Browning

Beginner Faults & Defects

定义

Premature color change in wine indicating oxidation.

深入了解

White wines turning deep gold or amber and red wines turning brick or brown suggest oxidative damage. Some browning is natural with age, but rapid browning in young wine indicates a fault — poor SO2 management, cork failure, or heat exposure. The phenolic compounds responsible for color polymerize with oxygen. A browning wine's flavor will also be compromised.
