This study aims at making a sensorial analysis of red wines from the Șarba wine region, Odobești Vineyard. In order to determine wines from a sensory point of view, we first studied the influence of geomorphology on the sensory character. In the analysis of red wines sensorial quality we used several wines from 2012 (i.e. Pinot noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Black Fetească and Merlot), as 2012 was a beneficial year from the point of view of red grapes ripening, and the oenoclimatic index was favourable to obtaining savoury and flavoured wines. The vegetal flavour does not affect the wines’ harmony too much.

Grape Varieties

Grapes, the quintessential quality factor in winemaking, are found in certain areas of the globe where viticulture thrives. The quality of wine products is directly influenced by the quality of the grapes, their process technology, the care and the quality of the premises and equipment used, as well as the conditions for the storage and use of the wines. In most red wine-making processes, it is preferred that the maceration process is accompanied by the fermentation process, as increase in the alcohol content favours the intensification of the extraction process. For this reason, both processes are combined in a single technological operation known as maceration-fermentation. The largest amount of polyphenolic compounds of wine, anthocyanins and tannins comes from the solid parts of the grapes - the skins and seeds, and these have a decisive influence on the phenolic character of wines. Maceration is a fractional extraction which leads to the dissolution of the useful components of the grapes, which give the flavour, colour and taste typical of red wine. The aim of this research was to analyse the effect of different techniques of maceration fermentation on the phenolic composition of red wines obtained from Merlot, Pinot noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties in Copou-Iasi vineyard compared to red wines obtained from the same varieties in Murfaltar vineyard, located in the northeast and south of Romania, respectively. Wines obtained by maceration-fermentation in rotating tanks have higher values of the Folin-Ciocâlteu index (wines obtained from Pinot noir) in contrast to those obtained by the classical maceration-fermentation technique (wines obtained from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon).

The phenolic compounds of wines were measured in two local cultivars – Blaufränkisch and Turán, and three worldwide known varieties: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. An experiment was carried out in a cool climate wine region in Eger in the vintage of 2009. We have investigated the profile of phenolic contents in new wines and in aged wines. We have compared these wines in two ageing stages. The content of total polyphenols, anthocyanin, leucoanthocyanin, catechin, the colour intensity and hue were evaluated by a spectrophotometer. Stilbenes (SB) were identified and quantified by HPLC. The content of SB in new wines ranged from 0.44 mg/l to 2.25 mg/l. In aged wines the SB ranged from 0.05 mg/l to 3.12 mg/l. These compounds were influenced significantly by ageing. The positive health effects and the quality attributes of polyphenols would be important to obtain more information about the quality of wines from the nutritional point of view and from the wine processing aspect.

The climate changes in Murfatlar vineyard in recent years consist inthe increase ofmonthly average temperatures, recorded in both cold and warm seasons, accompanied by an irregular distribution of rainfall during the year, which significantly influences the growth of grapevine, the quality and production of grapes.Six representative cultivars were studied, three for white wines: Chardonnay, Columna and Muscat Ottonel and three for red wines: Fetească Neagră, Mamaia and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the last two years (2019-2020) warm winters and very dry summers have led to the onset of budburst, almost simultaneously for all the studied cultivars, followed by a very weak growth and development of shoots (2020) and an acceleration development of phenophases, mainly berween veraison and ripening. Water stress during the vegetative period, a hygroscopicity below 60% between July and August and low vegetative apparatus influenced the growth ofthe berries, resulting small grapes, and a very low must yield in 2020.Concerning the quality of grape production, the studied cultivars achieved more sugar concentrations in berries up to 35.8 g/L (in 2019) and 36.0 g/L (in 2020), higher than the values obtained in normal years. In the conditions of a pronounced dry climate manifested in the two years of study, the productions were below the normal level, especialy in 2020, achieving much diminished productions for all cultivars, except the Mamaia cultivar. The Mamaia cultivar had a positive reaction, registering an increase of production, that exceeded the multiannual value by 20% in 2020 andby 10% in 2019, the concentration of sugars in the must being above the average value obtained in normal years, exceeding by 3% and 9%, respectively, the multiannual average. Statistical calculations were done using SPSS Statistics 17.0, using mainly the Duncan test for a degree of significance of 5%.

AbstractA substantial oenological literature exists on opinions of experts and neophytes as they relate to opinions about the quality of wines (Ashenfelter and Quandt, 1998; Cicchetti, 2004; Lindley, 2006). These opinions can be contrasted with factual binary questions about wine: Is it oaked? Does it contain sulfites? Is it filtered? Is the grape varietal Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc? Syrah or Grenache? Pinot Noir or Gamay? Such factual binary issues are examined within the broader context of the various measures of factual judgment: Overall Accuracy (OA), Sensitivity (Se), Specificity (Sp), Predicted Positive Accuracy (PPA), and Predicted Negative Accuracy (PNA). The resulting biostatistical methodology derives from biobehavioral diagnostic research investigations. The purpose of this report is to apply this methodology to the discipline of oenology to compare wine judgments with wine facts. Using hypothetical examples, wine judges’ classifications of wines as oaked or unoaked were analyzed for their degree of accuracy. The results show that OA is a poor measure of the accuracy of binary judgments relative to Se, Sp, PPA, or PNA. The biostatistics of the problem could have wide-ranging applications in the design of future oenological research investigations, and in scientific research more broadly.

Anthocyanin Pigments

The Dragasani vineyard is one of the most ancient existing in Romania being famous for obtaining red and white wines of the highest quality. The present study has performed during five years (2005-2009), focusing on the anthocyanin profiles of the autochthonous Novac grapevine cultivar, in comparison with Cabernet Sauvignon cultivar which, also provides wines of high quality. The obtained results put into evidence, a special potential and chromatic structure in case of the grapes and wines characteristics for these autochthonous cultivars, which are very closed to those shown by the Cabernet Sauvignon. For all the cultivars studied, the amounts of cationical flavidium within the anthocyanin matter do keep continuously was growing, while acidity decreased and glucides was accumulated. However, at some moment, these synthesis indices of the cromatical structure’s quality begin to decline. Depending of the viticultural year it is the genetical nature of the respective anthocyanin pigments to differentiate through the involvements of each of the 3 categories of pigments (yellow, red or blue). During the wine’s evolution (maturation and aging), due to the modification of its cromatical structure, the ratio between the yellow and red pigments does confer to the wine a colour nuance which continues to increase, significantly improving the wine’s visual attraction. For the autochthonous grapevine cultivars for red wines, their antocyanins potential their respective qualities do enable us to state that on the basis of the quality of the raw materials, wine types of high qualities could be created, being so endowed that they could bear as well an origin denomination.

The aim of this research was to study the sensorial acceptance of a fortified food containing different minerals (calcium, magnesium and iron) and to determine the actual quantities present (bioaccessibility) when extracted in maté. A sensorial analysis was performed to compare sensorial quality of fortified and non-fortified maté. Although panelists identified differences between the fortified and non-fortified maté, only 3% of them commented on an unpleasant flavor. Sequential extraction assays were performed simulating maté consumption under laboratory conditions. Profile concentration diminished sharply after the second extraction. Magnesium was found to be completely extracted in the first 500 mL. Calcium and Iron were extracted in a very low percentage (29% and 25%, respectively). The outlet rate of the minerals was fitted to two models, and a good fitness (p < 0:001) in all cases was obtained.

Red wines were made from Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon in China at different methods of maceration. The effects of adding seeds during maceration on the quality characteristics, in terms of colour, aroma profile and sensory characteristics, of the wines before bottling were evaluated, and made a comparison with the effects of adding skins. Seed contact treatments raised wine colour intensity, proanthocyanidins, tannins, and polyphenols content in comparison to the control wines. However, as indicated in the sensory evolution, the significant increase in astringency intensity was found in the wines with seed contact. Besides, the bitterness of the red wine also increased in the wines with seed contact, but it was not significantly

Essential to understand the dynamics responsible for the quality of red wines, the objective of revealing the physico-chemical and climatologic relationships that determine the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon wines. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Dom Pedrito, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the agricultural crop of 2016. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design where the treatments corresponded to nine microvinifications arranged in three replicates. The concentration of total polyphenols in Cabernet Sauvignon red wines is associated with anthocyanins, indices of absorbances of 420 and 520, as well as total acidity. However, the tannins are directly proportional to the total acidity of the wine. Environmental conditions with high rainfall, minimum oscillations in thermal amplitude and incident solar radiation tend to increase the hydrogenionic potential and the absorbance indices of 420 (yellow) and 620 (bluish) red wines of Cabernet Sauvignon. The thermal amplitude was preponderant to elevate levels of anthocyanins in Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
