Researchers at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University Osijek in Croatia have conducted a study on the aroma profile of Merlot red wine stored in stainless-steel tanks and wooden barrels with different toasting methods. The study found that even slight differences in the toasting process influenced the extraction of aroma compounds from the wood to the wine. The changes in aroma compounds depended on the vessel type, toasting level, initial wine composition, and storage time. The study also found that wines stored in wooden barrels had an increase in compounds with smoky, spicy, and woody notes. The research concluded that wines stored in stainless-steel tanks had more pronounced floral, fruity, and herbal aromas, while wines stored in a premium oak barrel with medium toasting obtained the highest sensory ratings after 12 months of storage.

Ontario is making significant changes to its alcohol sales rules, allowing thousands of new locations to sell beer, wine, and ready-to-drink cocktails. This is a major shift for a region that has historically tightly controlled the distribution of alcohol. The changes will benefit companies like Circle K parent Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. and are being hailed as the largest expansion of consumer choice and convenience since the end of prohibition almost 100 years ago. The current system, which involves government-run stores, a beer store monopoly, and a limited number of grocery stores, will be replaced by January 1, 2026. Premier Doug Ford emphasized the need to treat people like adults and bring competition to the sector. The financial impact on Couche-Tard is expected to be modest, but the company welcomes the news.

The aging process can be either inert or oxidative, with grand cru wines requiring a minimum of 30 months in wood. Banyuls Rimage wines are similar to ruby Port, as they are stored in inert vessels for a short time before bottling to preserve the primary fruit flavors. [Extracted from the article]
