Abstract
Smoke taint has become a prominent issue for the global wine industry as climate change continues to impact the length and extremity of fire seasons around the world. When grapevines are exposed to smoke, their leaves and fruit can adsorb volatile smoke compounds (for example, volatile phenols such as guaiacol, 4-methylguaiacol, o-, m- and p-cresol, and syringol), which can initially be detected in free (aglycone) forms but are rapidly converted to glycoconjugate forms due to glycosylation. During the fermentation process, these glycoconjugates can be broken down, releasing volatile phenols that contribute undesirable sensory characteristics to the resultant wine (i.e. smokey and ashy attributes). Several methods have been evaluated, both viticultural measures and winemaking techniques, for mitigating and/or remediating the negative effects of grapevine smoke exposure. While there is currently no single method that universally solves the problem of smoke taint, this paper outlines the tools available that can help to minimize the negative impacts of smoke taint (Figure 1).

>>> O aroma a fumo tornou-se um problema proeminente para a indústria global do vinho, uma vez que as alterações climáticas continuam a ter impacto na duração e intensidade das épocas de incêndios em todo o mundo
Entre os métodos de soluções disponíveis comercialmente, a utilização de carvão ativado e a osmose inversa continuam a ser as melhores opções para o aperfeiçoamento dos vinhos contaminados por fumo, embora o sucesso desses métodos tenha sido amplamente restrito a uvas e/ou vinhos que exibem níveis de aroma a fumo moderados a baixos

Summary
>>> O aroma a fumo tornou-se um problema proeminente para a indústria global do vinho, uma vez que as alterações climáticas continuam a ter impacto na duração e intensidade das épocas de incêndios em todo o mundo. Os métodos investigados até agora incluem a lavagem de videiras / uvas, remoção parcial das folhas, a pulverização de produtos e diferentes técnicas de colheita, que, no entanto, têm apresentado pouco sucesso na eliminação dos compostos dos aromas a fumo e/ou na melhoria da perceção sensorial do vinho final.
