Neural networks and ft-ir spectroscopy for the discrimination of single varietal and blended wines. A preliminary study.

Abstract

Blending wines from different grape varieties is often used in order to increase wine complexity and balance. Due to their popularity, several types of blends such as the Bordeaux blend, are protected by PDO legislation. In the case of monovarietal wines blending is forbidden, however there is no method to authenticate their status, and for this reason adulteration can are difficult to identify. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) has proven successful for the discrimination of wines based on several parameters such as geographical origin and type of aging[1], while the use of Neural Networks is now used more often for the development of prediction models. FT-IR spectroscopy coupled with Neural Networks have been used to develop a prediction model for the discrimination of single varietal and blended wines. Generalized RSquare for the training set was 0,9011 and 0,689 for the validation set, while the -Loglikelihood was 3,918 for the training and 0,111 for the validation set. The misclassified rate was 0,03 for the training set and 0,11 for the validation set, showing very good potential for the use of IR spectroscopy for the authentication of single varietal and blended wines.

Wine aging : a bottleneck Story ?

The sporadic oxidation of white wines remains an open question, making wine shelf life a subjective debate. Through a multidisciplinary synoptic approach performed as a remarkable case study on aged bottles of white wine, this work unraveled a yet unexplored route for uncontrolled oxidation.

The vascular connections in grafted plants under examination

Aims: Decreasing longevity of vineyards due to the increase in the infection of different grapevine trunk diseases is a growing concern, and could be related to the quality of grafting. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the use of xylem hydraulic conductivity measurements as a potential indicator for the quality of vascular connections in

PROGRESS OF STUDIES OF LEES ORIGINATING FROM THE FIRST ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION OF CHAMPAGNE WINES

Champagne wines are produced via a two-step process: the first is an initial alcoholic fermentation of grape must that produces a still base wine, followed by a second fermentation in bottle – the prise de mousse – that produces the effervescence. This appellation produces non-vintage sparkling wines composed of still base wines assembled from different vintages, varieties, and regions. These base wines, or “reserve wines,” are typically conserved on their fine lies and used to compensate for quality variance between vintages (1). Continuously blending small amounts of these reserve wines into newer ones also facilitates preserving the producer’s “house style.”

The role of molecular ecophysiology in terroir expression

Terroir is a complex concept which associates soil, climate, grape variety and cultural practices that include the training system and oenological techniques. It is a type of social construction with man at its centre. The typicality of a wine is also a social construction which is the result of an agreement among specialists vis à vis a given quality of the wine whose references are the wine’s origins (e.g. terroir) and taste.
