...…(i) the type and style of wine to be made; (ii) the grape variety and viticultural practices; as well as (iii) winemaking techniques and technical requirements of the winery (reviewed in Pretorius 2000, 2003, 2004, de Barros Lopes et al. 2005, Pretorius et al. 2005, Swiegers and Pretorius 2005)....

...It has, therefore, been postulated that the deletion of the MET14 adenosylphosphosulphate kinase gene or the MRX1 methionine sulfoxide reductase gene might be the most effective way to prevent wine yeast from producing hydrogen sulfide (Pretorius and Bauer 2002, Pretorius 2003, 2004)....

...…the β-L-arabinofuranosidase (ABF2) of Aspergillus niger and a glucanase-encoding gene cassette consisting of several glucanase genes (BEG1, END1 and EXG1) were expressed in wine yeast (Pretorius 2000, van Rensburg and Pretorius 2000, Pretorius 2003, Pretorius and Bauer 2002, Pretorius 2004)....

...Strains of S. cerevisiae, as well as those of other species, vary in their tolerance to ethanol stress (Fleet, 1992; Bauer and Pretorius, 2000; Bisson and Block, 2002)....

...The inhibitory effects of ethanol and short chain fatty acids on some microorganisms are well documented (Bisson, 1999; Bauer and Pretorius, 2000; Fleet, 2001)....

...Production of these acids varies significantly with yeast species and strain (Lema et al., 1996; Lambrechts and Pretorius, 2000) and could influence the sequential growth of yeasts during fermentation....

...Species of Dekkera/Brettanomyces are also associated with the production of unpleasant mousy and medicinal taints, because they can form tetrahydropyridines and volatile phenolic substances such as 4-ethylguaiacol and 4- ethyl phenol (Grbin and Henschke, 2000; Du Toit and Pretorius, 2000)....

...…grape prior to harvest and, during fermentation, they metabolise grape sugars and other components into ethanol, carbon dioxide and hundreds of secondary end-products that, collectively, contribute to the subtlety and individuality of wine character (Nykänen, 1986; Lambrechts and Pretorius, 2000)....

...A Review M.G. Larnbrechts and I.S. Pretorius Institute for Wine Biotechnology and Department of Viticulture & Oenology, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag Xl, 7602 Matieland (Stellenbosch), South Africa Submitted for publication: June 2000 Accepted for publication: August 2000 Key words: Wine aroma; wine flavour; fermentation bouquet; wine yeast The most mysterious aspect of wine is the endless variety of flavours that stem from a complex, completely non-lin ear system of interactions among many hundreds of compounds....
