Online available information resources on the physics and the chemistry of wine.

The quality and the taste of a wine are mainly dependent on the subjective impression of the wine drinker. If you want to quantify this impression and make them comprehensible, then objective parameters are required. The chemical aspects of a wine offer this one base, both in the cultivation, as well as in the processing and production, from the processing, classification, etc.

Thus, there are some chemical parameters for judging a wine: the pH-value as a measure for the acidity, the contents of sulfur, sugar, malic acid and lactic acid, tartaric acid, gluconic acid, usable nitrogen etc.

But the geographical origin, and further information can be read from the chemistry of wine. With the analysis of wine composition concentrated primarily food chemistry.

In the following list you will find online available information on the physics and the chemistry of wine.
