In this study ‘Debina’ (Zitsa, Ioannina, Greece) wines (WD: white dry and WDS: white dry sparkling) were examined in terms of their quality (chemical, physicochemical and sensory) parameters. The concentration of alcohol in both wines was practically stable (p>0.05) from the stage of fermentation to packaging and specifically, the rates were 12 and 11.4% vol for WD and WDS wines, respectively. Total sugar concentrations were equal to 1.4 g/l and 1.2 g/l in WD and WDS wines, respectively. WD wine had final total acidity, volatile acidity and pH values of 4.9 g/l tartaric acid, 0.19 g/l acetic acid and 3.15, respectively. While, WDS wine had final total acidity, volatile acidity and pH value of 6.0 g/l tartaric acid, 0.15 g/l acetic acid and 3.11, respectively. Τotal sulfite content of wine samples decreased and final values of 90.6 mg/l and 99.8 mg/l, in the last production stage, for the WD and WDS wines, were recorded, respectively. According to the data of the study, all wines received a high acceptability sensory score, as judged by the panellists. It must be reported that the sensory scores were on average, 1 point higher for the WDS wines, as compared to the WD wines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
