“…Several studies on wine transport have proven that temperature fluctuations are the most detrimental factor for wine quality during its shipment, because they can lead to irreversible changes in the chemical and sensory profiles of the product, as well as an acceleration in the aging process (Meyer, 2002;Robinson et al, 2010;Marquez et al, 2012;Lam et al, 2013;Du Toit and Piquet, 2014). Wine bottles have little protection from temperature variations during transport in containers, thus potentially affecting quality (Hartley, 2008).…”

The quality of wine can be affected by several factors after bottling: temperature changes, shipment time, type and amount of mechanical stress (vibrations) and environmental conditions, such as light exposure and relative humidity. The effects of delivery using different packaging systems (boxes, bottles, containers) and the impacts of mode of shipment (car, truck, airplane and cargo ship) are reviewed, along with compositional markers, the reactions leading to off-odours and/or off-flavours and the approaches to monitoring transportation conditions (temperature, relative humidity and type and entity of vibration) and their impacts on the sensory profile of the wine. Temperature fluctuations are more prevalent during the transport of wine over land than by sea, and may lead to a decrease in the fresh, fruity and floral aromas of the wine and to premature aging due to the ‘pump’ effect (repeated expansion and contraction cycles). Trans-shipment phases should be reduced to a minimum, especially in hot climates. Vibrations, even for a short period of time (15 days), can alter the overall quality of the product.

“…But the temperature will obviously fluctuate during the transportation, so the temperature becomes the main environmental parameter that affects the quality of bulk wine during transportation. Scholars' research also shows that the high‐temperature and drastic temperature fluctuations during transportation will lead to changes in the physicochemical properties of wine (Butzke et al., 2012; Comuzzo et al., 2013; du Toit & Piquet, 2014), which finally result in wine quality decline in terms of sensory appearance, aroma, and taste.…”
