Haplotype-resolved genome assemblies of Chasselas and Ugni Blanc

Context and purpose of the study. Climate change is affecting wine production and induces a large variability in wine composition between vintages.

This study examined the evolution of wine consumption trends from 2019 to 2024, analyzing market dynamics, sustainability preferences, and generational shifts in consumer behavior.

Proanthocyanidins are important phenolic fraction for wine quality, contributing to astringency, bitterness and color. Their metabolism begins in the mouth and continues throughout the gastrointestinal tract; however, most of them are accumulated in the colon where are metabolized by the intestinal microbiota, giving rise to a whole series of phenolic acids that may have greater activity at physiological level than the precursors[1]. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the bioaccessibility of proanthocyanidins in a red wine developed by Bodegas Pradorey, as well as to evaluate the potential effect of intestinal microbiota on polyphenols metabolism identifying and quantifying secondary metabolites.

‘Timorasso’ is an autochthonous white grape variety from southern Piedmont (Italy) used for producing wines in the Colli Tortonesi product designation of origin (PDO). Over the last decade, there has been a notable rise in its production, due to the increased interest of wine enthusiasts who prized its wine distinctive ageing notes [1].
