Assessing the origin of wine using existing compositional information
Abstract:
The wines used in this study were from Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and South Africa and nine grape varieties were included. The main objectives of the project were to build models to discriminate the wines according to vintage and also according to grape variety. In order to achieve this, all relevant data was collated in a searchable portal which was built as part of the project. A range of modelling methods, including linear and non-linear methods, were compared for sensitivity and specificity. A final objective was to report on how wine testing is performed elsewhere in Europe
