Beyond classical statistics – data fusion coupled with pattern recognition

Abstract

AIM: Patterns in data obtained from wine chemical and sensory evaluations are difficult to infer using classical statistics. Pattern recognition can be resolved by coupling data fusion with machine learning techniques, possibly leading to new hypotheses being formed. This study demonstrates the applicability of two pattern recognition approaches using as case study involving Chenin Blanc wines (recently bottled and after two years storage) from young (35 years) vines.

METHODS: Sensory (sorting (Mafata et al. 2020)) and chemical (NMR: nuclear magnetic resonance, HRMS: high resolution mass spectrometry, and UV-Vis: ultraviolet spectrophotometry) data were collected for the young and aged (two years in the bottle) wines. Data sets were combined using multiple factor analysis (MFA). Exploratory unsupervised cluster analysis was performed by agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) and Fuzzy-k means (Bezdek 1981). Optimal cluster conditions were found for both methods and the cophenetic coefficient was used to assess the most confident clustering method.

RESULTS: Since large data sets were fused, the models were very complex. There were no consistent clustering patterns when varying clustering conditions, signalling high similarity between samples. The samples could not confidently be distinguished from one another even at the highest optimized conditions. Although Fuzzy-k means gave more confident clustering, it was still not sufficient for solving classification issues in this sample set.

CONCLUSIONS:

Fuzzy-k means was better at resolving the natural grouping of samples. Coupled to data fusion, it could potentially lead to better pattern recognition, especially for oenological chemical and sensory data. The fuzzy approach should be explored, keeping in mind it is more sensitive to small differences in the data compared to classical statistics.

Storia del prosecco e del suo territorio di produzione: un percorso di studi in continuo progresso

Nella realtà viticola Italiana il Prosecco è uno degli esempi più evidenti di un percorso storico che ha saputo valorizzare lo stretto legame tra vitigno e territorio d’origine.

Reconocimiento geoedafológico para la zonificación vitivinícola de la D.O. Montilla-Moriles

En la región vitivinícola con D.O. Montilla-Moriles (Córdoba) la variabilidad geologico-petrográfica de los terrenos es grande (ROLDÁN GARCÍA y DIVAR RODRÍGUEZ, 1988 a; roldán garcía et al.

Exploring grapevine water relations in the context of fruit growth at pre- and post-veraison

Climate change is increasing the frequency of water deficit in many grape-growing regions. Grapevine varieties differ in their stomatal behavior during water deficit, and their ability to regulate water potential under dry soil conditions is commonly differentiated using the concept of isohydricity. It remains unclear whether stomatal behavior, water potential regulation, and the resulting degree of isohydricity has a relationship with changes to fruit growth during water deficit. This study was conducted on four varieties (`Cabernet Franc`, `Semillon`, `Grenache`, and `Riesling`) subjected to both short-term, severe water deficit and long-term, moderate water deficit applied at both pre- and post-veraison.

Le terre dei Lambruschi modenesi

La superficie vitata della provincia di Modena é per circa il 70% interessata dai Lambruschi, famiglia di vitigni tipica dei territori pianeggianti emiliani. Tra questi, i più rappresentativi sono il Lambrusco di Sorbara, il Lambrusco salamino e il Lambrusco grasparossa che, unico esempio, predilige gli ambienti collinari della provincia. Nel quinquennio 2001-2005 la Provincia di Modena ed il C.R.P.V. hanno coordinato la zonazione viticola di tutto il territorio dei Lambruschi modenesi, i cui risultati hanno consentito di individuare, in ciascuna zona D.O.C., alcune Terre in cui cias.

How are canned wine drinkers perceived? An investigation involving Swiss nationals and different scenarios of outdoor leisure activities

This study examines how people who consume wine in cans are perceived in terms of their basic personality characteristics, helps understand the role of cultural background on people’s perception, and verify the role played by the consumption context on the perception. Our hypothesis is that prejudice and negative attitudes towards wine in cans might exert a negative effect on the evaluation of people who consume canned wine. To evaluate this hypothesis, the consumption of wine in cans was evoked in four different contexts of use during outdoor leisure activity (beach resort, ski resort, desert safari, and party). In order to examine the effect of culture on subject’s response we use participants from Switzerland, a country where three different cultures, associated with three different languages, cohabit.

INVESTIGATION INTO MOUSY OFF-FLAVOR IN WINE USING GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY WITH STIR BAR SORPTIVE EXTRACTION

Mousy off-flavor is one of the defects of microbial origin in wine. It is described as a particularly unpleasant defect reminiscent of rodent urine (a “dirty mouse cage”), and grilled foods such as popcorn, rice, crackers, and bread crust. Prior to the 2010s, mousiness was very uncommon but it has been becoming more frequent in recent years. It is often associated with an increase in pH as well as certain oenological practices, which tend to significantly decrease the use of sulfur dioxide.

Report on the work carried out by the zoning group of the O.I.V.

La création officielle du groupe Experts Zonage Vitivinicole à l’O.I.V., qui s’inscrit dans la Commission Viticulture, est récente. Le Professeur Mario FREGONI en assure la présidence depuis 1998, assisté du vice-président et du secrétaire général Mario FALCETTI. Ils ont été confirmés dans leurs fonctions lors des sessions de mars 2001. Actuellement, le groupe d’experts Zonage Vitivinicole de l’O.I.V. se compose de 40 délégués, représentant 18 pays membres. La mise en place de ce groupe a tout d’abord été initiée par l’Instituto Agrario de San Michele (Italie) et l’Unité de Recherches Vigne et Vin du Centre INRA d’Angers (France). Une collaboration entre les chercheurs s’est installée très tôt, dès 1987.

The use of unripe frozen musts for modulating wine characteristics throughout acidity correction – effects on volatile and amino acid composition

As environmental issues come more to the fore, vineyards residues are being looked at as solutions rather than problems. Aiming to develop a sustainable methodology for musts acidity correction in the process of winemaking, much needed in warm regions, the present study was performed according to Circular Economy values.

The influence of vine row position in terraced Merlot vineyards on water deficit and polyphenols – case study in the Vipava Valley, Slovenia

CHEMICAL DRIVERS OF POSITIVE REDUCTION IN NEW ZEALAND CHARDONNAY WINES

According to winemakers, wine experts and sommeliers, aromas of wet stone, mineral, struck match and flint in white wines styles, such as those produced from Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay, are considered to be hallmarks of positive reduction.1,2 In recent years, the production of Chardonnay styles defined by aroma characteristics related to positive reduction has become more desirable among wine experts and consumers. The chemical basis of positive reduction is thought to originate from the concentration of specific volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), including methanethiol (MeSH) imparting mineral and chalk notes,3 and benzenemethanethiol (BMT) responsible for struck match and flint.1,4
