The fifth session of From Grapes to Wines webinars took place last week with the presentation of Dr. Harrison Wright from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Kentville. He talked about wine grape cold cases: frosts, freezes, bud hardiness and viability, and shared the results of related research done in Nova Scotia. Interesting questions were raised during Q&A session. If you were unable to join us for this session, you can watch it on-demand on YouTube via this link.
We
would like to invite you to the last session on March 25, 2021, at 12:00 pm (AST). In this upcoming session, Rachel
Allison from Cornell University will be presenting ‘Flavour chemistry and
canned wines’ followed by a Q&A session.
Wines
packaged in aluminum cans (“canned wine”) are one of the fastest-growing
segments of the wine industry. However, canned wines are at greater risk for
developing ‘reduced’ aromas due to the formation of H2S (“rotten
egg”). In addition to proposing convenient and inexpensive methods for H2S
analysis suitable for winery use, current work in the Sacks lab looks at the
development and validation of accelerated aging tests to predict corrosion and
H2S formation during long-term storage, using commercial wines and
model systems. Subsequent investigations will further consider the impact of
wine composition on the rate and degree of corrosion and H2S formation.
