This study investigated the correlation between five primary volatile phenols (VPs) and their glycosides in smoke-exposed and non-smoke-exposed Pinot noir wines to assess and identify potential markers for smoke taint. The results showed that all putative VP-glycosides in smoke-exposed wines were higher than in non-smoke-exposed wines, with a fold change ranging from 2.11 to 31.88 for the top fifteen differentiations. VP-glycosides showed strong positive correlations among themselves, with correlation coefficients of 0.94 for hexose-guaiacol vs. pentose (P)-hexose (H)-cresol and 0.92 for syringyl-β-D-glucopyranoside vs. H-P-4-methylguaiacol. VP-glycosides also showed relatively high correlations with free and strong acid-hydrolyzed VPs. The correlation coefficient between H-P-guaiacol and free-form guaiacol is 0.71, and between H-P-guaiacol and total guaiacol is 0.78. The strong correlation suggests that these compounds are interconnected and regulated by the severity of smoke exposure. Multivariate analysis effectively differentiated smoke-exposed wines from non-smoke-exposed ones. However, more research is needed to fill the gaps in understanding smoke-derived compounds.

Phenotyping is pivotal in biological and agronomical research, enabling the characterization of phenotypic traits in living organisms. Recent advancements have led to the development of innovative platforms that enhance the precision of phenotyping, integrating genetic and ecophysiological analyses for a comprehensive understanding of plant growth under controlled conditions. These technologies are instrumental in studying plant responses to environmental stresses, such as drought, which disrupts water balance in plants.

This study investigated the effects of six cap management protocols targeting contrasting oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) evolutions during alcoholic fermentation of Pinot noir wines. Treatments included twice-daily punch-downs (PD) and pump-overs (PO), 1 h air or N injections (AirMix, NMix), air injections triggered by ORP ≤ -40 mV (RedoxConAir), and equal N injections concurrent to RedoxConAir wines (RedoxConN). AirMix wines maintained ORP values above 0 mV throughout fermentation, showed an oxidatively favored glutathione-to-glutathione disulfide ratio (GSH:GSSG) of 0.

The biochemical composition and quality of grape berries are influenced by environmental factors and exhibit significant variability among cultivars. The objective of this study was to quantify the differential sensitivities of grape cultivars with distinct anthocyanin profiles to elevated temperature and shaded UV-B radiation. Over two consecutive vintages, the clusters of four grape cultivars, including Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Tempranillo, were subjected to coverage with plastic films either shielding 99.

Water stress challenges global crop productivity, particularly for perennial species such as grapevines, where effective water management is crucial for berry quality and yield. Aquaporins, a family of water channel proteins, play a key role in regulating water transport within plant cells, affecting water uptake and redistribution. Although the transcriptional response of aquaporin genes to water stress in grapevines has been documented, their translational regulation remains less explored.
