A number of methods are presented for a complete study of the high complex grape and wine chemistry, by analysis of classes of compounds such as organic acids, sugars, hydroxycinnamiltartaric acids, carbonyl compounds, proteins, resveratrol and piceatannol,  polyphenols such as anthocyanins and derivatives, flavonols, flavanols and proanthocyanidins, volatile compounds such as esters, alcohols, phenols, monoterpenes and sulphur compounds, contaminants such as ochratoxin A (OTA), biogenic amines, ethylphenols, chloroanisoles, pesticide residues, elements and inorganic anions.

This volume is intended not only as a guide for research and quality control laboratories, but also as an up-to-date source for students beginning work in the field of oenological analytical chemistry.
