Assessment of Smoke Contamination in Grapevine Berries and Taint in Wines Due to Bushfires Using a Low-Cost E-Nose and an Artificial Intelligence Approach [PDF]
Bushfires are increasing in number and intensity due to climate change. A newly developed low-cost electronic nose (e-nose) was tested on wines made from grapevines exposed to smoke in field trials.

Evaluating the Susceptibility of Different Crops to Smoke Taint
The potential for grapes and wine to be tainted following vineyard exposure to wildfire smoke is well established, with recent studies suggesting hops and apples (and thus beer and cider) can be similarly affected.

Using sensory and instrumental analysis to assess the impact of grape smoke exposure on different red wine varietals in California [PDF]
This study is an investigation of the impact of volatile phenols (VPs) released from burning wood during wildfires on grape composition and the resulting wines. Baseline levels of VPs in grapes and sensory differences between smoke-impacted wines and non-

Changes in Smoke-Taint Volatile-Phenol Glycosides in Wildfire Smoke-Exposed Cabernet Sauvignon Grapes throughout Winemaking [PDF]
When grapes are exposed to wildfire smoke, several smoke-related aroma compounds can be transferred to the berries and become glycosylated. Although the compounds do not contribute to grape aroma in the glycosylated form, the free volatile phenols can be released throughout winemaking and wine aging to produce undesirable “smoke tainted” wines ...

Two decades of "Horse sweat" taint and Brettanomyces yeasts in wine: where do we stand now ? [PDF]
ReviewThe unwanted modification of wine sensory attributes by yeasts of the species Brettanomyces bruxellensis due to the production of volatile phenols is presently the main microbiological threat to red wine quality.
