Low alcohol (6%) wines were manufactured using Campbell Early. To develop the sterilization process of low alcohol wines, red wines were heat sterilized, and rose wines were nonthermal sterilized by concentration using potassium metasulfite and potassium sorbate. Samples were stored at 25℃ and quality characteristics were investigated by period. Results of this study revealed the pH of the samples after sterilization ranged from 3.15 to 3.19, and the total acidity of wines ranged from 0.011 to 0.024%. The free SO₂ contents of wines ranged from 13.00 to 29.678 mg/L, and the total SO₂ contents of wines ranged from 47.50 to 121.00 mg/L. L (lightness) of wines decreased whereas a (redness) and b(yellowness) increased. The hue value of wines ranged from 0.52 to 1.03, and decreased significantly(not including rose sweet wines). The color intensity of red and rose dry wines after sterilization increased, whereas red and rose sweet wines decreased. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of red wines and rose wines ranged between 75.50 to 89.23%, and 36.60 to 56.54%, respectively. The total polyphenol contents were 57.51~182.63 mg%. Results of this study provide scientific information to establish the sterilization process of low alcohol wines.

Three dry red, four sweet red, and two white wines were prepared with domestic grape varieties: Gerbong (G), Campbell Early (C), Muscat Bailey A (M), Seredan (Sd), Seibel (Sb), and Neo-muscat (N). Sample wines were analyzed for titratable acidity, ethanol, pH, sugar content, color intensity and hue, and total phenolic content. Preferences of color, aroma, and overall acceptability were determined by 97 panelists using 9-point hedonic scale. Sweetness, sourness, astringency levels of developed wines were evaluated using 9-point just-about-right (JAR) scale. Mean overall acceptability score of C (6.49) was highest among dry red wines (p<0.05). Among sweet red wines, mean overall acceptability score of Sd (3.27) was significantly lower than those of other wines (p<0.05). In white wines, overall acceptability score of Sb (5.20) was slightly higher than that of N (4.92). Overall sourness levels in dry red wines were higher than optimum level. Based on the results, should be lowered, and sweetness and sourness levels of white wines need to be adjusted sweetness levels of C, G, and Sd for the production of sweer redwines. C and M varieties were considered to be suitable for Korean red wine production.

The physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant capacities of 15 red wines (Cabernet Sauvignon) from the US (5) and Chile (10) were investigated. The contents of soluble solid, reducing sugar, titratable acidity, and $SO_2$ were measured. Antioxidant capacities were examined by DPPH, ORAC assay, and total phenolic contents. In addition, polyphenols composition were analyzed by HPLC. The contents of soluble solid, reducing sugar, and acidities were 7.03~8.6 $^{\circ}Brix$, 2.7~6.7 g/L, and 0.7~0.8%, respectively, and showed no differences between wines from the two countries (p<0.05). The $SO_2$ content of Chile wines was 50% higher than that of US wines (p<0.05). Antioxidant activities by DPPH assay ranged 5.58~9.80 mM and 6.77~9.48 mM in the US and Chile wines, respectively. The ORAC values of the US and Chile wines ranged 2.17~18.08 mM and 4.55~33.77 mM, respectively. The total phenolic content ranged from 1,315 to 2,651 mg/L among the US red wines, and from 1,653 to 2,493 mg/L among Chile red wines. Gallic acid, catechin, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, quercetin, and kaempferol were identified by HPLC. The polyphenol contents of the Chile red wines were higher than those of the US red wines(p<0.05). There were no differences in the physicochemical characteristics and the antioxidant capacities of the wines from US and Chile, but only in their $SO_2$ and polyphenol contents (p<0.05).

The antioxidant activities of aroma extracts from commercially available red wines in Korea were evaluated. The aroma extracts of the red wines were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation. Antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and ABTS (2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation scavenging activity. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the aroma extracts in the red wines increased with increases in the amount of wine used for aroma extraction. Antioxidant activities of domestic wine 1, imported wine 7, and imported wine 12 were 97.16, 96.72 and 94.52%/20 mL wine by DPPH assay and 7.09, 8.07 and 7.28 mg ascorbic acid equivalents per mL wine by ABTS assay, respectively. This study demonstrates potent antioxidant activities of the aroma extracts of commercially available red wines in Korea.

This study was conducted to compare the quality of Korean and imported wine through sensory evaluation and to determined the harmony between wine and foods. The physiochemical characteristics, such as the sugar content, total acidity, pH and color values of Korean and imported wine were also measured. Three white wines made in Korean (WWK), Germany (WWG) and U.S.A (WWU), and three red wines made in Korean (RWK), France (RWF) and Chile (RWC), were used for testing. In the result of sensory evaluation, the white wine made in Germany (WWG) was the most preferred in flavor, taste and overall preference, and the red wine made in France (RWF) was the most preferred in appearance, flavor, taste and overall preference. The overall preference of wine was positively correlated with the total balance in the white wine (r=0.66) and in red wine (r=0.81). In regards to the harmony of wines with foods, the white wine made in Korean (WWK) was suitable for sirloin steak, the WWG for codfish steak and salad and the white wine made in the U.S.A (WWU) for sandwiches. The red wine made in Korean (RWK) was significantly harmonious with salad, the France red wine (RWF) with sirloin steak and in the red wine made in Chile (RWC) with sandwiches. The L and b-values of white wine were the highest in WWG. the L-values of red wine were the highest in RWK, and the a-values of red wine were the highest in RWC and RWF. The WWU was the highest in sugar content among the white wines $10.83^{\circ}$ Brix and the RWC ($8.32^{\circ}$ Brix) was the highest among the red wines. Total acidity was higher in WWU (0.8) and in RWF (0.45) and thy pH values were the highest in WWK (2.82) and RWK (3.35).

Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), a phenolic substance present in both grapes and wines, has been reported to have certain pharmacological effects. Using an ethylacetate-phase extraction followed by a high performance liquid chromatographic analysis, the concentration of trans-resveratrol was measured in 9 red wines commercially available in Korea, including the Korean red wine (Noul). Noul red wine with a 1998 vintage had a trans-resveratrol concentration of 3.3 ㎎/l, which was rather higher than the concentrations found in other wines (0.19-2.45 ㎎/l) with the exception of the French wine, J. P. Chenet (3.39 ㎎/l). In addition, the grapes of Vitis labrusca cv. Sheridan cultivated in the Kyungsan area showed a trans-resveratrol content of 6.4 ㎎/㎏.

This study was conducted to evaluate quality of domestic wines, with a long-tenn goal of improving their quality. We compared the characteristics of 19 domestic and imported red wines. The titratable acidity of imported wines ranged from 0.5-0.6% and that of domestic wines ranged from 0.4-0.8%. The sugar content of domestic wines ranged from 4-10% whereas all imported wines had a sugar content below 1.0%. Red color value and tannin contents were generally high in imported wines and some domestic wines had similar tannin levels. For ratio of total sulfite contents below 10 mg/L, domestic wines were higher with 36.8% than imported wines with 5%. Volatile acid contents were higher in domestic wines than in imported wines, which may be due to contamination of domestic wines by acetic acid bacteria.

The goal of this study was to vinify four varieties of grapes, namely Vitis labrusca L (Gerbong), Vitis labrusca B (Campbell Early), Vitis labrusca (Muscat Bailey A) and Vitis hybrid (Sheridan), and to investigate the changes in the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of the red wines during fermentation and post-fermentation. The ethanol content of the four red wines varied only slightly from 11.4%-12.8%, indicating that no significant change occurred during the fermentation and post-fermentation. The total anthocyanin and phenol contents as bioactive compounds were the highest level in the Vitis labrusca B red wine. The antioxidant activity was also the highest of 88.9% after 10 days fermentation in the Vitis labrusca B red wine and showed from only 36.6% to 61.7% in the other red wines, though the range decreased to 33.1%-64.1% during post-fermentation for 120 days at $4^{\circ}C$. Our results show that the vitis labrusca B red wine has the potential to become a functional red wine because of its high antioxidant activity.

Red wines were prepared with Campbell Early harvested at Youngdong, Chungbuk Province in 1999 of which average sugar content and total acidity(tartaric acid %) were $12^{\circ}Brix$ and 0.7%, respectively. In order to investigate the effect of addition of various sugars on the quality of red wine, sucrose, xylitol, glucose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup(HFCS) and isomaltooligosaccharide(IMO) were added to musts to have $21^{\circ}Brix$ of sugar content. Fermentation of red wine in which glucose was added was faster than any other sugars with the final ethanol content of 12%(v/v). Wines to which sucrose and HFCS were added showed similar fermentation rates to glucose added one but alcohol contents were 10.3%(v/v) and 11.2%(v/v), respectively. Alcohol contents of wines made with xylitol, corn syrup and IMO was relatively low to about 7% (v/v) after fermentation. The pH values of wines were almost unchanged in all treatments during fermentation and the total acidities of wines were decreased from 0.7% to lower than 0.3%. The colors of wines were changed to redder and darker during fermentation. In sensory evaluation xylitol added wine showed the best preference and kept xylitol unfermented in it.

The ability to accurately assess wine quality is important during the wine making process, particularly when allocating batches of wines to styles determined by consumer requirements. Grape payments are often determined by the quality category of the wine that is produced from them. Wine quality, in terms of sensory characteristics, is normally a subjective measure, performed by experienced winemakers, wine competition judges or winetasting panellists. By nature, such assessments can be biased by individual preferences and may be subject to day-to-day variation. Taste and aroma compounds are often present in concentrations below the detection limit of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy but the more abundant organic compounds offer potential for objective quality grading by this technique. Samples were drawn from one of Australia's major wine shows and from BRL Hardy's post-vintage wine quality allocation tastings. The samples were scanned in transmission mode with a FOSS NIR Systems 6500, over the wavelength range 400-2500 ㎚. Data analysis was performed with the Vision chemometrics package. With samples from the allocation tastings, the best correlations between NIR spectra and tasting data were obtained with dry red wines. These calibrations used loadings in the wavelengths related to anthocyanins, ethanol and possibly tannins. Anthocyanins are a group of compounds responsible for colour in red wines - restricting the wavelengths to those relating to anthocyanins produced calibrations of similar accuracy to those using the full wavelength range. This was particularly marked with Merlot, a variety that tends to have relatively lower anthocyanin levels than Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. For dry white wines, calibrations appeared to be more dependent on ethanol characteristics of the spectrum, implying that quality correlated with fruit maturity. The correlations between NIR spectra and sensory data obtained using the wine show samples were less significant in general. This may be related to the fact that within most classes in the show, the samples may span vintages, glowing areas and winemaking styles, even though they may be made from only one grape variety. For dry red wines, the best calibrations were obtained with a class of Pinot Noir - a variety that tends to be produced in limited areas in Australia and would represent the least matrix variation. Good correlations were obtained with a tawny port class - these wines are sweet, fortified wines, that are aged for long periods in wooden barrels. During the ageing process Maillard browning compounds are formed and the water is lost through the barrels in preference to ethanol, producing “concentrated” darkly coloured wines with high alcohol content. These calibrations indicated heaviest loadings in the water regions of the spectrum, suggesting that “concentration” of the wines was important, whilst the visible and alcohol regions of the spectrum also featured as important factors. NIR calibrations based on sensory scores will always be difficult to obtain due to variation between individual winetasters. Nevertheless, these results warrant further investigation and may provide valuable Insight into the main parameters affecting wine quality.
