Featured Review in Wine Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Wine is a complex and captivating matrix, whose quality, sensory properties, and health implications are deeply rooted in its chemical composition. The dynamic interplay of compounds—from polyphenols and volatile aromas to polysaccharides and metals—defines the unique character of each wine. Ongoing research in wine chemistry continues to unveil new insights, driving innovations in viticulture, enology, and quality control.

This Special Issue, "Featured Review in Wine Chemistry", aims to collate high-quality review articles that synthesize current knowledge and highlight emerging trends in the field. We seek contributions that explore advances in analytical techniques, the chemistry of wine stability and spoilage, the evolution of sensory-active compounds during aging, the impact of new winemaking practices, and the role of bioactive components. By bringing together critical overviews from leading experts, this collection will serve as a key reference for researchers and oenologists alike, fostering further scientific and technological progress in wine science.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
