Many of us associate volatile thiols with sauvignon blanc, manseng, riesling or colombard. Fewer of us associate them with red wine. Yet thiol precursors are much more frequent in red varietals than could be expected. […]

Wine bacteria have a more considerable impact on the wine sensory profile than previously thought. New findings have shown that the genetic diversity within the wine bacteria Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is very rich, and that it can have implications on how the wine bacteria perform, especially in terms of revelation of aroma compounds and wine […]
