Analyses of commercially available wines suggested non-Brettanomyces sources of 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol. Grapes, enological additions, exposure to plastics, and oak-barrel aging were potential inputs considered. Investigations of whole grape bunch samples from two major red wine Vitis vinifera cultivars (L.

Volatile phenols produced by Brettanomyces dekkera have been associate with off-flavors of wines. A versatile liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry together with an HPLC-DAD-fluorescence methods were developed for the quantitation of two phenols, 4-ethylphenol (4EP) and 4-ethylguaiacol (4EG), in red and

Contamination of wine by Dekkera/Brettanomyces bruxellensis is mostly due to the production of off-flavours identified as vinyl- and especially ethyl-phenols, but these yeasts can also produce several other spoiling metabolites, such as acetic acid and biogenic amines. Little information is
