Abstract

Wine is one of the most consumed beverages around the world. Its unique characteristics arise from numerous processes, from the selection of grapevine varieties and grapes, the effect of the terroir and geographical origin, through the biochemical process of fermentation by microorganisms, until its aging. All molecules found in wine define its chemical fingerprint and can be used to tell the story of its origin, production, authenticity and quality. Wine's chemical composition can be characterized using an untargeted metabolomics approach based on extreme resolution mass spectrometry. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) is currently the most powerful analytical technique to analyse such complex sample, providing the most comprehensive analysis of the chemical fingerprint of wine.
