(Thedrinksbusiness) - Scientists have identified more than 20 chemicals that make smoke-tainted wine taste like disinfectant and other unpleasant flavours. The AU$4 million research project aims to limit the damage to the wine industry caused by smoke. Researchers at the Victorian Department of Primary Industries hope that the findings will lead to better timing of controlled burns and the creation of an online tool that will help growers assess the likelihood of their grapes having been damaged by smoke.
