Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the application of spectral analysis in alcoholic beverages. As the demand for fast and integrated analysis continues to grow, advancements in spectral analysis present great potential while also meeting green chemistry requirements. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for cutting-edge research and innovation in spectral analysis concerning alcoholic beverages. The primary aims of this Special Issue are as follows:

  • The combination of spectral techniques.
  • The integration of results: assessing more than one parameter or providing a holistic approach in alcoholic beverage assessment.
  • Advancements in data processing and statistical analysis of spectra.
  • Modellization and parameter prediction aspects.
  • Robustness and reliability: emphasizing the importance of robust model development using validation and test datasets.
  • Emerging techniques and trends.

The growing concern regarding the authenticity of wine and wine byproducts, particularly in terms of their origin and grape varieties, is of great importance to both consumers and the wine industry. Verifying the accuracy of information presented on labels is crucial for this sector, as regulatory frameworks strictly govern the veracity of claims made to consumers. This concern has driven the development and application of innovative analytical methods, such as spectroscopic techniques, which utilize different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, including the visible (Vis), ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) regions. This review aims to highlight the importance of understanding a wine’s unique fingerprint. To achieve this, it will explore various analytical methods used to verify the authenticity of consumer information, assess the composition of grapes and wine, and discuss the statistical techniques employed to extract valuable insights from the resulting datasets.
