Monitoring gas-phase CO2 in the headspace of champagne glasses through diode laser spectrometry

Abstract

During Champagne or sparkling wine tasting, gas-phase CO2 and volatile organic compounds invade the headspace above glasses [1], thus progressively modifying the chemical space perceived by the consumer. Gas-phase CO2 in excess can even cause a very unpleasant tingling sensation perturbing both ortho- and retronasal olfactory perception [2]. Monitoring as accurately as possible the level of gas-phase CO2 above glasses is therefore a challenge of importance aimed at better understanding the close relationship between the release of CO2 and a collection of various tasting parameters.

Based on the tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), a diode laser spectrometer (namely, the CO2-DLS) dedicated to monitor gas-phase CO2 in the headspace of champagne glasses was developed [3,4]. The concentration of gas-phase CO2 found in the headspace of champagne glasses served under multivariate conditions was accurately monitored, all along the first 10 minutes following the action of pouring. Our results show the strong impact of various tasting conditions (such as the volume of wine dispensed, the glass shape, the wine temperature, or the level of effervescence, for example) on the release of gas-phase CO2 above the champagne surface. Moreover, a recent upgrading of the CO2-DLS allowed us to evidence that the concentration of gas-phase CO2 in the headspace of a champagne glass is far from being homogeneous in either space or time, with much higher gas-phase CO2 concentrations close to the wine interface.

STATISTICAL COMPARISON OF GROWTH PARAMETERS OF NINE BIOPROTECTION STRAINS IMPLEMENTED ON ARTIFICIALLY CONTAMINATED SYNTHETIC MUST

In recent years, consumer demand for products without chemical additives increased, becoming a priority for the wine sector. SO₂ is widely used for its multiple properties including antiseptics, antioxidants and antioxidasics and the strategy of bioprotection in winemaking represents now an alternative to this chemical additive. In oenology, results have highlighted the interest of bioprotection to limit the development of microorganisms like Hanseniaspora uvarum and thus reduce the doses of sulphite. Indeed, this species is considered because of its acetic acid and methyl butyl acetate production, the latter can cover the varietal character of wines.

Evaluation of consumer behaviour, acceptance and willingness to return of faulty wines

The analysis of consumer attitudes towards wine, especially towards wines perceived as faulty, is an aspect that requires more research than has been carried out so far [1]. This study aims to analyse consumer behaviour in situations involving the consumption of faulty wines and to assess the level of acceptance of such wines.

Feminin vs masculin: the sensorial opposition between chambolle-musigny and gevrey-chambertin wines and the socioeconomical construction of a terroir/taste wine paradigm

At least since de XIXth century, wine writers oppose quite often the wines from Gevrey-Chambertin to the wines from Chambolle-Musigny claiming that the former are more “masculine” (full-bodied, powerful tannins, leathery, rustic…) and the later more “feminine” (delicate, elegant, silky, flowery…).
