Abstract
Wine quality is a complex, multi - layered conception consisting of numerous factors such as sensory characteristics, chemical composition, legislation, market - consumer, with hygienic - toxicological factor being of special importance due to growing demands for health safe foods. This paper shows the results of studies carried out up till now concerning the mycotoxins in wine (Aflatoxins, Trichothecens, Patulin), with special attention paid to ochratoxin A, most frequently present in grapes, must and wine, and to the influence of certain technological operations and processes during wine making. Due to its high toxicity, the presence of ochratoxin A has been limited to 2 ?g/l by EU EG regulation 123/2005.
