Chemical Nature, Origins and Consequences of the Main Organoleptic Defects 

8 Organoleptic defects associated with grapes affected by various types of 

Progress in enology has led to considerable improvements in wine quality and made it possible to bring out the individual character of wine grapes, which is in turn related to the environmental conditions specific to each vineyard. Major defects that were once common have now practically disappeared. 

Winemakers the world over now know how to produce high-quality, healthy, clean wines, whose flavor fully expresses the quality of the grapes.
