Today in the wine industry, oenological tannins are widely used to improve wine quality and prevent oxidation in wine aging. With the development of tannin products, new oenological tannins are developed with many specific functions, such as modifying antioxidant effect, colour stabilization and aroma modifications. The aim of this work is to investigate effects of pre-fermentative addition of oenological tannins on wine colour, anthocyanins, volatile compounds and sensorial properties. In this case, Syrah juice was extracted with classic flash thermovinification from fresh must in order to release more colour and tannins. Three types of oenological tannins, which are, respectively, derived from grape skin, seed () and French oak ( and ), were selected to carry out the experiments with seven treatments. Results indicated that tannin treatments significantly improved wine aroma complexity and sensorial properties. However, the concentration of some stable pigments such as Vitisin A, Vitisin A-Ac and Vitisin B was negatively affected by tannin additions. Nevertheless, by means of cluster analysis and principal component analysis, it was observed that higher alcohols were significantly promoted by grape seed tannin while most anthocyanins can be improved by addition of grape tannins. In conclusion, low amount of oenological tannin derived from grape seed is a promising method to be applied especially for young red wine making.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS), methanethiol (MeSH) and ethanethiol (EtSH) are volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) produced during winemaking and are associated with negative 'reductive' aromas in wine. Anecdotal evidence suggests that oenological tannins may be used to remediate the 'reductive' character of wines, yet little scientific evidence or explanation supporting this observation has been published. In this study, it was found that the addition of oenological tannins significantly decreased HS, MeSH, and EtSH in model wine by up to 92 %, 90 % and 86 %, respectively, after two weeks of storage.

Background: Polyphenols are a group of compounds found in grapes, musts, and wines. Their levels are crucial for grape ripening, proper must fermentation, and final wine characteristics. Standard chemical analysis is commonly used to detect these compounds, but it is costly, time consuming, and requires specialized laboratories and operators.

Twenty oenotannins from different botanical origins were studied in model wine solution (1 g/L, 12% ethanol, pH 3.5). An original device was created for measuring Oxidation-Reduction potential () of the solutions at 20 °C in strict anoxic condition by the electrochemical method of the platinum electrode zero-current potential.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the concept of naturalness in winemaking, focusing on Bordeaux red wines produced without sulfur dioxide (SO) additions.
- Color analysis showed that wines without SO are significantly darker and have a deeper purplish hue compared to those with SO.
- Higher concentrations of specific polymeric pigments associated with darker colors were found in wines without SO, while no differences in polymeric tannins were noted, highlighting varying reactions between tannins and anthocyanins during the winemaking process.
