Ensuring the authenticity of wine: the role of NMR
SHARES
In a recent webinar, Thomas Spengler of Bruker BioSpin along with Elena Meléndez Álvarez and Eva Lopez Rituerto of Estación Enológica de Haro, La Rioja-Spain discussed the role of NMR in assuring authenticity of Spanish Wines.
With the increasing prevalence of economically motivated adulteration and ever-widening trade routes, it is essential that the authenticity and purity of a wine can be verified throughout its entire journey from bottling to customer. This gives peace of mind to both the stakeholders and consumer. However, conventional techniques are no longer sufficient to tackle sophisticated modes of adulteration.
