Q-NMR measurements: quantitative analysis of wine composition applied to Bordeaux red wines authenticity control

Abstract

Traceability of wine is today a consumer demand and a scientific challenge. The methods of analysis must be able to control three fundamental parameters: the geographical origin, the grape varieties, and the vintage. With these focus, the CIVB supports the creation of a VRAI platform (Wine-Research-Authenticity-Identity) within the ISVV (Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences). This platform aims to develop analytical tools to guarantee the origin of a wine. Quantitative Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (qNMR) may be a great tool to help authenticate wines. The acquisition of a large number of wine parameters requires a small volume (a few hundred microliters) and the analysis is performed in a few minutes. This innovative analytical technique can therefore be useful to characterize wines quality and authenticity particularly in the context of priceless wine. 

A NMR-based metabolomics method was developed to semiautomatically quantify many wine components [1]. An original approach based on similarity score (s-score) was developed for wine comparison. Using this approach, a comparative evaluation of the results obtained for three sets of authentic high-valued wines and suspect wines was studied with two methodologies: (i) usual wine analysis, based on the use of multiple techniques, which is the traditional way of analysis for wine authentication and (ii) q-NMR profiling [2]. In order to consider a global aging uncertainty, samples from the same batch from old vintages were analyzed to estimate aging impact on wine composition. Results showed that q-NMR can detect cases of fraud by comparison with the original wine provided by the estate, according to conclusions of official methods. 

More, a database of commercial French wines was built with q-NMR data to examine the specific Bordeaux red wines fingerprinting. Several statistical analyses were performed to classify wines according to their geographical origin, vintage. Results revealed a singular imprint of Bordeaux wines in comparison with other French wines, with classification rates ranging from 71 % to 100 %. These analysies highlighted several specific metabolites of Bordeaux red wines and showed the influence of terroir in the discrimination. Also, Bordeaux subdivisions were investigated, and effects of wines evolution during bottle aging and vintage were pointed out. These studies provide a global and practical description of the potential of q-NMR for wine authentication.

The Hungarian system of geographical indications and the preparation of product specifications

Following the 2008-2009 reform of the European Union’s common market organisation in wine all protected designations of origin and geographical indications were imposed to prepare a product specification that described the conditions of their use. In this paper, we describe this process and the Hungarian system of geographical indications.

Defining the mechanisms and impact of winemaking treatments on tannin and polysaccharides in red wine: recent progress in creating diverse styles

Tannin and polysaccharide concentration and composition is important in defining the texture of red wines, but can vary due to factors such as cultivar, region, grape ripeness, viticultural practices and winemaking techniques. However, the concentration and composition of these macromolecules is dependent not only on grape tannin and polysaccharide concentration and composition, but also their extractability and, in the case of polysaccharides, their formation by yeast. Through studies into the influence of grape maturity, winemaking and sensory impacts of red grape polysaccharides, seed and skin tannins, recent research in our laboratory has shown that the processes involved in the extraction of these macromolecules from grapes and their retention in wine are very complex.

La pianificazione del paesaggio agrario vitivinicolo del basso Monferrato

Monferrato is a sub region of Piedmont featuring an endless series of hills which have been moulded through the centuries by laborious farming. Vineyards have always been the protagonists of Monferrato landscape. Asti vineyards have been well-known since Roman times and Pliny the Elder mentions them.

Application of GiESCO “bio-metaethics” charter in practice: the “direct” involvement of vine grower, winemaker, society

On the basis of a direct agreement between the GiESCO and the vine grower, the winemaker and the consumers (individual; company; public or private organizations), the communication on the content of the charter can be done as follows:
• Commitment to respect the basic rules of the GiESCO “BIO – MetaEthics” charter.
1/ Put Mankind in the depth of all concerns in a universal context: (grower, consumer, citizen, work valuing, education, security)
2/ Insure minimum impact on environment by optimizing cultivation technics: (maximum of natural biodegradable products, friendly practices, short channels, renewable energies, terroir sustainability)

The commercial yeast strain as a significant source of variance for tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol in white wine

Tyrosol (TYR) and hydroxytyrosol (HYT) are bioactive phenols present in olive oil and wine, basic elements of the Mediterranean diet. TYR is reported in the literature for its interesting antioxidant, cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. In wine, its concentration can reach values as high as about 40 mg/L
[Pour Nikfardjam et al. 2007] but, more frequently, this phenol – derived from yeast metabolism of tyrosine during fermentation – is present at lower levels, generally higher in red wines compared to whites. HYT was measured for the first time by Di Tommaso et al. [1998] in Italian wines – with maximum values of 4.20 mg/L and 1.92 mg/L for red and white wines, respectively – while definitely lower concentrations have been found later in Greek samples.
