A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe and spectrometer capable of investigating full intact wine bottles is described and used to study a series of Cabernet Sauvignons with high resolution 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Selected examples of full bottle 13 C NMR spectra are also provided. The application of this full bottle NMR method to the measurement of acetic acid content, the detection of complex sugars, phenols, and trace elements in wine is discussed.

The 23 Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra for NaCl dissolved in the nematic phase of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC)/dihexanoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DHPC) bicelle solutions at 34°C display line splittings consistent with the quadrupolar satellite transitions for the I ) 3 / 2 23 Na nucleus. At temperatures exceeding 40°C additional residual 23 Na satellite transition lines develop, suggesting that a new ordered phase similar to pure DMPC is present.
