Sparkling wine production using the traditional method involves a second fermentation of still wines in bottles, followed by prolonged aging on lees. The key factors affecting the organoleptic profiles of these wines are the grape varieties, the chemical and sensory attributes of the base wines elaborated, the yeast strains used for first and second fermentation, and the winery practices. While Chardonnay and Pinot noir are gold standard grape varieties in sparkling wine production, other valuable grape cultivars are used worldwide to elaborate highly reputable sparkling wines. Fundamental research on the chemical and sensory profiles of innovative sparkling wines produced by the traditional method, using non-conventional grape varieties and novel yeast strains for first and/or second fermentation, is accompanying their market diversification. In this review, we summarize relevant aspects of sparkling wine production using the traditional method and non-conventional grape varieties and yeast starters.

The widening gap between wine production and wine consumption, the shift of consumer preferences away from basic commodity wine to top quality wine, and the gruelling competition brought about by economic globalisation call for a total revolution in  the magical world of wine. In the process of transforming the wine industry from a production-driven industry to a market-orientated enterprise, there is an increasing dependence on, amongst others, biotechnological innovation to launch the wine industry with a quantum leap across the formidable market challenges of the 21st century. Market-orientated designer grape cultivars and wine yeast strains are currently being genetically programmed with surgical precision for the cost-competitive production of high quality grapes and wine with relatively minimal resource inputs and a low environmental impact. With regard to Grapevine Biotechnology, this entails the establishment of stress tolerant and disease resistant varieties of Vitis vinifera with increased productivity, efficiency, sustainability and environmental friendliness, especially regarding improved pest and disease control, water use efficiency and grape quality. With regard to Wine Yeast Biotechnology, the emphasis is on the development of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with improved fermentation, processing and biopreservation abilities, and capacities for an increase in the wholesomeness and sensory quality of wine. The successful commercialisation of transgenic grape cultivars and wine yeasts depends on a number of scientific, technical, safety, ethical, legal, economic and marketing factors, and it therefore will be unwise to entertain high expectations in the short term. However, in the light of the phenomenal potential advantages of tailor-made grape varieties and yeast strains, it would be equally self-destructive in the long term if this strategically important “life insurance policy” is not taken out by the wine industry. This overview highlights the most important examples of the way in which V. vinifera grape varieties and S. cerevisiae wine yeast strains are currently being designed with surgical precision on the basis of market demand for the cost-effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly production of healthy, top quality grapes and wine.

Samples from the different processing stages in the elaboration of sparkling wine (cava)—including must, base wine, and sparkling wine—of Pinot Noir and Xarel·lo grape varieties from different vineyard qualities (A, B, C, D) have been analyzed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques to determine their elemental composition. The resulting data has been used to characterize these products according to oenological features and product qualities. For this purpose, box plot diagrams, bar charts, and principal components analysis (PCA) have been used. The study of the behavior of each given species has pointed out the relevance of some elements as markers or descriptors of winemaking processes. Among others, Cu and K are abundant in musts and their concentrations progressively decrease through the cava production process. S levels suddenly increase at the base wine step (and further decay) due to the addition of sulfites as preserving agents. Finally, concentrations of Na, Ca, Fe, and Mg increase from the first fermentation due to the addition of clarifying agents such as bentonite. PCA has been applied to try to extract solid and global conclusions on trends and chemical markers within the groups of samples more easily and efficiently than more conventional approaches.

The aromatic metabolites derived from yeast metabolism determine the characteristics of aroma and taste in wines, so they are considered of great industrial interest. Volatile esters represent the most important group and therefore, their presence is extremely important for the flavor profile of the wine. In this work, we use and compare two Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains: P29, typical of sparkling wines resulting of second fermentation in a closed bottle; G1, a flor yeast responsible for the biological aging of Sherry wines. We aimed to analyze and compare the effect of endogenous CO2 overpressure on esters metabolism with the proteins related in these yeast strains, to understand the yeast fermentation process in sparkling wines. For this purpose, protein identification was carried out using the OFFGEL fractionator and the LTQ Orbitrap, following the detection and quantification of esters with gas chromatograph coupled to flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and stir-bar sorptive extraction, followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SBSE-TD-GC-MS). Six acetate esters, fourteen ethyl esters, and five proteins involved in esters metabolism were identified. Moreover, significant correlations were established between esters and proteins. Both strains showed similar behavior. According to these results, the use of this flor yeast may be proposed for the sparkling wine production and enhance the diversity and the typicity of sparkling wine yeasts.

Two commercial yeast strains with reduced alcohol production in comparison with a commercial yeast strain with common alcohol yield were assed for their suitability in sparkling wine production according to the traditional bottle fermentation. The different yeast strains were applied for the first fermentation. As expected the base wine differed in terms alcohol. Furthermore the yeast with lower alcohol content showed higher values of glycerol, higher arginine content and in the same time reduced levels of proline after fermentation. However those samples showed increased volatile acidity values, compared to the control wines. The later bottle fermentation with a uniform yeast strain showed similar fermentation kinetics for all four lots. Sensory evaluation showed no clear differences between the sparkling wines that were stored 9 months on the lees. The base wines nevertheless clearly differed from each other. Besides the increased production of volatile acidity, the tested yeast strains with lower alcohol production appear very promising for the sparkling wine industry to face the generally rising alcohol contents worldwide.

3 monovarietal wines obtained in two consecutive years in Jidvei Winery Romania were investigated in respect of total polyphenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity before and after blending for sparkling wine obtaining. The three varieties were Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Royal Maiden (Feteasca Regala). Total polyphenols were determined with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, total flavonoid content with sodium nitrite, aluminum chloride and sodium hydroxide and antioxidant activity using Radical Scavenging Activity and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power methods. All mentioned parameters were determined by UV-VIS absorption spectrometry. The determined total polyphenolic content were within the interval 307.21-727.43 mgGAE/l wine for simple varieties and within 405.44-472.74 mgGAE/l for blends and final product (sparkling wine). Total flavonoid content ranged between 16.74 and 242.46 mgQE/l wine in simple varieties and between 38.48 and 80.18 mgQE/l for blends and sparkling wine. Antioxidant activity was correlated with total polyphenols and total flavonoids.

Одним из важных современных направлений виноделия является получение высококачественных вин с узнаваемой сортовой индивидуальностью. В данном аспекте наиболее привлекательными для потребителя являются вина из мускатных сортов винограда. Pабота посвящена изучению влияния штаммов дрожжей рода Saccharomyces на формирование сортового аромата виноматериалов из винограда сорта Цитронный Магарача и отбору перспективных штаммов для их производства. Объектами исследования являлись виноматериалы, приготовленные с использованием 20 штаммов дрожжей вида S. cerevisiae. В результате хроматографического анализа было идентифицировано 17 компонентов, относящихся к различным группам химических соединений: высшим спиртам, сложным эфирам, терпеновым спиртам. Исследуемые штаммы способствовали накоплению в виноматериалах терпеновых спиртов в концентрации от 0,46 до 1,51 мг/л, высших спиртов - от 153,86 до 263,89 мг/л, сложных эфиров - от 3,96 до 19,09 мг/л. По результатам органолептической оценки опытных образцов для производства вин из винограда сорта Цитронный Магарача рекомендованы два коллекционных штамма Алиготе М (I-76) и Мускат 4 (Р) (I-637) из КМВ «Магарач». Использование данных штаммов позволило получить виноматериалы с ярким развитым ароматом цветочно-фруктового направления с проявлением тонов цитрусовых и розы. Отмечено, что штамм Алиготе М (I-76) способствовал обогащению виноматериалов терпеновыми спиртами и сложными эфирами, штамм Мускат 4 (Р) (I-637) - сложными эфирами. One of the important modern trends in winemaking is the production of high quality wines with recognizable varietal identity. In this aspect, the most attractive for consumers are the wines from muscat grape varieties. The work is devoted to the study of the effect of yeast strains of the Saccharomyces genus on the formation of varietal aroma of base wines from grapes of 'Tsitronnyi Magaracha' variety and selection of promising strains for their production. The objects of the study were base wines prepared using 20 strains of S. cerevisiae yeast species. As a result of chromatographic analysis, 17 components of various groups of chemical compounds were identified: higher alcohols, esters, terpene alcohols. The studied strains contributed to the accumulation of terpene alcohols in concentration from 0.46 to 1.51 mg/l, higher alcohols - from 153.86 to 263.89 mg/l, esters - from 3.96 to 19.09 mg/l. According to the results of organoleptic evaluation of experimental samples for wine production from grapes of 'Tsitronnyi Magaracha' variety, two strains 'Aligote M' (I-76) and 'Muscat 4' (P) (I-637) from the Magarach Collection of Microorganisms of Winemaking are recommended. The use of these strains have made it possible to obtain base wines with advanced rich aroma of a floral-fruity direction with demonstration of citrus and rose hues. It was noted that the strain 'Aligote M' (I-76) contributed to the enrichment of base wines with terpene alcohols and esters, the strain 'Muscat 4' (P) (I-637) - with esters.
