(Z)-6-Dodeceno-γ-lactone is a potent aroma compound that has been little studied and its prevalence in wines is unknown. An efficient stable isotope dilution assay was developed using a simple, direct immersion solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method suitable for routine use with a low ng/L limit of quantitation. Using this method, 99 out of 104 young white wines analysed were found to contain detectable (Z)-6-dodeceno-γ-lactone. The highest concentrations were found in Riesling and Viognier wines. (Z)-6-Dodeceno-γ-lactone was found to have an aroma detection threshold of 700 ng/L in a neutral white wine. This study established that (Z)-6-dodeceno-γ-lactone is widely present in Australia's most popular white wine varieties, but generally at concentrations below its aroma detection threshold.

Seaweed extracts are promising plant biostimulants for viticulture, but their effects on white winegrape cultivars grown under cool climates remain fairly undocumented. Furthermore, information is limited on the biostimulant potential of some brown seaweed species like Ecklonia maxima. This study evaluated the impact of two commercial extracts (derived from Ascophyllum nodosum and Ecklonia maxima) on Vitis vinifera cv.

White wine lees are known to enhance the oxidative stability of white wine, but the complete set of compounds responsible for this property remain unidentified. Furthermore, due to matrix variability, the studies on the overall composition of lees are not exhaustive. In order to bring new insights, phytochemical constituents of 41 white wine lees samples were characterised, including tartaric acid, lipids, proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, and total sulfhydryl compounds.

The valorization of genetic intravarietal variability through the identification of the most suitable genotypes for yield and must quality is an adequate strategy for grapevine selection. Currently, climate change affects vine yield and wine quality in numerous ways, but little information is available on intravarietal variability regarding responses to abiotic stresses. In the current work, the intravarietal genetic variability of the Portuguese white variety Arinto was studied for yield, must quality, and for tolerance to abiotic stress, through indirect, rapid, and nondestructive measurements in the field.

This study investigates the impact of climate change on key physiological parameters of Greek indigenous grapevine cultivars (Savvatiano, Muscat, Assyrtiko, Mavrodafni, Moschofilero, and Agiorgitiko), using Sauvignon blanc and Merlot as benchmarks. The aim was to identify genotypes with higher photosynthetic dynamics and water use efficiency (WUE) under heat stress and to examine the role of CO enrichment in modulating these responses. Gas exchange measurements showed that short-term exposure to elevated CO (e[CO]) (i.
