The organoleptic properties and quahty of wine are influenced by many different factors. The quality of odour and taste depends on the balance of individual constituents. Specific wines are different depending on the vine variety, the ripeness of the grapes, the eventual attack by microorganisms (especially by Botrytis dnerea fungi), conditions during must fermentation (a dominant species of microorganisms are yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae), such as temperature, and other factors. 

Stuck fermentation continues to be a much discussed subject. In some cases, a modification of vine varieties has produced grapes that have high sugar concentrations. These grapes are more difficult to ferment than past varieties. In other cases, winemakers have recently realized that sluggish fermentations spread over several months are not ideal for making wine.

Breeders study the production of vine stocks for years in vineyards. The propagation material is collected from all of the positive stocks. This method is rapid enough, and considerable progress can be made in the selection. Pdl Kozma, Head of the Selection Centre of Vine and Fruit in Budapest, used mass selection for the most important vine varieties in 1957. They became widespread in the whole country (Kozma, 1957). The propagation materials of the selected vine stocks were used for large-scale planting during the Second Five Year Plan.
