Arsenic in berries and its correlation with natural soil content: experience in Trentino (Italy)

When the cork is in direct contact with an alcoholic solution such as in case of a bottle wine, some cork components can migrate into the wine.

Context and purpose of the study. Viticulture faces significant challenges due to climate change, with increased frequency of extreme weather events impacting grapevine growth, grape quality, and wine production.

The majority of soils used for wine and table grape production in South Africa are notoriously shallow, i.e. they are restricting root penetration.

The vocabulary used to describe wine aroma is commonly organized according to color, raising the question of whether they reflect the reality of olfactory perception. Previous studies have assumed this convention of color-aroma matching, and have investigated color’s influence on the perception of aroma only in dyed white wine or in red wine from particular places of origin. Here 48 white and red varietal wines from around the world were evaluated in black glasses then in clear glasses by a panel of wine experts, who gave intensity ratings for aroma attributes commonly used by wine professionals. In black glasses, aromas conventionally associated with white wine were perceived in the red wines, and vice versa.

The wine industry is increasingly focused on carbon accounting due to consumer’s demand and the industry’s goal of reducing carbon emissions.
