Wine is enjoyed by many worldwide, but there is a lot of hard work that goes into producing your favorite tipple in the vineyard and in the lab. Right from the time the grapes are grown through to the point of purchase, chemical analyses are required to determine and verify a whole host of factors. When should we harvest? How should we blend? Are there any contaminants present? Has the wine been produced in accordance with regulations? Is the wine what it claims to be? These are all important questions for which analytical chemistry can provide answers.
