Emerging Trends in the Wine Ageing Process

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on the wine ageing process: a crucial phase during which the wine’s identity is fine-tuned. The aim is to collect original contributions as well as systematic reviews which cover new findings related to the traditional wine ageing process in casks and/or alternative technological solutions, accelerating ageing processes, the impact of wine cellar environments, the bottle ageing process, and unconventional wine ageing processes. We welcome papers that focus on the assessment of physicochemical and wine sensory properties, consumer evaluations, and new methodologies to control the ageing process. Studies on these topics but focusing on distilled drinks are also welcomed.

Accordingly, we hope that this Special Issue will allow authors to share their results and will provide readers with an opportunity to obtain more information concerning the recent findings related to the wine ageing process.
