Cover Story: Grape pathogenesis-related proteins (thaumatin-like proteins and chitinases) are the main cause of white wine protein instability. This overview resumes and discusses the different aspects involved in wine protein instability—namely, grape and wine protein profile characterisation, wine protein instability mechanisms, and stability tests that can be used to predict wine protein instability and to recommend the most appropriate technological approach to remove the unstable proteins. Despite the many technological solutions that have been studied in recent years, it can be concluded that sodium bentonite is presently the most efficient and used treatment to remove unstable proteins from white wines.
