Mineral-wine profile and AI: wine authentication and identification

Abstract

The use of a wine’s mineral profile (MWP) as a stable and distinctive fingerprint can revolutionize wine authentication. By employing inductively coupled mass spectrometry, we assessed the concentration of 11B, 23Na, 24Mg, 27Al, 28Si, 31P, 34S, 35Cl, 39K, 43Ca, 45Sc, 47Ti, 51V, 52Cr, 55Mn, 56Fe, 59Co, 60Ni, 63Cu, 66Zn, 75As, 79Br, 85Rb, 88Sr, 89Y, 90Zr, 93Nb, 111Cd, 118Sn, 127I, 133Cs, 137Ba, 139La, 140Ce, 141Pr, 146Nd, 182W, 205Tl, 208Pb, 238U with minimal sample preparation. MWP is shaped at least by soil composition and winemaking techniques. This last factor may overshadow the terroir when defining this profile, hindering origin-related information extraction. However, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) presents itself as a solution. More than 19,000 MWPs were analysed, laying the groundwork for a machine-learning algorithm to assess wine’s country, region and main grape variety. Extreme Gradient Boosting was employed, exceeding scores of areas under the receiving operating characteristic curves of 0.9 for country, French wine region and grape variety classification. This performance enables a specificity of wine authentication up to 99%, demonstrating the potential of combining AI and MWP analysis. This study highlights the importance of comprehensive MWP datasets for advancing AI applications in origin verification, offering a promising tool for the wine industry to enhance security and consumer trust.

Profilo multiminerale e intelligenza artificiale: autenticazione e identificazione del vino

Migliorare il profilo multiminerale dei vini: dall’autenticazione all’identificazione con l’intelligenza artificiale per una maggiore sicurezza.  L’analisi del profilo di concentrazione minerale di un vino fornisce un’impronta digitale distintiva per ogni cuvée. A differenza dei profili organici, questa firma di identificazione (profilo caratteristico) rimane stabile nel tempo e può essere decifrata con un metodo di analisi diretta basato sulla spettrometria di massa ad accoppiamento induttivo (icp-ms). Con pochi millilitri di vino e una rapida preparazione, è possibile identificare più di 40 elementi minerali in concentrazioni che vanno dai grammi per litro per il potassio alle decine di nanogrammi per litro per le ultratracce metalliche, come i lantanidi.  Questa metodologia ci permette di caratterizzare quello che chiamiamo il wine mineral profile (mwp). Gli elementi minerali svolgono un ruolo cruciale nel territorio del vino, essendo principalmente derivati dal suolo attraverso l’uva e influenzati da varie tecniche di vinificazione. Tuttavia, nonostante la loro importanza, le caratteristiche del suolo sono spesso oscurate dalla moltitudine di procedure enologiche successive, ponendo notevoli sfide per l’estrazione di informazioni relative all’origine in un contesto convenzionale. Il nostro studio dimostra che l’intelligenza artificiale (ia) sta emergendo come uno strumento ottimale per decifrare accuratamente le informazioni sull’origine dal profilo minerale del vino, a condizione che venga misurato un numero sufficiente di elementi minerali e che venga esaminato un insieme ampio e completo di campioni di vino per un apprendimento efficace.  Nel corso di questo studio, in poco più di un anno è stato creato un set di dati comprendente più di 18.000 mwp. La nostra analisi si è poi concentrata sullo sviluppo di un metodo di apprendimento automatico per valutare l’origine del vino (paese, regione e denominazione) e il vitigno principale. Sono stati testati sei modelli confrontando l’area sotto la curva roc (auc). Sono stati raggiunti punteggi medi di auc superiori a 0,9 per la classificazione del paese, della regione vinicola francese e del vitigno per le identificazioni multiple di “vini sconosciuti”. Questo studio rappresenta la prima indagine completa su questa scala che coinvolge campioni di vino, sottolineando l’importanza di un set di dati mwp completo per le applicazioni di ia nella verifica dell’origine del vino. L’autenticazione del vino con una specificità superiore al 99% può già essere offerta utilizzando questo approccio.

Profil multi-minéral et ia : authentification et identification des vins 

Valorisation du profil multi-minéral des vins : de l’authentification à l’identification par intelligence artificielle pour une sécurisation renforcée.  L’analyse du profil de concentration en éléments minéraux d’un vin offre une empreinte distinctive pour chaque cuvée. Contrairement aux profils organiques, cette signature d’identification reste stable dans le temps et peut être déchiffrée grâce à une méthode d’analyse directe par spectrométrie de masse à couplage inductif (icp-ms). Avec quelques millilitres de vin et une préparation rapide, plus de 40 éléments minéraux peuvent être identifiés dans des concentrations allant de l’ordre du gramme par litre pour le potassium, à des concentrations de quelques dizaines de nanogrammes par litre pour les ultra-traces métalliques, telles que les lanthanides. Cette méthodologie permet de caractériser ce que nous appelons le profil minéral du vin (mwp). Les éléments minéraux jouent un rôle crucial dans le terroir du vin, étant principalement issus du sol à travers les raisins et influencés par diverses techniques de vinification. Cependant, malgré leur importance, les caractéristiques du sol sont souvent occultées par la multitude de procédures œnologiques ultérieures, posant ainsi des défis considérables pour extraire des informations liées à l’origine dans un contexte classique. Notre étude démontre que l’intelligence artificielle (ia) émerge comme un outil optimal pour décrypter avec précision les informations d’origine à partir du profil minéral du vin, à condition qu’un nombre suffisant d’éléments minéraux soient mesurés et qu’un ensemble de données volumineux et complet d’échantillons de vin soit examiné pour un apprentissage efficace. Au cours de cette étude, un ensemble de données comprenant plus de 18 000 mwp a été constitué en un peu plus d’un an. Notre analyse s’est ensuite concentrée sur le développement d’une méthode d’apprentissage automatique pour évaluer l’origine du vin (pays, région et appellation) et le cépage principal. Six modèles ont été testés en comparant l’aire sous la courbe roc (auc). Des scores moyens d’auc supérieurs à 0,9 pour la classification par pays, pour la région viticole française et pour le cépage ont déjà été atteints pour de multiples identifications de « vins inconnus ».  Cette étude représente la première investigation complète à cette échelle impliquant des échantillons de vin, soulignant l’importance d’un ensemble de données mwp complet pour les applications d’ia dans la vérification de l’origine du vin. L’authentification d’un vin avec plus de 99% de spécificité peut déjà être proposée grâce à cette approche.

Un jour, l’AOD (Appellation d’Origine viticole Durable), fusion de l’origine et de la durabilité

The evolution of wine quality issues is historically expressed by the passage from wine quality (what is a wine?) to wine quality (what is a good wine?). Perhaps the next question could be: what is a good sustainable wine? To contribute to reflection on this theme, it may be worthwhile to undertake an exercise in prospective fiction, which we have identified in the hypothesis of the AOD, the “appellation d’origine durable”, a scenario we will develop in the light of developments in the wine industry and the regulation on geographical indications.

Innovative approaches in the evaluation of the spatial and temporal biodiversity of grape varieties from the Portuguese Bairrada appellation using LIMM-PCA: a study across five harvests

Sustainable viticulture and winemaking continue to represent huge challenges, where a better knowledge about the functional role of biodiversity in the vineyard and wine ecosystems is required, as well as the varieties plasticity. Particular attention should be devoted to the spatial and temporal interactions between authorized or recommended varieties for a specific demarcated region and clime and vineyard conditions (such as soil type, orientation of the lines, age of the vine, density of planting, harvesting practices, among others).

An innovative 21st century frost alert system for an age-old viticulture challenge

Damage during the budbreak period due to spring season frosts remains one of the most significant weather-related challenges to viticulture around the world. For example, in 2021, €2bn of estimated damage was reported in france while >50% of vineyards were badly affected in the UK in 2017.

Emosensory profile and chemical characterization of wine vinegar from the Douro and Rioja demarcated regions

Wine vinegars have a tangy flavor and are versatile in cooking. They’ve been used since the neolithic period and are now used as microbial inhibitors and acidifiers. They’re low in calories, have antioxidants, and have a long shelf life, but quality may decrease after opening. The objective of this study focuses on the physical-chemical, sensory, and emotional characterization of wine vinegar samples from the douro demarcated region and la rioja. In total, 22 samples of wine vinegar were analyzed at the time of opening.

An online training tool for wine professionals around the world: from responsible service to a sustainable consumption of wine

Most consumers enjoy wine in moderation, however, there remains a minority that may develop risky drinking habits, potentially harming themselves and those around them. For the last fifteen years, a prime objective of the wine in moderation programme has been to educate and empower the wine sector and now for the first time, a central education tool has been developed, integrating the topic of moderate consumption horizontally in all wine activities. The entire wine value chain – from the producer to the salesperson to the restaurant service staff – can contribute to reduce harmful consumption and encourage responsible drinking patterns.
