| Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in grapes to standardize the optimum pH and TSS levels for quality wine production. Grape bunches of cultivars Muscat, Bangalore Blue, Sharad Seedless, Thompson Seedless and Tas-A-Ganesh were harvested during March–April 2004 for this study. Results on wine quality parameters revealed that the wine from Muscat was ranked as 'excellent', Bangalore Blue as 'Commercially acceptable', Sharad Seedless as 'Deficient wine', Thompson Seedless as 'Good' and 'Tas-A-Ganesh' as 'Poor and objectionable'. Browning, a problem in white wine was noticed in both the cultivar ‘Thompson Seedless’ and 'Tas-A-Ganesh', but that was controlled in ‘Thompson Seedless’ at pH 3.0 and TSS 22 °Brix but not in ‘Tas-A-Ganesh’. | |
