of bacteria and revealed intra species variability at strain level. This is the first time that highlights the role of lactic acid bacteria and precisely of the species of O. oeni to sparkling wine elaboration.

POTENTIAL OF PEPTIDASES FOR AVOIDING PROTEIN HAZES IN MUST AND WINE

Haze formation in wine during transportation and storage is an important issue for winemakers, since turbid wines are unacceptable for sale. Such haze often results from aggregation of unstable grape proteinaceous colloids. To date, foreseeably unstable wines need to be treated with bentonite to remove these, while excessive quantities, which are often required, affect the wine volume and quality (Cosme et al. 2020). One solution to avoid these drawbacks might be the use of peptidases. Marangon et al. (2012) reported that Aspergillopepsins I and II were able to hydrolyse the respective haze-relevant proteins in combination with a flash pasteurisation. In 2021, the OIV approved this enzymatic treatment for wine stabilisation (OIV-OENO 541A and 541B).

Beyond liking scores: the importance of the drinking experience to understand our consumers

The presentation will approach the understanding of wine consumers´ perception based on the experiential model suggested by Warell (2008). In this framework, wine consumption gives rise to a
variety of experiences related to the perception, understanding, and judgment of the product. These
multidimensional facets of the drinking experience can be explored by measuring affective, cognitive,
and sensory responses of consumers, which are shown to be stable regardless of the social context.

Molecular approaches for understanding and modulating wine taste

Wine consumers generally demand wines having a perception of softer tannins and less ripe, having a heaviness and richness on palate (full-body wine) with a limpid and stable color. However, polyphenol
(tannins)-rich wines have been also correlated with unpleasant taste properties such as astringency and
bitterness when perceived at high intensities. Modulating these unpleasant properties could be important for consumer’s approval of wines.

NEW INSIGHTS INTO VOLATILE SULPHUR COMPOUNDS SCALPING ON MICROAGGLOMERATED WINE CLOSURES

The evolution of wine during bottle ageing has been of great interest to ensure consistent quality over time. While the role of wine closures on the amount of oxygen is well-known [1], closures could also play other roles such as the scalping phenomenon of flavour compounds. Flavour scalping has been described as the sorption of flavour compounds by the packaging material, which could result in losses of flavour intensity. It has been reported in the literature that volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) can be scalped on wine closures depending on the type of closure (traditional and agglomerated cork, screw-cap, synthetic [2]).

WHITE WINES OXIDATIVE STABILITY: A 2-VINTAGE STUDY OF CHARDONNAY CHAMPAGNE BASE WINES AGED ON LEES IN BARRELS

Ultra-premium champagne wines are characterized by a long stay on laths. The goal of the winemaker is to use all possible oenological techniques to keep the aromatic freshness of the future products. To that purpose, some champagne base wines can be aged on lees in oak barrels. However, if it is now acknowledged that such ageing practices contribute to the oxidative stability of dry white wines, no study has been done on Chardonnay champagne base wines designed for a long ageing on laths [1].
