Color stabilization properties of oenological tannins

Abstract

The use of oenological tannins is authorized for many years by the OIV and advised for color stabilization. For this reason, winemakers look for a better understanding of tannins/anthocyanins interactions to produce deeply colored wines with great color stability during aging. Consequently, the aim of this work, was to verify/confirm the effectiveness of oenological tannins on wine color stabilization to be applied as a new tool by winemakers. 

To achieved this, a model wine solution containing 50 mg/L of malvidin-3-O-monoglucoside was supplemented with 10, 20 and 40 g/hL of commercial tannins (quebracho, ellagitannin, gallotannin, grape-skin and grape-seed) or (-)-epicatechin used as reference. After 1, 7, 14 and 21 days, the full absorbance spectrum (400-800 nm) was measured to determine the CIELAB coordinates and the copigmentation index (new proposed index based on CIELAB parameters). In parallel, samples were injected in HPLC-MS-QTOF to quantified the malvidin-3-O-monoglucoside and its possible degradation products. 

The obtained results show that malvidin-3-O-glucoside concentration decrease during the time accompanied by the formation of two degradation products. However, malvidin-3-O-glucoside decrease differs according to the added tannins meanwhile degradation product formation is the same for all the tannins. In this way, botanical origin of oenological tannins influences their effectiveness. Indeed, gallotanins and grape tannins are the most efficient to improve color stabilization during ageing by copigmentation and by inducing the formation of new polymerized pigments respectively.

Based on this work, oenological tannins have been authorized by the OIV, to stabilize the color of red wines with the modification of the OENO-TECHNO 612 and 613 sheets.

Georgian vitis germplasm: conservation, research and usage

Grapevine Vitis vinifera L. is a leader perennial crops for the Republic of Georgia, the South Caucasus. This is a region where the first wine making practice was initiated 8.000 years ago (McGovern et al. 2017) and a spot of grape domestication. The country of Georgia holds 525 local and more than 60 breeding varieties – they are preserved in 9 field collections inside the country.The list of recommended wine cultivars contains 34 names, including 27 old autochthonous varieties and covering 94% of the country’s vineyards.

Simultaneous monitoring of dissolved CO2 and collar from Rosé sparkling wine glasses: the impact of yeast macromolecules

Champagne or sparkling wines elaborated through the same traditional method, which consists in two major yeast-fermented steps, typically hold about 10 to 12 g/L of dissolved CO2 after the second fermentation in a closed bottle. Hundreds of molecules and macromolecules originating from grape and yeast cohabit with dissolved CO2; they are essential compounds contributing to many organoleptic characteristics (effervescence, foam, aroma, taste, colour…). Indeed, the second alcoholic fermentation and the maturation on lees (which may last from 12 months up to several years) both induce various quantitative and qualitative changes in the wine through the action of yeast, as listed hereafter: development of aromas during aging on lees, release of nitrogen compounds during autolysis and release of macromolecules (polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids) in wine.

French wine sector facing climate change (part. 2) : the implementation of the national strategy

This summary follows this made by Hervé Hannin et al. Entitled “French wine sector facing climate change (part. 1) : a national strategy built on a foresight and participatory approach “. The french wine sector has taken a collective approach to the issue of climate change, and has officially submitted its strategy to the minister of agriculture in 2021. This industry policy is the result of multidisciplinary work carried out through the “laccave” project (metaprogramme accaf, inrae) and its prospective study designed to anticipate climate change in the french wine industry (aigrain p. Et al., 2016). French wine professionals decided to structure a strategy to deal with climate change du in particular to the presentation made at the 2016 OIV congress in Brazil.

Impact of crop load management on terpene content in gewürztraminer grapes

Context and purpose of the study ‐ Crop load management by cluster thinning can improve ripening and the concentration of key metabolites for grape and wine quality. However, little work has been done on testing the impact of crop load management on terpene content of white grapes. The goal of the study was to assess if by reducing crop load via cluster thinning growers can increase terpene concentration of grapes, as well as to test if the timing of thinning application affects terpene concentration.
