Background: Recent statistics from the European Commission indicate that wine is one of the commodities most commonly subject to food fraud. In this context, the development of reliable classification models to differentiate alcoholic beverages requires, besides sensitive analytical tools, the use of the most suitable data-processing methods like those based on advanced statistical tools or artificial intelligence.
Results: The present study aims to establish a new, innovative approach for the differentiation of alcoholic beverages (wines and fruit distillates), which is able to increase the discrimination rate of the models that have been developed. A data dimensionality reduction step was applied to proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( H-NMR) profiles. This stage consisted of the application of fuzzy principal component analysis (FPCA) prior to the development of classification models through discriminant analysis. The enhancement of the model's classification potential by the application of FPCA in comparison with principal component analysis (PCA) was discussed.
Conclusion: The association of H-NMR spectroscopy and an appropriate statistical approach provided a very effective tool for the differentiation of alcoholic beverages. To develop reliable metabolomic approaches for the differentiation of wines and fruit distillates, H-NMR spectroscopic data were exploited in conjunction with fuzzy algorithms to reduce data dimensionality. The study proved the greater efficiency of using FPCA scores in comparison with those obtained through the widely applied PCA. The proposed approach enabled wines to be distinguished perfectly according to their geographical origins, cultivar, and vintage, and this could be used for wine classification. Moreover, 100% correctly classified samples were also achieved for the botanical and geographical differentiation of fruit distillates. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

A lanthanide ion-based metal-organic framework (Eu-TATAB nanorods) was designed and synthesized as an effective tri-mode nanoprobe for sensitive and portable detection of ethanol content in a water-ethanol mixture. The assay was based on the responsive properties of Eu-TATAB nanorods to ethanol stimulus and their adaptive encapsulation capability towards optically active lanthanides. With the addition of ethanol to the Eu-TATAB nanorods, the structure was destroyed, resulting in a decrease in luminescence, electrochemiluminescence, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometric signals by perturbing energy transfer in the Eu-TATAB nanorods.

Fraud in alcoholic beverages through counterfeiting and adulteration is rising, significantly impacting companies economically. This study aimed to develop a method using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (1596-2396 nm) through the bottle, along with machine learning (ML) modeling for beer authentication, quality traits, and control assessment. For this study, 25 commercial beers from different brands, styles, and three types of fermentation were used.

Purpose: In 1996, a multicomponent alcohol prevention intervention was launched and later institutionalized in Stockholm. This study examines the long-term effects of the program on compliance with the legal minimum age limit for alcohol service at licensed premises.
Methods: The intervention comprised community mobilization and collaboration, training, and enforcement aimed at preventing alcohol service to underage (<18 years) or obviously intoxicated patrons.

In this study, a mixed fermentation strategy using grape-blended pear juice co-inoculated with 346 and ES488 was used to characterize the modifications of the flavor and antioxidant activity of Zaosu pear-Merlot grape alcoholic beverage. The optimum fermentation parameters identified using a fuzzy mathematical sensory evaluation model were an initial pH of 4.22, a ratio of 346 and ES488 inoculated 1.
