THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March
1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1325/90 (2), and in particular Article
74 thereof,
Whereas Article 74 (1) of Regulation(EEC) No 822/87 prescribes the
adoption of methods of analysis for establishing the composition of theproducts indicated in Article 1 of that Regulation and of rules forchecking whether these products have been subjected to treatments inviolationof authorized oen ological pratice;
Whereas, inasmuch as the Community has not yet laid down maximum
levels for substances whose presence indicates that certain oenologicalpractices have been used and has not yet adopted tables enablinganalysis data to be compared, there is good reason to authorizeMember States to determine such maximum levels;
Whereas Article 13 (1) of Regulation(EEC) No 822/87 provides for an
analytical test, including at the least an assessment of the characteris-tics, as listed in the Annex to that Regulation, of the quality wine psrinquestion ;
Whereas the verification of the particulars on documents concerning
the products in question calls for the introduction of uniform methodsof analysis to ensure that accurate and comparable information isobtained; whereas, consequently, these methods should be compulsoryfor all commercial transactions and all verification procedures;whereas, however, inview of the trade's limited facilities, a restricted
number of usual procedures should be admitted enabling the requisite
factors to be determined rapidly and with reasonable accuracy;
Whereas, as far as is possible, generally recognized methods such as
those developed under the 1954 International Convention for the Unifi-cation of Methods of Analysis and Appraisal of Wines, which are
published inthe Recueil des méthodes internationales d'analyse des
vins(Compendium of international methods for the analysis of wines)
by the International Office of Vine and Wine, may usefully be retained;
Whereas the Community methods of analysis applicable to wine were
laid downinCommissionRegulation(EEC) No 1108/82 (
3); whereas
scientific progress has made it necessary to replace certain of the
methods by some that are more suitable, to modify others, and to intro-duce new methods, particularly those approved since the aforesaidRegulation by the International Office of Vine and Wine; whereas,because of the profusion and complexity of these changes, all the
analyses should be reassembled in a new Regulation, and Regulation
(EEC) No 1108/82 should be repealed;
Whereas, in order to ensure the comparability of the results obtained by
applying the analytical methods referred to in Article 74 of Regulation(EEC) No 822/87, steps should be takento refer, inregard to the accu-
racy, repeatability and reproducibility of these results, to the definitions
laid down by the International Office of Vine and Wine;
Whereas, in order to recognize the scientific advances on the one hand
and the technical equipment of official laboratories on the other, andwith the aim of increasing the efficiency and profitability of these1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 2

laboratories, there is good reasonto allow automated an alytical
methods to be applied under certain conditions; whereas it is importantto specify that, where a dispute arises, the automated methods may not
replace the reference methods and the usual methods;
Whereas the results of a density measurement using the automated
method based on the principle of the frequency oscillator are, in respectof their accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility, at least as good asthe results obtained by the methods listed in section 1 of the Annex to
the present Regulation for measuring the density or specific gravity;
whereas it is therefore indicated, by virtue of Article 74 (3) of Regula-tion(EEC) No 822/87, that this automated method shall be con sideredas equivalent to the said methods listed in the Annex to the presentRegulation;
Whereas the procedure described in Chapter 25 under point 2.2.3.3.2 in
the Annex hereto for analysing the total sulphur dioxide content of
wines and grape musts of a presumed content of less than 50 mg/lresults inbetter extractionof that substan ce compared to the methodsdescribed in Chapter 13 under point 13.4 of the Annex to Regulation(EEC) No 1108/82; whereas the result is higher total sulphur dioxide
contents of the products analysed, which may exceed, in particular, in
the case of certaingrape juices, the maximum limit laid down ;whereas, inorder to avoid difficulties inthe disposal of grape juicealready prepared at the time of entry into force of this Regulation anduntil such time as the production processes are adapted to result inmore complete de-sulphiting of grape musts with fermentation arrested
by the additionof alcohol, the procedure described inthe abovemen -
tioned Regulation should be allowed to be used during a transitionalperiod;
Whereas the measures provided for inthis Regulationare inaccor-
dance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The Community methods for the analysis of wine making it
possible, in the context of commercial transactions and all controloperations, to:
— establish the compositionof the products listed inArticle 1 of
Regulation(EEC) No 822/87,
— check whether these products have beensubjected to treatmen ts in
violationof authorized oen ological practice,
are those set out in the Annex to this Regulation.2. For substances for which reference methods and usual methods
are prescribed, the results obtained by the use of the reference methods
shall prevail.
Article 2
For the purposes of applying this Regulation:
(a) the repeatability shall be the value below which the absolute differ-
ence between the two single test results obtained on identical testmaterial, under the same conditions (same operator, same appa-ratus, same laboratory and a short interval of time), may be
expected to lie with a specified probability;
(b) the reproducibility shall be the value below which the absolute
difference between two single test results obtained identical test
material, under different conditions (different operators, different
apparatus and/or different laboratories and/or different time), maybe expected to lie with a specified probability.
The term ‘single test result’ shall be the value obtained when the stan-
dardized test method is applied fully and once to a single sample.
Unless otherwise stated, the probability shall be 95 %.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 3

Article 3
1. Automated analytical methods shall be acceptable, under the
responsibility of the Director of a laboratory on condition that the accu-
racy, repeatability and reproducibility of the results are at least
equivalent to those of the results obtained by the analytical methodslisted in the Annex.
Where a dispute arises, the methods listed in the Annex may not be
replaced by automated methods.
2. The automated method for measuring density based on the prin-
ciple of the frequency oscilliator shall be considered as equivalent tothe methods listed in section 1 of the Annex to the present Regulation.
Article 4
Wherever mention is made of water for solution, dilution, or washing
purposes, this shall meandistilled water or demin eralized water of
equivalent purity. All chemicals shall be of analytical reagent quality
except where otherwise specified.

ANNEX
1.DENSITYANDSPECIFICGRAVITYAT20ºC
1. DEFINITIONS
The density is the mass per unit volume of wine or must at 20 ºC. It
is expressed in grams per millilitre and denoted by the symbol ρ
20ºC.
The specific gravity at 20 ºC (or the 20 ºC/20 ºC relative density) is
the ratio, expressed as a decimal number, of the density of a certain
volume of the wine or must at 20 ºC to the density of same volume
water at the same temperature. It is denoted by the symbol d20 ºC20 ºC.
2. PRINCIPLE OF METHODS
The density and specific gravity at 20 ºC are measured on a test
sample:
— either by pigmentary: reference method,
— or by hydrometry or densimetry using a hydrostatic balance:
usual methods.
Note:For very accurate measurement, the density must be corrected for
the effect of sulphur dioxide by using the formula:
ρ
20 ºC=ρ′20 ºC− 0,0006 × S
where ρ20 ºC= corrected density
ρ′20 ºC= observed density
S = total quantity of sulphur dioxide in grams per litre
3. PRELIMINARY TREATMENT OF SAMPLE
If the wine or must contains appreciable quantities of carbon
dioxide, remove most of it by stirring 250 ml of the wine in a 1-litre
flask or by filtrationun der reduced pressure through 2 g of cotton
wool placed inanexten siontube.
4. REFERENCE METHOD4.1.Apparatus:
Normal laboratory equipment, and in particular:
4.1.1. A Pyrex pycnometer (
1), of approximately 100 ml capacity, with a
removable ground-glass jointed thermometer calibrated in tenths of
a degree from 10 to 30 ºC (Figure 1). The thermometer must be
standardized.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 5
(1) Any pycnometer with equivalent characteristics may be used.
▼B
Figure 1
Thepycnometeranditstare
The pycnometer has a side tube 25 mm in length and 1 mm
(maximum) in internal diameter, ending in a conical ground joint.
This side tube may be capped by a ‘reservoir stopper’ consisting of
a conical ground-glass joint tube and terminating in a drawn-out
section. This stopper serves as an expansion chamber.
The two ground joints of the apparatus should be prepared with great
care.
4.1.2. A tare bottle, consisting of a vessel with the same outside volume (to
within at least 1 ml) as the pycnometer and with a mass equal to the
mass of the pycnometer filled with a liquid of specific gravity 1,01
(sodium chloride solution2,0 % m/v).
A thermally insulated container, exactly fitting the body of the pycn-
ometer.
4.1.3. A twin-pan balance with a range of at least 300 g and a sensitivity
of 0,1 mg,
ora single-pan balance with a range of at least 200 g and a sensitivity
of 0,1 mg.
4.2.Calibrationofpycnometer
Calibration of the pycnometer involves a determination of the
following quantities:
— tare of the empty pycnometer,
— volume of the pycnometer at 20 ºC,
— mass of the water-filled pycnometer at 20 ºC.
4.2.1.Methodusingatwin-panbalance
Place the tare bottle on the left-hand pan of the balance and the
clean and dry pycnometer, fitted with its ‘reservoir stopper’, on the
right-hand pan. Add weights to the pan holding the pycnometer and
record the weight required to establish equilibrium: let it be pgrams.
Carefully fill the pycnometer with distilled water at the ambient
temperature and fit the thermometer; carefully wipe the pycnometer
dry and place it in the thermally insulated container. Mix it by
inverting the container until the temperature reading on the thermo-
meter is constant. Accurately adjust the level to the upper rim of the
side tube. Wipe the side tube dry and put the reservoir stopper on;
read the temperature tºC carefully, possibly correcting it for the
inaccuracy in the temperature scale. Weigh the water-filled pycn-
ometer against the tare and record the weight p′ingrams required
to establish equilibrium.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 6

2.EVALUATION BY REFRACTOMETRY OF THE SUGAR CONCEN-
TRATION IN GRAPE MUSTS, CONCENTRATED GRAPE MUSTS
ANDRECTIFIEDCONCENTRATEDGRAPEMUSTS
1. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
The refractive index at 20 ºC, expressed either as an absolute value
or as a percentage by mass of sucrose, is given in the appropriate
table to provide a means of obtaining the sugar concentration in
grams per litre and in grams per kilogram for grape musts, concen-
trated grape musts and rectified concentrated grape musts.
2. APPARATUS2.1.Abbérefractometer
The refractometer used must be fitted with a scale giving:
— either percentage by mass of sucrose to 0,1 %,
— or refractive indices to four decimal places.
The refractometer must be equipped with a thermometer having a
scale extending at least from + 15 ºC to + 25 ºC and with an
arrangement for circulating water enabling measurements to be
made at a temperature of 20 ± 5 ºC.
The operating instructions for this instrument must be strictly
adhered to, particularly with regard to calibrationan d the light
source.
3. PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE3.1.Mustandconcentratedmust
Pass the must, if necessary, through a dry gauze folded into four
and, after discarding the first drops of the filtrate, carry out the
determination on the filtered product.
3.2.Rectifiedconcentrated must
Depending on the concentration, use either the rectified concentrated
must itself or a solution obtained by making up 200 g of rectified
concentrated must to 500 g with water, all weighings being carried
out accurately.
4. PROCEDURE
Bring the sample to a temperature close to 20 ºC. Place a small test
sample onthe lower prism of the refractometer, takin g care (because
the prisms are pressed firmly against each other) that this test sample
covers the glass surface uniformly. Carry out the measurement in
accordance with the operating instructions of the instrument used.
Read off the percentage by mass of sucrose to within 0,1 % or read
the refractive index to four decimal places.
Carry out at least two determinations on the same prepared sample.Note the temperature tºC.
5. CALCULATION5.1.Temperaturecorrection
5.1.1. Instruments graduated in percentage by mass of sucrose: use Table I
to obtainthe temperature correction .
5.1.2. Instruments graduated in refractive index: find the index measured at
tºC in Table II to obtain (column 1) the corresponding value of the
percentage by mass of sucrose at tºC. This value is corrected for
temperature and expressed as a concentration at 20 ºC by means of
Table I.
5.2.Sugarconcentrationinmustandconcentratedmust
Find the percentage by mass of sucrose at 20 ºC in Table II and read
from the same row the sugar concentration in grams per litre and1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 16
▼B
grams per kilogram. The sugar concentration is expressed in terms of
invert sugar to one decimal place.
5.3.Sugarconcentrationinrectified concentratedmust
Find the percentage by mass of sucrose at 20 ºC in Table III and
read from the same row the sugar concentration in grams per litre
and grams per kilogram. The sugar concentration is expressed in
terms of invert sugar to one decimal place.
If the measurement was made on diluted rectified concentrated must,
multiply the result by the dilutionfactor.
5.4.Refractive index of must, concentrated must and rectified
concentratedmust
Find the percentage by mass of sucrose at 20 ºC in Table II and read
from the same row the refractive index at 20 ºC. This index is
expressed to four decimal places.

3.ALCOHOLICSTRENGTHBYVOLUME
1. DEFINITION
The alcoholic strength by volume is the number of litres of ethanol
contained in 100 litres of wine, both volumes being measured at a
temperature of 20 ºC. It is expressed by the symbol ‘% vol’.
Note:Homologues of ethanol, together with the ethanol and ethanol homo-
logues in ethyl esters, are included in the alcoholic strength since
they occur inthe distillate.
2. PRINCIPLE OF METHODS
2.1. Distillation of wine made alkaline by a suspension of calcium hydro-
xide. Measurement of the alcoholic strength of the distillate.
2.2.Referencemethod: measurement of the density of the distillate with
a pycnometer.
2.3.Usualmethods:
2.3.1. Measurement of the alcoholic strength of the distillate with a hydro-
meter.
2.3.2. Measurement of the alcoholic strength of the distillate by densimetry
using a hydrostatic balance.
2.3.3. Measurement of the alcoholic strength of the distillate by refracto-
metry.
Note:
To obtain the alcoholic strength from the density of the distillate, use
Tables I, II and III in Appendix II to this section of the Annex.
These have beencalculated from the International Tables of Alco-
holic Strength published in 1972 by the International Legal
Metrology Organization in its Recommendation 22 and adopted by
the OIV (General Assembly, 1974).
Table I gives the general formula relating the alcoholic strength by
volume and the density of alcohol-water mixtures as a function of
temperature.
3. METHOD OF OBTAINING DISTILLATE3.1.Apparatus
3.1.1. Distillation apparatus, consisting of:
— a round-bottomed 1-litre flask with ground-glass joints,
— a rectifying column about 20 cm in height or any apparatus to
prevent splashing,
— a source of heat; any pyrolysis of extracted matter must be
prevented by a suitable arrangement,
— a condenser terminated by a drawn-out tube taking the distillate
to the bottom of a graduated receiving flask containing several
ml of water.
3.1.2. Steam-distillation apparatus consisting of:
1. a steam-generator;
2. a steam pipe;3. a rectifying column;
4. a condenser.
Any type of distillation or steam-distillation apparatus may be used
provided that it satisfies the following test:
Distil anethan ol-water mixture with analcoholic stren gth of 10 %
vol five times insuccession . The distillate should have analcoholic
strength of at least 9,9 % vol after the fifth distillation, i.e. the loss
of alcohol during each distillation should not be more than 0,02 %
vol.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 36
▼B
3.2.Reagents
3.2.1. A 2 M suspension of calcium hydroxide, obtained by carefully
pouring 1 litre of water at 60 to 70 ºC on to 120 g of quicklime
(CaO).
3.3.Preparationofsample
Remove the bulk of any carbon dioxide from young and sparkling
wines by stirring 250 to 300 ml of the wine in a 500-ml flask.
3.4.Procedure
Measure out 200 ml of the wine using a graduated flask.
Record the temperature of the wine.
Transfer the wine to the distillation flask and introduce the steam-
pipe of the steam-distillationapparatus. Rin se the graduated flask
four times with successive 5-ml washings of water added to the flask
or the steam-pipe. Add 10 ml of (3.2.1) calcium hydroxide and
several pieces of inert porous material (pumice, etc).
Collect the distillate inthe 200-ml graduated flask used to measure
the wine.
Collect a volume of about three-quarters of the initial volume if
distillationis used an d a volume of 198 to 199 ml of distillate if
steam distillationis used. Make up to 200 ml with distilled water,
keeping the distillate at a temperature within 2 ºC of the initial
temperatures.
Mix with great care, using a circular motion.
Note:
In the case of wines containing particularly large concentrations of
ammonium ions, the distillate may be redistilled under the condi-
tions described above, but replacing the suspension of calcium
hydroxide with 1 M sulphuric acid diluted to 10 parts in100 (vol/
vol).
4. REFERENCE METHOD
Measurement of the alcoholic strength of the distillate using a pycn-
ometer.
4.1.Apparatus
4.1.1. Use the standardized pycnometer as described in the chapter
‘Density and specific gravity’ (Annex, chapter 1).
4.2.Procedure
Measure the apparent density of the distillate (3.4) at tºC as
described in the chapter ‘Density and specific gravity’ (Annex,
chapter 1, sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2). Let this density be ρt.
4.3.Expressionofresults
4.3.1. Method of calculation
Find the alcoholic strength at 20 ºC using Table I. In the horizontal
line of this table corresponding to the temperature T(expressed as a
whole number) immediately below tºC,find the smallest density
greater than ρt. Use the tabular difference just below this density to
calculate the density ρat this temperature T.
Onthe lin e of the temperature T, find the density ρimmediately
above ρ′and calculate the difference between the densities ρand
ρ′. Divide this difference by the tabular difference just to the right
of the density ρ′. The quotient gives the decimal part of the alco-
holic strength, while the whole number part of this strength is
shownat the head of the columninwhich the den sity ρ′is located.
Anexample of the calculationof analcoholic stren gth is givenin
Appendix I to this chapter of the Annex.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 37

4.TOTALDRYEXTRACT
Totaldrymatter
1. DEFINITION
The total dry extract or the total dry matter includes all matter which
is non-volatile under specified physical conditions. These physical
conditions must be such that the matter forming the extract under-
goes as little alterationas possible while the test is bein g carried out.
The sugar-free extract is the difference between the total dry extract
and the total sugars.
The reduced extract is the difference between the total dry extract
an d the total sugars inexcess of 1 g/l, potassium sulphate inexcess
of 1 g/l, any mannitol present and any other chemical substances
which may have beenadded to the win e.
The residual extract is the sugar-free extract less the fixed acidity
expressed as tartaric acid.
The extract is expressed ingrams per litre an d it should be deter-
mined to within the nearest 0,5 g.
2. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
Single method: measurement by a densimeter
The total dry extract is calculated indirectly from the specific gravity
of the must and, for wine, from the specific gravity of the alcohol-
free wine.
This dry extract is expressed interms of the quan tity of sucrose
which, when dissolved in water and made up to a volume of one
litre, gives a solutionof the same specific gravity as the must or
the alcohol-free wine. This quantity is shown in Table I.
3. METHOD OF CALCULATION
The 20/20 specific gravity drof the ‘alcohol-free wine’ is calculated
using the following formula:
dr=dv−da+ 1,000
where:
dv= specific gravity of the wine at 20 ºC (corrected for volatile
acidity) (1),
da= specific gravity at 20 ºC of a water-alcohol mixture of the
same alcoholic strength as the wine.
drmay also be calculated from the densities at 20 ºC, ρvof the wine
andρaof the water-alcohol mixture of the same alcoholic strength by
the formula:
dr= 1,0018 ( ρv−ρa) + 1,000
where the coefficient 1,0018 approximates to 1 when ρvis below
1,05, which is most oftenthe case.
4. EXPRESSION OF RESULTS
Table I should be used for calculating the total dry extract in g/l
from the 20/20 specific gravity drof the alcohol-free wine or from
the specific gravity d20º C20º Cof the must.
The total dry extract is expressed ing/l to on e decimal place.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 50
(1) Before carrying out this calculation, the specific gravity (or the density) of the wine
measured as specified above should be corrected for the effect of the volatile acidityusing the formula:d
v=d20º C20º C− 0,0000086 aorρv=ρ20− 0,0000086 a
whereais the volatile acidity expressed inmilliequivalen ts per litre.

5.REDUCINGSUGARS
1. DEFINITION
Reducing sugars comprise all the sugars exhibiting ketonic and alde-
hydic functions and are determined by their reducing action on an
alkaline solution of a copper salt.
2. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHODS2.1.Clarification
2.1.1. Reference method: after neutralization and removal of alcohol, the
wine is passed through an ion exchange column in which its anions
are exchanged for acetate ions, followed by clarification with neutral
lead acetate.
2.1.2. Usual methods: the wine is treated with one of the following
reagents:
2.1.2.1. Neutral lead acetate;
2.1.2.2. Zinc 2-hexacyanoferrate.2.2. Determination
2.2.1. Single method: the clarified wine or must is reacted with a specific
quantity of an alkaline copper salt solution and the excess copper
ions are then determined iodometrically.
3. CLARIFICATION
The sugar content of the liquid in which sugar is to be determined
must lie between0,5 an d 5 g/l.
Dry wines should not be diluted during clarification; sweet wines
should be diluted during clarification in order to bring the sugar
level to withinthe limits prescribed inthe followin g table:

Regeneration of the resin
Pour 150 ml of a 2 M sodium hydroxide solutionthrough the resin
to remove acids and most of the pigments fixed to the resin. Rinse
with 100 ml of water, and then pour 100 ml of 4 M acetic acid solu-
tion through it. Wash the column until the effluent is neutral.
3.1.1.6. Neutral lead acetate solution(approximately saturated)

3.1.2. Procedure
3.1.2.1. Dry wines
Place 50 ml of the wine in a beaker having a diameter of about 10 to
12 cm together with ½ ( n− 0,5) ml of 1 M sodium hydroxide solu-
tion(3.1.1.2) ( nbeing the volume of 0,1 M sodium hydroxide
solution used for determining total acidity in 10 ml of wine), and
evaporate over a boiling water bath in a stream of hot air until the
liquid is reduced to about 20 ml.
Pour this liquid through an anion exchange resin column in acetate
form (3.1.1.5) at a rate of 3 ml every two minutes. Collect the
effluent in a 100 ml volumetric flask. Wash the vessel and column
six times using 10 ml of distilled water each time. Stirring all thetime, add 2,5 ml of saturated lead acetate solution(3.1.1.6) an d
0,5 g of calcium carbonate (3.1.1.7) to the effluent: shake several
times and allow to stand for at least 15 minutes. Make up to the
mark with water. Filter.
1 ml of this filtrate corresponds to 0,5 ml of wine.
3.1.2.2. Musts, mistelles, sweet and semi-sweet wines:
The dilutions below are given for guidance.1.Musts and mistelles: prepare a 10 % solutionof the liquid to be
analysed and take 10 ml of the diluted sample.

7.GLUCOSEANDFRUCTOSE
1. DEFINITION
Glucose and fructose may be determined individually by an enzy-
matic method, with the sole aim of calculating the glucose/fructose
ratio.
2. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
Glucose and fructose are phosphorylated by adenosine triphosphate
(ATP) during an enzymatic reaction catalysed by hexokinase (HK),
and produce glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) and fructose 6-phosphate
(F6P):
glucose + ATP
 G6P + ADP
fructose + ATP
 F6P + ADP
The glucose 6-phosphate is first oxidized to gluconate 6-phosphate
by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) in the
presence of the enzyme glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
(G6PDH). The quantity of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleo-
tide phosphate (NADPH) produced corresponds to that of glucose
6-phosphate and thus to that of glucose.
G6P + NADP+
gluconate 6-phosphate + NADPH +
H+
The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is deter-
mined from its absorption at 340 nm.
At the end of this reaction, the fructose 6-phosphate is converted
into glucose 6-phosphate by the action of phosphoglucose isomerase
(PGI):
F6P
 G6P
The glucose 6-phosphate again reacts with the nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide phosphate to give gluconate 6-phosphate and reduced
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and the latter is then
determined.
3. APPARATUS
— A spectrophotometer enabling measurements to be made at
340 nm, the wavelength at which absorption by NADPH is at a
maximum. Absolute measurements are involved (i.e. calibration
plots are not used but standardization is made using the extinc-
tion coefficient of NADPH), so that the wavelength scales of
and absorbence values obtained from the apparatus must be
checked.
If not available, a spectrophotometer using a source with a
discontinuous spectrum which enables measurements to be
made at 334 nm or at 365 nm may be used.

The deuterium contained in the sugars and the water in grape must
will be redistributed after fermentation in molecules I, II, III and IV
of the wine:
CH2DC H2OH CH3CHD OH
II I
CH3CH2OD HOD
III IV
The addition of exogenous sugar (sugaring in the dry) before the
must ferments will have an effect on the distribution of the
deuterium.
As compared with the figures for parameters for a natural control
wine from the same region, the enrichment of an exogenous sugar
will lead to the following variations:

sities of the signals and then R=3 hII/hI.
(D/H)Imainly characterizes the vegetable species which synthesized
the sugar and to a lesser extent the geographical location of the place
of harvest (type of water used during photosynthesis).
(D/H)IIrepresents the climatology of the place of production of the
grapes (type of rainwater and weather conditions) and to a lesser
extent the sugar concentration of the original must.
(D/H)WQrepresents the climatology of the place of production and
the sugar content of the original must.
2. PRINCIPLE
The parameters defined above ( R,(D/H)I, (D/H)II) are determined by
nuclear magnetic resonance of the deuterium in the ethanol extracted
from the wine or from the fermentation products of the must, the
concentrated must or the rectified concentrated must obtained under
given conditions; they may be supplemented by determining the
isotope ratio of the water extracted from the wine, (D/H)WQand by

circuit, remains constant. Complete distillation lasts approximately
five hours. This procedure enables between 98 and 98,5 % of the
total alcohol inthe win e to be recovered ina distillate with a
strength of between 92 and 93 % mas (95 % vol), a strength for
which the NMR conditions described in section 4 have been estab-
lished.
The ethanol collected is weighed.
A homogeneous 60 ml sample of the residues is kept in a 60 ml
flask and represents the water in the wine. Its isotope ratio may be
determined if required.
Note:
If a spectrometer fitted with a 10 mm probe is available (cf. section
4), a homogeneous test sample of 300 ml of wine is sufficient.
3.1.2.3. Determination of the alcoholic strength of the alcohol

The water content ( p′g) is determined by the Karl Fischer method
using a sample of about 0,5 ml of alcohol of exactly known mass p.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 63

If the isotope ratio of the must is known the yeast can be reactivated
prior to use for 15 minutes in a minimum amount of lukewarm non-
distilled water, so that the isotope ratio is similar to that of the must.
If the isotope ratio of the must is not known it is better to use fresh/
direct.
Fermentation vessel of a capacity of 1,5 litres fitted with a device to
keep it airtight and to condense alcohol vapour, since no loss of
ethanol during fermentation must be tolerated. The rate of conver-
sion of fermentable sugars into ethanol should be greater than 98 %.
3.2.2. Procedure
3.2.2.1. Musts
— Fresh musts
Place one litre of must, whose concentration of fermentable
sugars has been previously determined, in the fermentation
vessel. Add 1 g of dry yeast reactivated beforehand. Insert device
to keep it airtight. Allow fermentation to proceed at around 20 ºCuntil the sugar is used up. After determining the alcoholic
strength of the fermentation product and calculating the rate of
conversion of sugars into alcohol, the fermented liquid is centri-
fuged and distilled to extract the ethanol.
— Musts with fermentation prevented by the addition of sulphur
dioxide
De-sulphite a quantity of must slightly in excess of one litre (i.e.
1,2 litre) by bubbling nitrogen through the must in a water bath
at 70 to 80 ºC under reflux until the total sulphur dioxide content
is less than200 mg/l. Take care to see that the must is n ot
concentrated through evaporation of water by using effective
cooling. Place 1 litre of de-sulphited must in the fermentation
vessel and continue as described for fresh must.
Note:
If potassium metabisulphite is used to sulphite the must, 0,25 ml
of sulphuric acid ( ρ
20= 1,84 g/ml) per gram of metabisulphite
used per litre of must should be added to the must before de-
sulphiting.
3.2.2.2. Concentrated musts
PlaceVml of concentrated must containing a known amount of
sugar (approximately 170 g) into the fermentation vessel. Top up to
one litre with (1 000 − V) ml of water from the normal water supply
of same isotope ratio as natural must samples. Add (3.2.1) dry yeasts
(1 g) and 3 g of DIFCO Bacto Yeast Nitrogen Base without amino
acids. Homogenize and proceed as before.
3.2.2.3. Rectified concentrated musts
Proceed as described in 3.2.2.2, topping up to one litre with (1 000 −
V) ml of water from the normal water supply of same isotope ratio
but also containing 3 g dissolved tartaric acid.
Note:Retain50 ml of sample of must or sulphur dioxide treated must or
concentrated must or rectified concentrated must with a view to the
possible extraction of the water and the determination of its isotope
ratio (D/H)
WQ. The extraction of the water contained in the must may
be very simply carried out by azotropic distillation using toluene.
3.3.PreparationofalcoholsampleforNMRmeasurement

3.4.2. Procedure
Place 3 ml of water obtained as in 3.1.2 or 3.2 (note) into a tared

Note:
If the laboratory has a mass spectrometer for determining isotope
ratios, the measurement may be carried out on this instrument to
reduce the load on the NMR spectrometer. It is necessary to standar-
dize the ratio Trv (5.2) for each series of wines examined.
4. RECORDING OF2H NMR SPECTRA OF THE ALCOHOL AND
THE WATER
Determination of isotope parameters.
4.1.Apparatus
— NMR spectrometer fitted with a specific ‘deuterium’ probe tuned
to the characteristic frequency Voof the field Bo (e.g. for Bo= 7,05 T, Vo= 46,05 MHz and for Bo= 9,4 T, Vo= 61,4 MHz)
having a proton decoupling channel (B2) and field-frequency
stabilization channel (lock) at the fluorine frequency.
The resolutionmeasured onthe spectrum, tran sformed without
exponential multiplication (i.e. LB = 0) (Figure 2b) and
expressed by the half-width of the methyl and methylene signals
of ethanol and the methyl signal of TMU, must be less than0,5 Hz. The sensitivity, measured with an exponential multi-
plying factor LB equal to 2 (Figure 2a) must be greater than or
equal to 150 for the methyl signal of ethanol of alcoholic
strength 95 % vol (93,5 % mas).
Under these conditions, the confidence interval for the measure-
ment of the signal height, calculated for a 97,5 % probability
(one-sided test) and 10 repetitions of the spectrum, is 0,35 %.
— Automatic sample changer (possibly)
— Data-processing software— 15 mm or 10 mm sample tubes according to spectrometer perfor-
mance.
4.2.Standardizationofspectrometer andchecks
4.2.1. Standardization
Carry out customary standardization for homogeneity and sensitivity
according to the manufacturer's specifications.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 66
▼B
4.2.2. Checking the validity of the standardization
Use standard ethanols, designated by the letters C, V and B, having
isotope concentrations that are different but accurately standardized.
They carry the following meaning:
— C: alcohol from cane sugar or maize,
— V: wine spirit,
— B: beet alcohol.
These samples are supplied by the Community Bureau of Refer-
ences.
Following the procedure described in 4.3, determine the isotope
values of these alcohols, denoting them Cmeas,Vmeas,Bmeas(see 5.3).
Compare them with the given corresponding standard values,
denoted by a superscript Cst,Bst,Vst(see 5.3).

Figure 2b
2H spectrum of ethanol taken under the same conditions as those of
Figure 2a, but without exponential multiplication (LB = 0)
The standard deviation for repeatability obtained on an average of 10
repetitions of each spectrum must be less than 0,01 for the ratio R
and less than 0,3 ppm for (D/H)Iand (D/H)II.
The average values obtained for the various isotopic parameters ( R,
(D/H)I, (D/H)II) must be within the corresponding standard deviation
of repeatability givenfor those parameters for the three stan dard1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 67

alcohols by the Community Bureau of References. If they are not,
carry out the checks again.
4.3.ConditionsforobtainingNMRspectra
Place a sample of alcohol prepared as in3.3 (or the water sample,
prepared as in 3.4) in a 15-mm or 10-mm tube and introduce it into
the probe.
The conditions for obtaining NMR spectra are as follows:
— a constant probe temperature (e.g. 302 K);
— acquisitiontime of at least 6,8 s for 1 200 Hz spectral width
(16K memory) (i.e. about 20 ppm at 61,4 MHz or 27 ppm at
46,1 MHz);
— 90º pulse;
— adjustment of acquisition time: its value must be of the same
order as the dwell time;
— parabolic detection: fix the offset 01 between the OD and CHD
reference signals for ethanol and between the HOD and TMU
reference signals for water;
— determine the value of the decoupling offset 02 from the proton
spectrum measured by the decoupling coil on the same tube.
Good decoupling is obtained when 02 is located in the middle
of the frequency interval existing between the CH3-a ndC H2-
groups. Use the wide band decoupling mode.
For each spectrum, carry out a number of accumulations NS suffi-
cient to obtain the signal-to-noise ratio given in 4.1 and repeat this
set of NS accumulations NE = 10 times. The values of NS depend
onthe types of spectrometer an d probe used (cf. section4). Exam-
ples of the possible choices are:
Spectrometer 10 mm probe 15 mm probe
7,05 T NS = 304 NS = 200
9,4 T NS = 200 NS = 128

5.3. For each of the isotope parameters, calculate the average of 10 deter-
minations and the confidence interval.
Optional software (e.g. SNIF-NMR) suitable for the spectrometer
computer enables such calculations to be carried out on-line.
Note:
If, after standardization of the spectrometer, there is a systematic
difference between the average values obtained for the characteristic
isotopes of the standard alcohols (4.2.2) and the values indicated by
the Community Bureau of References, to within the standard devia-
tion, the following corrections may be applied to obtain the true
value for any sample X.
The interpolation will be made by taking the values for the standard
sample which straddle that of the sample X.
Let (D/H)iX

Compare the value RXobtained for the Rratio of the suspect sample
with the ratios obtained for the control wines. If RXdiffers by more

6.1.2. Musts, concentrated musts and rectified concentrated masts
The values of the isotopic parameters for the alcohol extracted as
described in 3.1 from the fermented product obtained (3.2) from
must, concentrated must and rectified concentrated must are exam-
ined according to the instructions given in 6 under ‘Interpretation
of results’ (6.1.1) and compared with the alcohol extracted from the
fermentation product of musts.
The enrichment, E % vol, expresses the volume of alcohol added to
the fermented product. Knowing the dilution that may have been
carried out prior to fermentation (concentrated musts and rectified
concentrated musts), assuming that 16,83 g of sugar yield 1 % vol
of alcohol, calculate the amount of sugar (mass) added per litre of
must, concentrated must or rectified concentrated must.
6.2.Addition of a mixture of beet sugar and cane sugar or maize
glucose
The isotope ratios (D/H)IandRare changed less than when only one
type of sugar is added.
(D/H)IIis higher, as is (D/H)WQ.
These additions may be confirmed by determining the13C/12C ratio
of the ethanol by mass spectrometry; in that case the ratio is higher.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 70

9.ASHCONTENT
1. DEFINITION
The ash content is defined to be all those products remaining after
igniting the residue left from evaporation of the wine. The ignition
is carried out in such a way that all the cations (excluding the
ammonium cation) are converted into carbonates or other anhydrous
inorganic salts.
2. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
The wine extract is ignited at a temperature between 500 and 550 ºC
until complete combustion (oxidation) of organic material has been
achieved.
3. APPARATUS
3.1. boiling water-bath;
3.2. balance sensitive to 0,1 mg;3.3. hot-plate or infra-red evaporator;
3.4. temperature-controlled electric muffle furnace;
3.5. desiccator;3.6. flat-bottomed platinum dish 70 mm in diameter and 25 mm in
height.
4. PROCEDURE
Pipette 20 ml of wine into the previously tared platinum dish
(original weight P
og). Evaporate on the boiling water-bath, and
heat the residue on the hot-plate at 200 ºC or under the infra-red
evaporator until carbonization begins. When no more fumes are
produced, place the dish in the electric muffle furnace maintained
at 525 ± 25 ºC. After 15 minutes of carbonization, remove the dish
from the furnace, add 5 ml of distilled water, evaporate on the
water-bath or under the infra-red evaporator, and again heat the
residue to 525 ºC for 10 minutes.
If combustion (oxidation) of the carbonized particles is not complete,
repeat the operations of washing the carbonized particles, evapora-
tion of water and ignition.
For wines with a high sugar content, it is advantageous to add a few
drops of pure vegetable oil to the extract before the first ashing to
prevent excessive foaming.
After cooling in the desiccator, the dish is weighed ( P1g).
The weight of the ash inthe sample (20 ml) is then P=(P1−Po)g .
5. EXPRESSION OF RESULTS
5.1. Method of calculation
The weight Pof the ash ingrams per litre will be givento two

▼B
10.ALKALINITYOFTHEASH
1. DEFINITION
The alkalinity of the ash is defined as the sum of cations, other than
the ammonium ion, combined with the organic acids in the wine.
2. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
The ash is dissolved in a known (excess) amount of a hot standar-
dized acid solution; the excess is determined by titration using
methyl orange as an indicator.
3. REAGENTS AND APPARATUS
3.1. 0,05 M sulphuric acid solution(H2SO4);
3.2. 0,1 M sodium hydroxide solution(NaOH);
3.3. methyl orange, 0,1 % solution in distilled water;3.4. boiling water-bath.
4. PROCEDURE
Add 10 ml of the 0,05 M sulphuric acid solution(3.1) to the ash
from 20 ml of wine contained in the platinum dish. Place the dish
on the boiling water-bath for about 15 minutes, breaking up and
agitating the residue with a glass rod to speed up the dissolution.
Add two drops of methyl orange solution and titrate the excess
sulphuric acid against 0,1 M sodium hydroxide (3.2) until the colour
of the indicator changes to yellow.
5. EXPRESSION OF RESULTS

11.CHLORIDES
1. PRINCIPLE
Chlorides are determined directly in the wine by potentiometry using
anAg/AgCl electrode.
2. APPARATUS
2.1. pH/mV meter graduated at intervals of at least 2 mV.2.2. Magnetic stirrer.2.3. Ag/AcCl electrode with a saturated solutionof n itrate potassium as
electrolyte.
2.4. Microburette graduated in1/100 ml.
2.5. Chronometer.
3. REAGENTS
3.1. Standard chloride solution: 2,1027 g of potassium chloride, KCl
(max. 0,005 % Br), dried before use by leaving in a desiccator for
several days, are diluted in distilled water and made up to one litre.
1 ml of this solution contains 1 mg Cl
−.
3.2. Silver nitrate titrating solution: 4,7912 g of analytical grade silver
nitrate, AgNO3are diluted ina 10 % (v/v) alcohol solutionan d
made up to one litre. 1 ml of this solution corresponds to 1 mg Cl−.
3.3. Nitric acid, of at least 65 % purity ( ρ20= 1,40 g/ml).
4. PROCEDURE
4.1. 5,0 ml of standard chloride solution are measured into a 150 ml
cylindrical vessel placed on a magnetic stirrer, diluted with distilled
water to approximately 100 ml and acidified with 1,0 ml of nitric
acid (at least 65 %). After immersing the electrode, titrate by adding
the silver nitrate titrating solution with the microburette, with
moderate stirring. Begin by adding 1,00 ml for the first 4 ml and
read the corresponding millivolt values. Add the next 2 ml in frac-
tions of 0,20 ml. Finally, continue the addition in fractions of 1 ml
until a total of 10 ml has been added. After each addition, wait forapproximately 30 seconds before reading the corresponding milli-
volts. Transfer the values thus obtained onto graph paper against
the corresponding millilitres of titrating solution and determine the
potential of the equivalence point on the basis of the singular point
onthe curve obtain ed.
4.2. 5 ml of the standard chloride solution are measured into a 150 ml
cylindrical vessel with 95 ml of distilled water and 1 ml of nitric
acid (at least 65 %). Immerse the electrode and titre, whilst stirring,
until the potential of the equivalence point is obtained. This determi-
nation is repeated until a good degree of agreement in the results is
obtained. This check must be carried out before each series of
measurements of chlorides in the samples.
4.3. 50 ml of wine for analysis are measured into a 150 ml cylindrical
vessel. Add 50 ml of distilled water and 1 ml of nitric acid (at least
65 %) and titrate using the procedure described in 4.2.

6. Note:
For very precise determination.Refer to the complete titration curve obtained during determination
of the test liquid with the silver nitrate solution.
(a) Measure 50 ml of the wine to be analysed into a 150 ml cylind-
rical vessel. Add 50 ml of distilled water and 1 ml of nitric acid
(at least 65 %). Titrate using the silver nitrate solution, adding
0,5 ml at a time and recording the corresponding potential in
millivolts. Derive from this first titrationthe approximate
volume of silver nitrate solution required.
(b) Recommence determination in the same conditions. Begin by
adding 0,5 ml of titrating solution at a time until the volume
added is 1,5 to 2 ml less that the volume determined in (a).
Hereafter add 0,2 ml at a time. Continue to add the solution
beyond the approximately located equivalence point in a
symmetrical manner, i.e. by adding 0,2 ml and then 0,5 ml at a
time.
The end point of the measurement and the exact volume of silver
nitrate consumed are obtained:
— either by drawing the curve and determining the equivalence
point,
— or by the following calculation:

tionat 200 g/l. Stir with a glass stirrer; rin se the stirrer with a little
distilled water and leave to stand for five minutes. Centrifuge for
five minutes, then carefully decant the supernatant liquid.
Next wash the barium sulphate precipitate as follows: add 10 ml of
2 M hydrochloric acid, place the precipitate in suspension and
centrifuge for five minutes, then carefully decant the supernatant
liquid. Repeat the washing procedure twice in the same conditions
using 15 ml distilled water each time.
Quantitatively transfer the precipitate, by rinsing with distilled water,
into a tared platinum capsule and place over a water bath at 100 ºC
until fully evaporated. The dried precipitate is calcined several times
briefly over a flame until a white residue is obtained. Leave to cool

distillationan d titrationof the distillate.
Carbondioxide is first removed from the win e.
The acidity of free and combined sulphur dioxide distilled under
these conditions should be deducted from the acidity of the distillate.
The acidity of any sorbic acid which may have been added to the
wine must also be deducted.
Note:
Part of the salicylic acid used insome coun tries to stabilize the
wines before analysis is present in the distillate. This must be deter-
mined and deducted from the acidity. The method of determination
is giveninsection7 of this chapter.

0,89 milliequivalents or 0,053 g of acetic acid and knowing the
concentration of sorbic acid in mg/l as determined by other methods.
7. DETERMINATION OF SALICYLIC ACID ENTRAINED IN THE

acidification, by the violet colouration that appears when an iron
(III) salt is added.
The determination of the salicylic acid entrained in the distillate with
the volatile acidity is carried out on a second distillate having the
same volume as that onwhich the determin ationof volatile acidity
was carried out. Inthis distillate, the salicylic acid is determin ed by1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 82

Immediately after the determination of the volatile acidity and the
correction for free and combined sulphur dioxide, introduce into a
conical flask 0,5 ml hydrochloric acid (7.2.1), 3 ml of the 0,1 M
sodium thiosulphate solution(7.2.2) an d 1 ml of the iron(III) ammo-
nium sulphate solution (7.2.3).
If salicylic acid is present, a violet coloration appears.
7.3.2. Determination of salicylic acid
On the above conical flask, indicate the volume of the distillate by a
reference mark. Empty and rinse the flask.
Subject a new test sample of 20 ml wine to steam distillation and
collect the distillate in the conical flask up to the reference mark.

introduce distilled water up to the same level as that of the distillate.
Add 0,3 ml pure hydrochloric acid (7.2.1) and 1 ml of the iron (III)
ammonium sulphate solution (7.2.3). From the burette run in the
0,01 M sodium salicylate solution(7.2.4) un til the violet coloration

16.TARTARICACID
1. PRINCIPLE OF METHODS1.1.Reference method
Tartaric acid is precipitated inthe form of calcium (±)tartrate an d
determined gravimetrically. This determination may be completed
by a volumetric procedure for comparison. The conditions for preci-
pitation (pH, total volume used, concentrations of precipitating ions)
are such that precipitationof the calcium (±)tartrate is complete
whereas the calcium D(−) tartrate remains in solution.
Whenmesotartaric acid has beenadded to the win e, which causes
the precipitationof the calcium (±)tartrate to be in complete, it must
first be hydrolysed.
1.2.Usualmethod
The tartaric acid, separated using an ion exchange column, is deter-
mined colorimetrically in the eluate by measurement of the red
colour produced onreactionwith van adic acid. The eluate also
contains lactic and malic acids which do not interfere.

2.1.2.2. Wines to which mesotartaric acid has been added
When analysing wines to which mesotartaric acid has been or is
suspected of having been added, proceed by first hydrolysing this
acid as follows:
Place 10 ml of wine and 0,4 ml of glacial acetic acid (CH3COOH,
ρ20= 1,05 g/ml) into a 50-ml conical flask. Place a reflux condenser
on top of the flask and boil for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and then
transfer the solution in the conical flask to a 600-ml beaker. Rinse
the flask twice using 5 ml of water each time and then continue as
described above.

17.CITRICACID
1. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
Citric acid is converted into oxaloacetate and acetate in a reaction
catalysed by citrate-lyase (CL):
citrate
 oxaloacetate + acetate
In the presence of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and lactate dehy-
drogenase (LDH), the oxaloacetate and its decarboxylation
derivative, pyruvate, are reduced to L-malate and L-lactate by
reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH):
oxaloacetate + NADH + H+
L-malate + NAD+
pyruvate + NADH + H+
L-lactate + NAD+
The amount of NADH oxidized to NAD+inthese reaction s is
proportional to the amount of citrate present. The oxidation of
NADH is measured by the resultant decrease in absorbence at a
wavelength of 340 nm.
2. REAGENTS
2.1. Buffer solutionpH 7,8.
(0,51 M glycylglycine; pH 7,8; Zn2+(0,6 × 10−3M):
dissolve 7,13 g of glycylglycine in approximately 70 ml of doubly
distilled water.
Adjust the pH to 7,8 with approximately 13 ml of 5 M sodium
hydroxide solution, add 10 ml of zinc chloride (ZnCl280 mg in
100 ml H2O) solutionan d make up to 100 ml with doubly distilled
water.
2.2. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) solution
(approximately 6 × 10−3M): dissolve 30 mg NADH and 60 mg
NaHCO3in6 ml of doubly distilled water.
2.3. Malate dehydrogenase/lactate dehydrogenase solution (MDH/LDH,
0,5 mg MDH/ml, 2,5 mg LDH/ml): mix together 0,1 ml MDH
(5 mg MDH/ml), 0,4 ml ammonium sulphate solution (3,2 M and
0,5 ml LDH (5 mg/ml). This suspension remains stable for at least
a year at 4 ºC.
2.4. Citrate-lyase (CL, 5 mg protein/ml): dissolve 168 mg lyophilisate in
1 ml ice-cold water. This solutionremain s stable for at least a week
at 4 ºC and for at least four weeks if frozen.
It is recommended that, prior to the determination, the enzyme
activity should be checked.
2.5. Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP)
Note:All the reagents above are available commercially.
3. APPARATUS
3.1. A spectrophotometer permitting measurement to be made at 340 nm,
the wavelength at which absorption by NADH is at a maximum.
Failing that, a spectrophotometer, with a discontinuous spectrum
source permitting measurements to be made at 334 nm or 365 nm,
may be used.
Since absolute absorbence measurements are involved (i.e. calibra-
tion curves are not used but standardization is made by
consideration of the extinction coefficient of NADH), the wave-
length scales and spectral absorbence of the apparatus must be
checked.
3.2. Glass cells with optical path lengths of 1 cm or single-use cells.
3.3. Micropipettes for pipetting volumes in the range 0,02 to 2 ml.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 88

4. PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE
Citrate determination is normally carried out directly on the wine,
without preliminary removal of pigmentation (colouration) and
without dilution provided that the citric acid content is less than
400 mg/l. If this is not so, dilute the wine until the citrate concentra-
tion lies between 20 and 400 mg/l (i.e. between 5 and 80 µg of
citrate inthe test sample).
With red wines that are rich in phenolic compounds, preliminary
treatment with PVPP is recommended:
Form a suspension of about 0,2 g of PVPP in water and allow to
stand for 15 minutes. Filter using a fluted filter.
Place 10 ml of wine in a 50 ml conical flask, add the moist PVPP
removed from the filter with a spatula. Shake for two to three
minutes. Filter.
5. PROCEDURE
With the spectrophotometer adjusted to a wavelength of 340 nm,
determine the absorbence using the 1 cm cells, using air as the zero
absorbence (reference) standard (no cell in the optical path). Place
the following in the 1 cm cells:

18.LACTICACID
1. PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
Total lactic acid (L-lactate and D-lactate) is oxidized by nicotina-
mide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to pyruvate in a reaction
catalysed by L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) and D-lactate dehy-
drogenase (D-LDH).
The equilibrium of the reaction normally lies more strongly in
favour of the lactate. Removal of the pyruvate from the reaction
mixture displaces the equilibrium towards the formationof pyruvate.
In the presence of L-glutamate, the pyruvate is transformed into L-
alanine in a reaction catalysed by glutamate pyruvate transaminase(GPT):
(1)L-lactate + NAD
+
pyruvate + NADH + H+
(2)D-lactate + NAD+
pyruvate + NADH + H+
(3)Pyruvate + L-glutamate
 L-alanine + α-ketogluta-
rate
The amount of NADH formed, measured by the increase in absorb-
ence at the wavelength of 340 nm, is proportional to the quantity of
lactate originally present.
Note:
L-lactic acid may be determined independently by using reactions
(1) and (3), while D-lactic acid may be similarly determined by
using reactions (2) and (3).
1.2.Usualmethod
The lactic acid, separated by passage through anionexchan ge resin
column, is oxidized to ethanal and determined by colorimetry after
reacting with sodium nitroprusside and piperidine.
2. REFERENCE METHOD
2.1.Reagents
2.1.1. Buffer solution, pH 10 (glycylglycine 0,6 mol/l; L-glutamate 0,1 mol/
l):
dissolve 4,75 g of glycylglycine and 0,88 g of L-glutamic acid in
approximately 50 ml of doubly distilled water; adjust the pH to 10
with a few millilitres of 10 M sodium hydroxide and make up to
60 ml with doubly distilled water.
This solutionwill remainstable for at least 12 weeks at 4 ºC.
2.1.2. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) solution, approximately
40 × 10−3M: dissolve 900 mg of NAD in30 ml of doubly distilled
water. This solutionwill remainstable for at least four weeks at 4 ºC.
2.1.3. Glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) suspension, 20 mg/ml. The
suspension remains stable for at least a year at 4 ºC.
2.1.4. L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) suspension, 5 mg/ml. This suspen-
sionremain s stable for at least a year at 4 ºC.
2.1.5. D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) suspension, 5 mg/ml. This
suspension remains stable for at least a year at 4 ºC.
It is recommended that, prior to the determination, the enzyme
activity should be checked.
Note:
All the reagents are available commercially.
2.2.Apparatus
2.2.1. A spectrophotometer permitting measurements to be made at 340 nm,
the wavelength at which absorption by NADH is at a maximum.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 91
▼B
Failing that, a spectrophotometer with a discontinuous spectrum
source permitting measurements to be made at 334 or 365 nm may
be used.
Since absolute absorbence measurements are involved (i.e. calibra-
tion curves are not used, but standardization is made by
consideration of the extinction coefficient of NADH), the wave-
length scales and spectral absorbence of the apparatus must be
checked.
2.2.2. Glass cells with optical path lengths of 1 cm or single-use cells.
2.2.3. Micropipettes for pipetting sample volumes in the range 0,02 to 2 ml.
2.3.Preparationofthesample
Preliminary note: No part of the glassware that comes into contact
with the reaction mixture should be touched with the fingers, since
this could introduce L-lactic acid and thus give erroneous results.
Lactate determination is normally carried out directly on the wine,
without prior removal of pigmentation (colouration) and without
dilution provided that the lactic acid concentration is less than
100 mg/l. If, however, the lactic acid concentration lies between:
— 100 mg/l and 1 g/l, dilute 1/10 with doubly distilled water,
— 1 g/l and 2,5 g/l, dilute 1/25 with doubly distilled water,
— 2,5 g/l and 5 g/l, dilute 1/50 with doubly distilled water.
2.4.Procedure
2.4.1. Determination of total lactic acid
The buffer solutionmust be at a temperature between20 an d 25 ºC
before proceeding to the measurement.
With the spectrophotometer adjusted to a wavelength of 340 nm,
determine the absorbence using the cells having optical paths of
1 cm, with air as the zero absorbence (reference) standard (no cell
inthe optical path) or with water as the stan dard.

Calculate the differences ( A2−A1) inthe absorben ces of the solu-
tions in the reference and sample cells, ∆ARand∆AS.
Finally, calculate the difference between those differences:
∆A=∆AS−∆AR
2.4.2. Determination of L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid
Determinations of the L-lactic acid or D-lactic acid can be carried
out independently by applying the procedure for total lactic acid up
to the determination of A1and then continuing as follows:
Add 0,02 ml of solution 2.1.4, homogenize, wait until the reaction is
complete (about 20 minutes) and measure the absorbences of the
solutions in the reference and sample cells ( A2).1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 92
▼B
Add 0,05 ml of solution 2.1.5, homogenize, wait until the reaction is
complete (about 30 minutes) and measure the absorbences of the
solutions in the reference and sample cells ( A3).
Calculate the differences ( A2−A1) for L-lactic acid and ( A3−A2) for
D-lactic acid between the absorbences of the solutions in the refer-ence and sample cells, ∆A
Rand∆AS.
Finally, calculate the difference between those differences:
∆A=∆AS−∆AR
Note:
The time needed for the completion of enzyme activity can vary
from one batch to another. The above value is given only for
guidance and it is recommended that it be determined for each
batch. When determining the L-lactic acid alone, the incubation
time may be reduced to 10 minutes.

The equilibrium of the reaction normally lies more strongly in

4. PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE
L-malate determination is normally carried out directly on the wine,
without prior removal of pigmentation (colouration) and without
dilution provided that the L-malic acid concentrationis less than
350 mg/l (measured at 365 mg/l). If this is not so, dilute the wine
with doubly distilled water until the L-malate concentration lies
between 30 and 350 mg/l (i.e. amount of L-malate in the test sample
lies between3 an d 35 µg).1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 95

If the malate concentration in the wine is less than 30 mg/l, the
volume of the test sample may be increased up to 1 ml. In this
case, the volume of water to be added is reduced insuch a way
that the total volumes inthe two cells are equal.

The quantity of NADH formed is proportional to the concentration
of D-malic acid and is measured at a wavelength of 334, 340 or

2. REAGENTS
Test combination for approximately 30 determinations:
(a) Bottle 1 with about 30 ml of solution consisting of Hepes buffer
[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N ′-2-ethanesulfonicacid]pH=9,0
and stabilisers;
(b) Bottle 2 with about 210 mg of NAD lyophilisate;
(c) Three bottles 3 with D-MDH lyophilisate, about 8 U each.
Preparationofthesolutions
1. Use content of bottle 1 undiluted. Before using bring solution to
20 to 25 ºC.
2. Dissolve content of bottle 2 in 4 ml double-distilled water.3. Dissolve content of one of bottles 3 in 0,6 ml double-distilled
water. Before using bring solution to 20 to 25 ºC.
Stabilityofthesolutions
The content of bottle 1 is stable for at least one year if stored
at +4 ºC; solution2 is stable for three weeks if stored at +4 ºC, an d
for two months if stored at − 20 ºC; solution 3 is stable for five days
if stored at +4 ºC.
3. APPARATUS
3.1. A spectrophotometer permitting measurement to be made at 340 nm,
the wavelength at which NADH absorption is at a maximum. Failing
that, a spectrophotometer with a discontinuous spectrum source
permitting measurements to be made at 334 or 365 nm may be
used. Since absolute absorbance measurements are involved (i.e. no
set of calibration solutions but reference to the extinction coefficient
of NADH), the wavelength scales and spectral absorbance of the
apparatus must be checked.
3.2. Glass cuvettes with optical path lengths of 1 cm (if preferred dispo-
sable cuvettes may be used).
3.3. Micropipettes for pipetting volumes in the range 0,01 to 2 ml.
4. PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE
D-malate analysis is normally carried out directly on the wine,
without preliminary decolorisation.
The amount of D-malate in the cuvette should be between 2 and
50µg. The wine therefore must be diluted to yield a D-malate
concentration between 0,02 and 0,5 g/l or 0,02 and 0,3 g/l, respec-
tively (depending on the apparatus used).1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 98

from one batch to another. The above time is given only for

D-malic acid reacts rapidly. The enzyme also transforms L-tartaric
acid, although very much more slowly. This explains the slight side
reaction, which can be corrected by means of extrapolation (see

How to deal with side reactions
Side reactions are generally due to secondary reactions of the enzyme, to the
presence of other enzymes in the sample matrix, or to interaction of one or
more elements of the matrix with a co-factor in the enzymatic reaction.
With a normal reaction, absorbance reaches a constant value after a certain time,
generally 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the speed of the specific enzymatic
reaction. However, when secondary reactions occur, absorbance does not reach
a constant value, but increases regularly with time. This type of process is
commonly called a ‘side reaction’.
Whenside reactionoccurs, the absorban ce of the solutionshould be measured at
regular intervals (every two to five minutes) after the required time for the stan-
dard solution to reach its final absorbance has elapsed. If the absorbance
increases regularly, five or six measurements should be made, and extrapolated
back by means of a graph or of calculation, to determine the absorbance that
would have been observed when the final enzyme was added (T0). The substrate
concentration is calculated on the basis of the difference in absorbance extrapo-
lated at that time (Af − Ai).

21.TOTALMALICACID
1. PRINCIPLE
Malic acid, separated by means of an anion exchange column, is
determined colorimetrically in the eluent by measuring the yellow
colorationit forms with chromotropic acid inthe presen ce of
concentrated sulphuric acid. A correction for interfering substances
is made by subtracting the absorbence, obtained using 86 %
sulphuric and chromotropic acid respectively (malic acid does not
react at these acid concentrations), from the absorbence obtained
from using 96 % strength acids.
2. APPARATUS
2.1. Glass column approximately 250 mm in length and 35 mm internal
diameter, fitted with draintap.
2.2. Glass column approximately 300 mm in length and 10 to 11 mm
internal diameter, fitted with drain tap.
2.3. Thermostatically controlled water bath at 100 ºC.2.4. Spectrophotometer set to measure absorbence at 420 nm using
10 mm cells.
3. REAGENTS
3.1. A strongly basic ion exchange resin (e.g. Merck III).
3.2. Sodium hydroxide 5 % (m/v).3.3. Acetic acid 30 % (m/v).3.4. Acetic acid 0,5 % (m/v).
3.5. Sodium sulphate solution10 % (m/v).
3.6. Concentrated sulphuric acid 95 to 97 % (m/m).3.7. Sulphuric acid 86 % (m/m).3.8. Chromotropic acid 5 % (m/v)
Prepare fresh solution before each determination by dissolving
500 mg sodium chromotropate, (C
10H6Na2O8S2.2H20) in10 ml
distilled water.
3.9. DL-Malic acid solution0,5 g/l.
Dissolve 250 g malic acid (C4H6O5) insodium sulphate solution
(10 %), make up to 500 ml with sodium sulphate solution(10 %)
(3.5).
4. PROCEDURE
4.1.Preparationofionexchangeresin
Place a plug of cottonwool impregn ated with distilled water at the
bottom of the column(35 × 250 mm) above the tap. Pour a suspen -
sion of the anion exchange resin into the glasscolumn. The level of
the liquid should be 50 mm above the top of the resin. Rinse with
1 000 ml of distilled water. Wash the columnwith sodium hydroxide
solution(5 %), allow to drainto within2 to 3 mm of the top of the
resin and repeat with two further washings of sodium hydroxide 5 %
and leave for one hour. Wash the column with 1000 ml of distilled
water. Refill the columnwith acetic (30 %) acid, allow to drainto
within2 to 3 mm from the top of the columnan d repeat with two
further washings of acetic acid (30 %). Leave for at least 24 hours
before use. Keep the ionexchan ge resininacetic acid (30 %) for the
subsequent analyses.
4.2.Preparationofionexchangecolumn
Place a plug of cottonwool at the bottom of the column
(11 × 300 mm) above the tap. Pour inthe suspen sionof ion
exchange resin (prepared in 4.1) to a height of 10 cm. Open the tap
and allow the acetic acid solution (30 %) to drain to within 2 to
3 mm of the top of the resin. Wash with a 50 ml portion of acetic
acid (0,5 %).1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 104
▼B
4.3.SeparationofDL-malicacid
Pour onto the column (prepared in 4.2) 10 ml of wine or must.
Allow to drain one drop at a time (average rate of one drop per
second) and stop the flow 2 to 3 mm from the top of the resin.
Wash the columnwith 50 ml acetic acid (0,5 %) thenwith 50 ml
of distilled water and allow to drain at the same rate as previously,
stopping the flow 2 to 3 mm from the top of the resin.
Elute the acids absorbed onthe exchan ge resinwith a 10 % sodium
sulphate solution(3.5). Collect the eluate ina 100 ml volumetric
flask.
The column can be regenerated using the procedure desribed in
(4.1).
4.4.Determinationofmalicacid
Label two wide necked 30-ml tubes (fitted with ground glass stop-
pers) A and B. Into each tube add 1,0 ml of the eluent (4.3) and
1 ml of chromotropic acid (5 %). Add 10 ml sulphuric acid (86 %)
(reference) to tube A and 10 ml (96 %) sulphuric acid to tube B
(sample). Stopper and shake to homogenize, taking care not to wet
the glass stopper. Immerse the tubes ina boilin g water bath for
exactly 10 minutes. Cool the tubes in the dark at 20 ºC for exactly
90 minutes. Immediately measure the absorbence relative to the
control at 420 nm in a 10 mm cell.
4.5.Plottingthecalibrationcurve
Pipette 5,0, 10,0, 15,0 and 20 ml aliquots respectively into 4 × 50 ml
volumetric flasks. Make up to the mark with sodium sulphate solu-
tion(10 %).
These solutions correspond to eluates obtained from the wine
containing 0,5, 1,0, 1,5 and 2,0 g/l of malic acid.
Continue as in 4.4.
The graph of the absorbences of these solutions is a function of their
malic acid concentration represented as a straight line passing
through the origin.
The intensity of the colour produced depends to a large extent on the
strength of the sulphuric acid used, it is necessary to check the cali-
bration curve with at least one point per series of readings to check
if the concentration of the sulphuric acid has changed.
5. EXPRESSION OF RESULTS
The concentration of the eluent is found using the calibration graph
by extrapolationof the measured absorben ce value to give the corre-
sponding malic acid concentration in g/l. The result is expressed to
one decimal place.
Repeatability:
Contents < 2 g/l: r= 0,1 g/l.
Contents> 2 g/l: r= 0,2 g/l.
Reproducibility:
R= 0,3 g/l.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 105

23.L-ASCORBICACID
1. PRINCIPLE OF METHODS
The methods proposed enable the L-ascorbic acid and dehydroas-
corbic acid present in wines or musts to be determined.
1.1.Reference method(fluorimetry)
The L-ascorbic acid is oxidized onactivated carbonin to dehydroas-
corbic acid. The latter forms a fluorescent compound by reacting
with orthophenylenediamine (OPDA). A control test in the presence
of boric acid enables spurious fluorescence to be determined (by the
formationof a boric acid/dehydroascorbic acid complex) an d the
fluorimetric determination to be deduced.
1.2.Usualmethod(colorimetry)
The L-ascorbic acid is oxidized by iodine to dehydroascorbic acid
which is then precipitated using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to
produce bis (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone). After separation by thin
layer chromatography and dissolution in acetic acid medium the
red-coloured derivative is determined by spectrophotometry at
500 nm.
2. REFERENCE METHOD (fluorimetric method)2.1.Reagents

Just before use, dissolve 50 mg of L-ascorbic acid, C6H8O6,
previously dehydrated ina desiccator protected again st light, in
50 ml of acetic acid solution(2.1.4).
2.1.6. Very pure analytical grade activated carbon (1)
Into a 2-litre conical flask, place 100 g of activated carbon and add
500 ml of 10 % (v/v) hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution( ρ20= 1,19 g/
ml). Bring to the boil, filter using a sintered glass filter of porosity 3.
Collect the carbontreated inthis way ina 2-litre con ical flask, add 1

3. Repeat this operationtwo more times. Place the residue inan
oven controlled to 115 ± 5 ºC for 12 hours (overnight).
2.2.Apparatus

continuous spectrum by using it at minimum power. The optimum
excitation and emission wavelengths for the test will be determined
beforehand and depend on the equipment used. As a guide, the exci-
tation wavelength will be approximately 350 nm and the emission

2.3.Procedure
2.3.1. Preparation of the sample of wine or must
Take a volume of the wine or must and dilute to 100 ml in a grad-
uated flask with the 56 % acetic acid solution(2.1.4) inorder to
obtain a solution with an L-ascorbic acid concentration between 0and 60 mg/litre. Homogenize the contents of the flask by stirring.
Add 2 g of activated carbon (2.1.6) and allow to stand for 15
minutes, stirring occasionally. Filter using ordinary filter paper,
discarding the first few millilitres of filtrate.
Into two 100 ml graduated flasks, introduce 5 ml of the filtrate and,
inthe first, 5 ml of the mixed solutionof boric acid an d sodium
acetate solution (2.1.3) (sample blank) and, in the second, 5 ml of
the sodium acetate solution(2.1.2) (sample). Allow to stan d for 15
minutes, stirring occasionally. Make up to 100 ml with distilled
water.
Take 2 ml from the contents of each flask and add 5 ml of orthophe-
nylenediamine solution (2.1.1), stir; leave the reaction to proceed for
30 minutes until the solution darkens and then make the spectro-
fluorimetric measurements.
2.3.2. Preparation of the calibration curve
Into three 100 ml graduated flask place 2, 4 and 6 ml respectively of
the reference L-ascorbic acid solution (2.1.5), make up to 100 ml
with acetic acid solution (2.1.4) and homogenize by stirring. The
reference solutions prepared in this way contain 2, 4 and 6 mg per
100 ml.
Add 2 g of activated carbon(2.1.6) to each of the flasks an d allow to
stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Filter through ordinary
filter paper, discarding the first few millilitres. Introduce 5 ml of
each filtrate collected into three 100-ml graduated flasks (first
series). Repeat the operation and obtain a second series of three
graduated flasks. To each of the flasks inthe first series (corre-
sponding to the blank test) add 5 ml of the mixed solution of boric
acid and sodium acetate (2.1.5), and to each of the flasks in the
second series add 5 ml of the sodium acetate solution (2.1.2).
Allow to stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make up to
100 ml with distilled water. Take 2 ml of the contents of each flask,
add 5 ml of orthophenylenediamine solution (2.1.1), stir, leave the
reaction to proceed for 30 minutes until the solution darkens and
thenmake the spectrofluorimetric measuremen ts.
2.3.3. Fluorimetric determination
For each solution contributing to the calibration curve and for the
solution to be determined set the zero on the scale of measurementsusing the corresponding control test sample. Then measure the inten-
sity of the fluorescence for each solution over the calibration range
and for the solution to be determined.
Plot the calibration curve, which should be a straight line passing
through the origin. On this line, find the value relative to the deter-
mination and thus deduce the concentration CL-ascorbic acid +
dehydroascorbic acid inthe solutionto be an alysed.

25.SULPHURDIOXIDE
1. DEFINITIONS
Free sulphur dioxide is defined as the sulphur dioxide present in the
must or wine in the following forms: H2SO3, HSO3−
The equilibrium between these forms is a function of pH andtemperature:
H
2SO3
H++ HSO3−
H2SO3represents molecular sulphur dioxide.
Total sulphur dioxide is defined as the total of all the various forms
of sulphur dioxide present in the wine, either in the free state or
combined with its constituents.
2. FREE AND TOTAL SULPHUR DIOXIDE2.1.Principle ofthemethods
2.1.1. Reference method
2.1.1.1. For wines and musts
The sulphur dioxide is carried over by a current of air or nitrogen; it
is fixed and oxidized by being bubbled through a dilute and neutral
hydrogen peroxide solution. The sulphuric acid formed is determined
by titrationwith a stan dard solutionof sodium hydroxide. Free
sulphur dioxide is purged from the wine by entrainment at low
temperature (10 ºC).
Total sulphur dioxide is purged from the wine by entrainment at
high temperature (approximately 100 ºC).
2.1.1.2. For rectified concentrated musts
Total sulphur dioxide is extracted from the previously diluted recti-
fied concentrated must by entrainment at high temperature
(approximately 100 ºC).
2.1.2. Rapid method of determination (for wines and musts)
Free sulphur dioxide is determined by direct iodometric titration.
Combined sulphur dioxide is subsequently determined by iodometric
titrationafter alkalin e hydrolysis. Whenadded to the free sulphur
dioxide, it gives the total sulphur dioxide.
2.2.Reference method
2.2.1. Apparatus
2.2.1.1. The apparatus used should conform to the diagram shown below,
particularly with regard to the condenser.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 114

Thedimensionsgiven are in millimetres. The internal diameters

and10mm.
The gas feed tube to the bubbler B ends in a small sphere of 1 cm
diameter with 20 0,2-mm diameter holes around its largest horizontal
circumference. Alternatively, this tube may end in a frit glass plate
which produces a large number of very small bubbles and thus
ensures good contact between the liquid and gaseous phases.
The gas flow through the apparatus should be approximately 40
litres per hour. The bottle on the right of the diagram is intended to
restrict the pressure reductionproduced by the water pump to 20 to
30 cm of water. To regulate the vacuum to its correct value, a flow-
meter with a semi-capillary tube should be installed between the
bubbler and the bottle.

2.2.3.1. Determination of free sulphur dioxide
The wine must be kept in a full and stoppered bottle at 20 ºC for
two days before the determination.
Place 2 to 3 ml of hydrogenperoxide solution(2.2.2.2) an d two
drops of the indicator reagent in the bubbler B and neutralize the
hydrogenperoxide solutionwith the 0,01 M sodium hydroxide solu-
tion (2.2.2.4). Connect the bubbler to the apparatus.
Introduce 50 ml of the sample and 15 ml of phosphoric acid
(2.2.2.1) into the flask A of the entrainment apparatus. Connect the
flask into the apparatus.
Bubble air (or nitrogen) through it for 15 minutes. The free sulphur
dioxide carried over is oxidized to sulphuric acid. Remove the
bubbler from the apparatus and titrate the acid which has formed
against the 0,01 M sodium hydroxide solution (2.2.2.4). Let nml

2.2.3.3. Determination of total sulphur dioxide2.2.3.3.1. For rectified concentrated musts, use the solution obtained by
diluting the sample to be analysed to 40 % (m/v) as indicated in
the chapter ‘Total acidity’, section5.1.2. In troduce 50 ml of this
solution and 5 ml of phosphoric acid (2.2.2.1) into the 250 ml flask
A of the entrainment apparatus. Connect the flask into the apparatus.
2.2.3.3.2. Wines and musts
If the estimated concentration in the sample is no greater than 50 mg
of total SO

phoric acid (2.2.2.1) in the 250-ml flask A of the entrainment
apparatus. Connect the flask to the apparatus.
However, until ►M331 August 1996 ◄at the latest, to analyse
the sulphur dioxide content of grape juice, 5 ml of a 25 % solution
(m/v) of phosphoric acid (2.2.2.1) shall be used.
If the estimated concentration in the sample is greater than 50 mg of
total SO2per litre, place 20 ml of the sample and 5 ml of phosphoric
acid (2.2.2.1) in the 100 ml flask A of the entrainment apparatus.
Connect the flask to the apparatus.
Place 2 to 3 ml of hydrogenperoxide solution(2.2.2.2) inthe
bubbler B, neutralized as before, and bring the wine in the flask A
to the boil using a small flame of 4 to 5 cm height which should
directly touch the bottom of the flask. Do not put the flask on a
metal plate but ona disc with a hole of approximately 30 mm
diameter in it. This is to avoid overheating substances extracted
from the wine that are deposited on the walls of the flask.
Maintain boiling while passing a current of air (or nitrogen). Within
15 minutes the total sulphur dioxide has been carried over and
oxidized. Determine the sulphuric acid which has formed by titration
with the 0,01 M sodium hydroxide solution(2.2.2.4).

mined using a solid membrane selective electrode. The measured
potential is proportionate to the logarithm of the activity of the
fluoride ions in the medium being analysed, in accordance with the
following equation: (1)
E=Eo± S log aF
WhereE = potential of the ion-selective electrode measured against the
reference electrode in the medium being analysed;
o= standard potential of the sensor;
S = slope of the ion-selective electrode (Nernst factor). At 25 ºC
the theoretical slope is equal to 59,2 mV;
aF= activity of the fluoride ions in the solution being analysed.
2. APPARATUS
2.1. Fluoride-ion-selective crystal membrane electrode.2.2. Reference electrode (calomel or Ag/AgCl).
2.3. Millivoltmeter (pH meter with extended scale in millivolts), accurate
to 0,1 mV.

tionfrom the heat of the motor. Stirrin g vessel covered with plastic
(polythene or equivalent material).
2.5. Plastic beakers with a capacity of 30 or 50 ml, and plastic bottles
(polythene or equivalent material).
2.6. Precisionpipettes (pipettes graduated inmicrolitres or an y other
equivalent pipettes).
3. REAGENTS
3.1. Stock fluoride solutionof 1 g/l.
Use stan dard commercial quality solutionof 1 g/l. This solutioncan
be prepared by dissolving 2,210 g of sodium fluoride (dried for three
to four hours at 105 ºC) indistilled water. Make up to on e litre with
distilled water. The solutionis kept ina plastic bottle.
3.2. Standard fluoride solutions of appropriate concentration are prepared
by diluting the stock solution with distilled water and kept in plastic
bottles. Solutions the fluoride content of which is in mg/l must not
be prepared inadvan ce.
3.3. Buffer solution, pH 5,5
10 g of trans-1,2-dicmiaocyclohexane tetra-acetic acid (CDTA) are
added to water (about 50 ml); add a solution containing 58 g of
sodium chloride and 29,4 g of trisodium citrate in 700 ml of distilled
water. The CDTA is dissolved by adding approximately 6 ml of
32 % (m/v) sodium hydroxide solution.
Lastly, add 57 ml of acetic acid ( ρ
20= 1,05 g/ml) and bring the pH
to 5,5 with 32 % sodium hydroxide solution(about 45 ml). Leave to
cool and make up to one litre with distilled water.
4. PROCEDURE
Preliminary comment:
Care should be taken to ensure that all the solutions remain at a
temperature of 25 ºC (± 1 ºC) during measurement. (A deviation of
more than1 ºC causes a modificationof about 0,2 mV.)
4.1.Directmethod
Place a defined volume of wine in a plastic beaker with an equal
volume of buffer solution.
The solution is stirred in an even and moderate manner. When the
indicator is stable (stability is reached when the potential varies by1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 137
▼B
not more than 0,2 to 0,3 mV/three minutes), read the value of the
potential in mV.
4.2.Theknownadditionsmethod
Stirring continuously, add a known volume of standard fluoride solu-
tion to the analysis medium using a precision pipette. When the
indicator is stable, read the value of the potential in mV.
The concentration of the standard solution to be added is selected as
follows:
(a) double or treble the fluoride concentration in the analysis
medium;
(b) the volume of the analysis medium must remain practically
constant (an increase in volume of 1 % or less).
(Condition (b) simplifies the calculations, see 5.)
The approximate concentration of the analysis medium is read on a
calibration line drawn on a semi-logarithmic scale with the standard
fluoride solutions with titres of 0,1, 0,2, 0,5, 1,0, 2,0 mg/l.
Note:
If the approximate concentration of the analysis medium lies outside
the concentration range of the standard solutions, dilute the sample.
Example:
If the approximate fluoride content of the analysis medium (20 ml
volume) is 0,25 mg/l F−; the concentration must be increased by
0,25 mg/l. To do this, use the appropriate delivery pipette to add,
for example, 0,20 ml (= 1 %) of a standard solution containing
25 mg/l F−or 0,050 ml of a standard solution with 100 mg/l F−.
5. CALCULATIONS
The fluoride content of the analysis medium expressed in mg/l is
obtained by applying the following formula:
CF¼Va/C2Ca
Vo/C21
antilog ∆E=S ðÞ /C0 1
CF= fluoride concentration of the analysis medium (mg/l);
Ca= concentration of fluoride added (mg/l) to analysis medium
(Va);
Vo= initial volume of the analysis medium before overloading
(ml);
Va= volume of the overloaded solution(ml);
∆E= difference between potentials E1andE2obtained in 4.1 and
4.2 (mV);
S= slope of the electrode in the analysis solution.
If Vais very close to Vo(see 4.2), the following simplified formula
is applied:
CF¼Ca/C21
antilog ∆E=S ðÞ /C0 1
The value obtained must be multiplied by the dilution factor arising
from additionof the buffer solution .1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 138

pH of 10 to 11. Titrationis carried out with anacid solutioninthe
presence of carbonic anhydrase. The carbon dioxide content is calcu-
lated from the volume of acid needed to change the pH from 8,6
(bicarbonate form) to 4,0 (carbonic acid). A blank titration is carried
out in the same conditions on decarbonated wine in order to take
account of the volume of sodium hydroxide solution taken up by
the wine acids.
1.1.2. Sparkling and semi-sparkling wines
The sample of wine to be analysed is cooled near to freezing point.
After removal of a quantity to be used as a blank after decarbona-
tion, the remainder of the bottle is made alkaline to fix all the
carbondioxide inthe form of Na2CO3. Titrationis carried out with
an acid solution in the presence of carbonic anhydrase. The carbon
dioxide content is calculated from the volume of acid solution
needed to change the pH from 8,6 (bicarbonate form) to 4,0
(carbonic acid). A blank titration is carried out in the same condi-
tions in decarbonated wine in order to take account of the volume
of sodium hydroxide takenup by the win e acids.

pyridine, potassium cyanide, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid. Dispose
of used products in the proper way, in compliance with environmental rules in
force. Caution with hydrocyanic acid released during the distillation of acidified
wine.)
1. PRINCIPLE
The total free hydrocyanic acid in the wine is released by acid
hydrolysis and separated by distillation. After reacting with chlora-
mine-T and pyridine, the glutaconic dialdehyde formed is
determined by colorimetry on the basis of the blue coloration it
gives with 1,3-dimethyl-barbituric acid.

Put 25 ml wine, 50 ml distilled water, 1 ml phosphoric acid (3.1)
and a few glass beads into the 500-ml flask (2.2). Place flask imme-
diately on the distillation apparatus. Use a tapering tube to conduct
the distillate into a 50-ml calibrated flask containing 10 ml water.
Immerse calibrated flask iniced water. Collect 30 to 35 ml of distil-
late (or aroun d 45 ml liquid intotal) inthe calibrated flask.
Flush the tapering tube of the condenser with a few millilitres of
distilled water, bring distillate to 20 ºC and fill to the calibration
line with distilled water.
4.2.Measurement
Put 25 ml distillate in a 50-ml conical flask with a ground glass
stopper, add 1 ml chloramine-T solution (3.2) and seal with the
stopper. After exactly 60 seconds add 3 ml of 1,3-dimethyl-barbi-
turic acid solution (3.3), seal with stopper and leave for 10 minutes.
Then measure absorbance against a control (25 ml distilled water
instead of 25 ml distillate) at wavelength of 590 nm in cells with
optical paths of 20 mm.

(3.6) until a stable yellowish colouring is obtained.
Taking 1 ml of 0,1 M silver nitrate solution as corresponding to
13,2 mg KCN, calculate the concentration of the KCN sample.
5.2.Standardcurve
5.2.1. Preparation of standard solutions
Having established the concentration of the KCN according to the
procedure set out in 5.1, prepare a standard solution containing
30 ml/l hydrocyanic acid (30 ml HCN /approxorequal72,3 ml KCN). Dilute the
solutionto 1/10.
Introduce 1,0 ml, 2,0 ml, 3,0 ml, 4,0 ml and 5,0 ml of the diluted
sample solution into the 100-ml calibrated flasks and fill to the cali-
bration line with distilled water. The solutions prepared contain 30
µg, 60 µg, 90 µg, 120 µg and 150 µg of hydrocyanic acid per litre
respectively.
5.2.2. Titration
Take 25-ml samples of the solutions thus obtained and continue as
indicated above at 4.1 and 4.2.
The values obtained for absorbance with regard to the standard solu-
tions as a function of the corresponding hydrocyanic acid content
should produce a straight line passing through the origin.

4. PROCEDURE
Put two litres of wine into the distillation flask, introduce a few
millilitres of ethanol (2.1) into the two collecting tubes so that the
porous parts of the gas dispersionrods are completely immersed.
Cool the two tubes externally with the freezing mixture. Connect
the flask to the collecting tubes and begin to flush the apparatus
with nitrogen at a rate of three litres per hour. Heat the wine to
80 ºC with the heating mantle, distil and collect 45 to 50 ml of the
distillate.
Stabilize the chromatograph. It is recommended that the following
conditions are used:
— injector temperature: 200 ºC,
— columntemperature: 130 ºC,— helium carrier gas flow rate: 20 ml per minute.
With the microsyringe, introduce a volume of the standard solution
such that the peak corresponding to the allyl isothiocyanate can
easily be identified on the gas chromatogram.
Similarly introduce an aliquot of the distillate into the chromato-
graph. Check that the retention time of the peak obtained
corresponds with that of the peak of allyl isothiocyanate.
Under the conditions described above, compounds naturally present
in the wine will not produce interfering peaks on the chromatogram
of the sample solution.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 145

40.CHROMATICPROPERTIES
1. WINES AND MUSTS1.1.Definitions
The chromatic properties of a wine are defined as its luminosity and
its chromaticity.
Theluminosity is represented by the transmittance and it varies
inversely with the colour intensity of the wine.
Thechromaticity is represented by the dominant wavelength (which
characterizes the tint) an the purity of the colour.
By convention, and for reasons of convenience, the chromatic prop-
erties of red and rosé wines are given as the colour intensity and the
tint, in keeping with a procedure adopted as the usual method.
1.2.Principle ofthemethods
1.2.1. Reference method
This is a spectrophotometric method which makes it possible to
determine the tristimulus values and three chromaticity coordinates
necessary for the specification of the colour as laid down by the
International Commission on Illumination (CIE).
1.2.2. Usual method (applicable to red and rosé wines)
This is a spectrophotometric method by which the chromatic proper-
ties are expressed by convention as follows:
Thecolour intensity is givenby the sum of the absorben ces at wave-
lengths af 420, 520 and 620 nm for radiation traversing a 1 cm
optical path inthe sample.
Thetintis expressed by the ratio of the absorbences at 420 nm and
520 nm.
1.3.Reference method
1.3.1. Apparatus
1.3.1.1. Spectrophotometer enabling measurements to be made between 300
and 700 nm.
1.3.1.2. Glass cells inpairs, with optical paths, b, equal to 0,1, 0,2, 0,5, 1,2
and 4 cm.
1.3.2. Procedure
1.3.2.1. Preparationof the sample
Cloudy wine must be clarified by centrifugation. The bulk of the
carbon dioxide in young and sparkling wines must be removed by
shaking under vacuum.
1.3.2.2. Measurements
The optical path, b, inthe glass cell should be so chosenthat the
measured absorbence lies between 0,3 and 0,7.
The following guidance is given for the appropriate choice of the
optical path: use cells of 2 (or 4) cm optical path for white wines,
with 1 cm for rosé wines and with 0,1 cm (or 0,2 cm) for red wines.
The spectrophotometric measurements should be made using
distilled water, ina cell with the same optical path, b, as reference
liquid to establish the zero of the absorbence scale at wavelengths
445, 495, 550 and 625 nm.
The four corresponding absorbences for the wine should then be
measured to three decimal places for the optical path, b. Let these
beA
445,A495,A550,A625.
1.3.3. Calculations
Together with Table I, use these values of the absorbences for the
optical path, bcm to obtain the corresponding transmittances ( T%).
Let these be T445,T495,T550andT625.

1.3.4. Expression of results
1.3.4.1. The relative luminosity is given by the value of Yexpressed as a
percentage. (For complete darkness, Y= 0 %; for colourless liquids,
Y= 100 %.)
1.3.4.2. The chromaticity is expressed by the dominant wavelength and the
purity.
The determination of these two quantities makes use of the chroma-
ticity diagram bounded by the spectral locus as given in Figure 1.
The point O plotted in this diagram represents the white light source
used and has the coordinates of a standard source, C, xo= 0,3101
andyo= 0,3163, representing daylight of average brightness.
— Dominant wavelength
Plot the point C with coordinates x,yonthe chromaticity
diagram.
If C is outside the triangle AOB, draw the straight line joining O
to C and extend it to cut the spectral locus at the point S, which
corresponds to the dominant wavelength.
If C is inside the triangle AOB, draw the straight line from C to
O and extend it to intersect the spectral locus at a point corre-
sponding to the wavelength of the colour complementary to that
of the wine. This wavelength is denoted by its value followed by
the letter C.
— Purity
If the point C is outside the triangle AOB, the purity is given as
a percentage by the ratio:
100/C2distance from C to O
distance from O to S
If the point C is inside the triangle AOB, the purity is given as a
percentage by the ratio:
100 ×distance from C to O(1)
distance from O to P
where P is the point where the straight line OC cuts the line of
purples (line AB).
Purity is also givendirectly by chromaticity diagrams from the
known values of xandy(Figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).
1.3.4.3. Results
The colour of a wine is completely defined by its luminosity, its
chromaticity (expressed by the dominant wavelength) and its purity.
These should be indicated in the analysis report with the value of the
optical path inwhich the measuremen ts were made.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 148

of phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40) and phosphomolybdic acid
(H3PMo12O40) which, after oxidationof the phen ols, is reduced to a
mixture of the blue oxides of tungsten (W8O23) and molybdenum
(Mo8O23).
The blue colorationproduced has a maximum absorptioninthe
region of 750 nm, and it is proportional to the total quantity of
phenolic compounds originally present.

43.DETERMINATION OF THE ISOTOPIC RATIO18O/16O OF THE
WATERCONTENTINWINES
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD
1.Methodobjective
The objective of the present method is to measure the isotopic ratio
18O/16O of waters of different origins. The isotopic ratio18O/16O can
be expressed indeviation δ‰ inratio to the value of isotopic ratio
of the international reference V.SMOW:
δiè0½/C138 ¼Ri
RSMOW/C01/C20/C21
/C21000
2.Principle
The isotopic ratio18O/16O is determined by mass spectrometry of
isotopic ratios (MSIR) from ionic currents m/z 46 (12C16O18O) and
m/z 44 (12C16O2) produced by carbondioxide obtain ed after an
exchange with the water in wine according to the reaction:
C16O2+H218O↔C16O18O+H216O
The carbondioxide inthe gaseous phase is used for an alysis.
3.Reagents
— Carbondioxide for an alysis
— SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water)
— GISP (Greenland Ice Sheet Precipitation)
— SLAP (Standard Light Arctic Precipitation)
— Reference water specific to the laboratory carefully standardized
in relation to the reference sample of the International Agency of
Atomic Energy in Vienna (IAEA).
4.Laboratoryequipment
— mass spectrometer of isotopic ratios with an internal repeatability
of 0,05 ‰
— triple collector for simultaneous recording of ions m/z 44, 45 and
46 or, by default, a double collector for measuring ions m/z 44
and 46
— thermostated system (± 0,5 ºC) to carry out the equilibration
betweenCO2and the water content in wine
— vacuum pump able to reach an internal pressure of 0,13 Pa
— phials for samples having 15 ml volume and a capillary annex
tube with anin terior diameter of about 0,015 mm
— Eppendorf pipette with plastic throw-away cone.
5.Experimentaldeterminations
5.1. Manual method
Operational mode of the equilibration method
Introduction of the sample
— Take the Eppendorf pipette at the fixed volume of 1,5 ml, adapt
a cone and pump the liquid to be analysed in order to insert it in
a balloon flask. Then, place silicon grease around the neck of the
balloonflask an d attach the balloonflask to the valve while veri-
fying that it is tightly shut,
— Repeat the operationfor each balloonflask onthe work ramp
while introducing the laboratory's reference water into one of
the balloons.
Degasing of the ramp
The two ramps are cooled down with liquid nitrogen, then the whole
system is purged up to 0,1 mm Hg by opening the valves.
Then, shut the valves off and let it all heat up. The degasing cycle is
repeated until there is no more pressure variation.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 170
▼M4
Equilibrationof the water an d the CO2
Cool the work ramps to − 70 ºC (Liquid nitrogen and alcohol mix)
to freeze the water and put it all in a vacuum. After stabilization of
the vacuum, isolate the ramp by actioning the valve and purge the
CO2introduction system. Insert the gaseous CO2into the work
ramp and, after having isolated it from the rest of the system, intro-
duce the ramp ina thermostated bath at 25 ºC (± 0,5 ºC) for 12
hours (one night). To optimize the necessary time for equilibration,
it is advisable to prepare the samples at the end of the day and let
the balance settle overnight.
Transfer of the CO2exchanged in the measuring cells
A sample holder which supports as many measuring cells as balloon
flasks containing exchanged CO2is adapted on the empty line next
to the work ramp. The empty cells are carefully purged and the
exchanged gases contained in the ballons are transferred one after
the other, into the measuring cells which have been cooled by liquid
nitrogen. Then the measuring cells are allowed to heat up at room
temperature.
5.2. Use of an automatic exchange apparatus
Inorder to carry out the equilibration , sample phials are filled with
either 2 ml of wine or 2 ml of water (laboratory work reference) and
cooled down to − 18 ºC. The sample slides containing the frozen
products are adapted to the equilibration system, and after having
created a vacuum inthe system, carbondioxide is in troduced at a
pressure of 800 hPa.
The balance is reached at a temperature of 22 ± 0,5 ºC after a
minimum period of five hours and with moderate agitation. Since
the equilibrationdurationdepen ds onthe phial's geometry, the
optimum durationshould be determin ed first for the system used.
Carbon dioxide contained in the phials is then transferred to the
introduction chamber of the mass spectrometer by a capillary tube
and the measurement is carried out according to a specific protocol
for each kind of equipment.
6.Calculationandexpressionoftheresults
The relative difference δ′of the ratio intensities of ions m/z 46 and
44 (I46/I44) between the sample and the reference is expressed in ‰
by means of the following equation:
δ0sample ¼I46=I44 ðÞ sample
I46=I44 ðÞ reference/C01/C20/C21
/C21000
The18O content of the sample compared to the reference V.SMOW
onthe V.SMOW/SLAP scale, is givenby the relation :
δ018O¼δ0sample /C0δ0SMOW
δ0SMOW /C0δ0SLAP/C20/C21
/C255;5
The value accepted for SLAP is equal to − 55,5 ‰ compared to
V.SMOW. The isotopic ratio of reference must be determined after
each series of 10 measurements on unknown samples.
7.Fidelity
— the repeatability (r) is equal to 0,24 ‰
— the reproductibility (R) is equal to 0,50 ‰.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 171

(1) For certainparticularly rich win es, a 50 m capillary columnmay be desirable.
(2) For certain particularly rich wines, a temperature programme of 2 ºC/minute may be
desirable.

(e) Propyl carbamate (PC), standard solutions
1. Stock solution— 1,00 mg/ml. Weigh 100 mg PC (reagen t grade) ina
100 ml volumetric flask and dilute with acetone up to the mark.
2. Standard working solution — 10,0 µg/ml. Transfer 1 ml of the stock
PC solution to a 100 ml volumetric flask and dilute with acetone up
to the mark.
3. Internal standard solution PC — 400 ng/ml. Transfer 4 ml of the
standard PC working solution to a 100 ml volumetric flask and dilute
with water up to the mark.
(f) Standard calibrated solutions EC-PC
Dilute EC standard working solution (d)(2) and PC standard working
solution (e)(2), with dichloromethane to obtain:
1. (100 ng EC and 400 ng PC)/ml;
2. (200 ng EC and 400 ng PC)/ml;
3. (400 ng EC and 400 ng PC)/ml;
4. (800 ng EC and 400 ng PC)/ml;
5. (1 600 ng EC and 400 ng PC)/ml.
(g) Test sample — 100 ng EC/ml in 40 % of ethanol
Transfer 1 ml of EC standard working solution (d)(2) to a 100 ml volu-
metric flask and dilute with 40 % of ethanol up to the mark.
(h) Solid phase extractioncolumn— disposable material, pre-packed with
diatomaceous earth, capacity 50 ml
NB:Before analysis, check each batch of extraction columns for the
recovery of EC and PC and the absence of response for ions of 62,74
and 89 m/z. Prepare 100 ng EC/ml of test sample (g). Analyse 5,00 ml
of the test sample as described inD(a), E an d F. The recovery of 90 to
110 ng of EC/ml is satisfactory. Absorbents whose particle diameter is
irregular canlead to a slow flow which affects the recovery of EC an d
PC. If 90 to 110 % of the test sample value is not obtained after several
trials, change the column or use a corrected calibration recovery curve to
quantify EC. To obtain the corrected calibration curve, prepare standard
solutions as described in (f) by using 40 % ethanol instead of dichloro-
methane.
Analyse 1 ml of the standard calibration solution as described in D, E
and F.
Establish a new calibration curve by using the EC/PC ratio of the
extracted standards.
D.Preparationofthetestsample
Place the following volumes of test material in two separate 100 ml beakers:
(a) wines containing over 14 % vol of alcohol: 5,00 ± 0,01 ml;
(b) wines containing maximum 14 % vol of alcohol: 20,00 ± 0,01 ml.
To each beaker, add l ml of internal standard PC solution C(e)(3) and water,
to obtaina total volume of 40 ml (or 40 g).
E.Extraction
Extractionshould be carried out un der anextractor hood, with adequate
ventilation.
Transfer the sample prepared under heading D to the extraction column.
Rinse the beaker with 10 ml of water and transfer the rinsing water to the
column.
Leave the liquid to absorb for four minutes. Elute with 2 × 80 ml of dichlor-
omethane. Collect the eluate in a 300 ml conical flask.
Evaporate the eluate from 2 to 3 ml ina water bath rotary evaporator at
30 ºC. (NB:do not allow to boil dry.)
Transfer the concentrated residue to a 4 ml graduated tube with a Pasteur
pipette.
Rinse the flask with 1 ml of dichloromethane and transfer the rinsing liquid
to the tube. Concentrate the sample to 1 ml under a weak nitrogen stream.
If necessary, transfer the concentrate to auto sampler flask for GC/MS
analysis.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 173
▼M7
F.GC/MSanalysis
(a) Calibrationcurve
Inject 1 µl of each standard calibration solution C(f) into the GC/MS.
Plot the graph of EC-PC area ratio for the m/z 62 ionrespon se onthe
vertical axis and the quantity of EC in ng/ml on the horizontal axis
(100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 ng/ml).
(b) EC quantification
Inject 1 µl of concentrated extract prepared under E into the GC/MS
system and calculate the EC-PC area ratio for the m/z 62 ion. Establish
the concentration of EC (ng/ml) in the extract by using the internal stan-
dard calibration curve. Calculate the EC concentration in the test sample
(ng/ml) by dividing the quantity of EC (ng) in the extract by the test
sample volume (ml).
(c) Confirmation of EC identity
Determine whether the responses for the m/z 62, 74 and 89 ions appear
during the period of EC retention. These responses are features of the
mainfragmen ts (M - C2H2)+and (M - CH3)+and molecular ion (M)+
respectively. The presence of EC is confirmed if the relative ratios ofthese ions are within 20 % of the ratios for an EC standard. The extract
may need to be further concentrated in order to obtain a sufficient
response for the m/z 89 ion.
G.Collaborativeanalysis
The table shows individual results for the practical entrainment sample and
for both types of wine.
The Cochran test led to the elimination of only one pair of results, for wine
of alcoholic strength over 14 % vol and for wine of alcoholic strength of
14 % vol or less, from two different laboratories.
Relative reproducibility (RSD
R) tends to decrease as the concentration of
ethyl carbamate increases.

THE13C/12C RATIO IN WINE ETHANOL OR ETHANOL
OBTAINED BY THE FERMENTATION OF MUSTS, CONCEN-
TRATED MUSTS OR RECTIFIED CONCENTRATED MUSTS
1. FIELD OF APPLICATION
The method enables measurement of the13C/12C isotope ratio inwin e
ethanol and ethanol obtained by fermentation of products of the vine
(musts, concentrated musts, rectified concentrated musts).
2. REFERENCE STANDARDS
ISO: 5725:1994 ‘Accuracy (trueness and precision) of
measurement methods and results: Basic method
for the determination of repeatability and reproduci-
bility of a standard measurement method’.
V-PDB: Vienna-Pee-Dee Belemnite (RPDB= 0,0112372).
Method 8 of the Annex to this Regulation: ‘Detecting enrichment of grape musts, concentrated
grape musts, rectified concentrated grape musts and
wines by application of nuclear magnetic resonance
of deuterium (SNIF-NMR).’
3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
13C/12C: ratio of carbon13 (13C) to carbon12 (12C) isotopes for a
givensample.
δ13C: carbon 13 content (13C) expressed inparts per 1 000 (‰).
SNIF-NMR: fractionating the particular natural isotope under study by
nuclear magnetic resonance.
V-PDB: Vienna-Pee-Dee Belemnite. PDB is the primary reference
material for measuring natural variations of carbon 13
isotope content, consisting of calcium carbonate from a
Cretaceous belemnite guard from the Pee Dee Formation
inSouth Carolin a (USA). Its13C/12C isotope ratio or RPDBis 0,0112372. PDB reserves have beenexhausted for along time, but it has remained the primary reference for
expressing natural variations of carbon 13 isotope content
and against which the reference material available at the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna
(Austria) is calibrated. Isotopic indications of naturally
occurring carbon 13 are conventionally expressed in rela-
tionto V-PDB.
m/z: mass-to-charge ratio.
4. PRINCIPLE
During photosynthesis, the assimilation of carbon dioxide by plants
occurs via two principle forms of metabolism, the C
3metabolism (Calvin
cycle) and the C4metabolism (Hatch and Slack). These two photosynth-
esis mechanisms present a different type of isotope fractionation.
Products of C4plants, such as sugars and alcohol derived from fermenta-
tion, have higher levels of carbon 13 than similar products of C3plants.
Most plants, including vines and sugar beets, belong to the C3group.
Sugar cane and maize belong to the C4group. Measuring the carbon 13
content enables the detection and evaluation of sugars of C4origin(sugar
cane or maize isoglucose) added to grape products (grape musts, wines,
etc.). The information on carbon 13 content combined with that obtained
from SNIF-NMR enables the added quantities of mixtures of sugars or
alcohols derived from C3and C4plants to be determined.
The carbon 13 content is determined on carbon dioxide produced during
the complete combustion of the sample. The abundance of the principle
isotopomers of masses 44 (12C16O2), 45 (13C16O2and12C17O16O) and 46
(12C16O18O), resulting from the different possible combinations of isotopes
18O,17O,16O,13Ca nd12C, are determined from the ionic currents
measured by three different collectors of a mass isotopic spectrometer.
The contributions of isotopomers13C17O16Oa nd12C17O2may be disre-
garded given their low levels. The ionic current for m/z = 45 is
corrected for the contribution of12C17O16O, which is calculated according
to the current intensity measured for m/z = 46, while taking the relative
abundance of18Oa nd17O into account (Craig correction). Comparison
with a reference calibrated against the international reference V-PDB
permits calculation of carbon 13 content on the δ13C relative scale.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 175

5. REAGENTS
The material and the consumables depend on the apparatus (point 6) used
by the laboratory. The systems generally used are based on elemental
analysers. These systems can be equipped to allow the introduction of
samples placed insealed metal capsules or the in jectionof liquid samples
through a septum using a syringe.
Depending on the type of instrument used, the following reference mate-
rials, reagents, and consumables may be used:
— reference materials
— available from the IAEA:

— the following is an indicative list of consumables for continuous-flow
systems:
— helium for analysis (CAS 07440-59-7),
— oxygenfor an alysis (CAS 07782-44-7),
— carbon dioxide for analysis, used as a secondary reference gas for
the carbon 13 content (CAS 00124-38-9),
— oxidation reagent for the furnace of the combustion system, for
example copper ( ΙΙ)oxide for elemental analysis (CAS 1317-38-
0),
— a desiccant to eliminate water produced in combustion, for
example anhydrone for elemental analysis (magnesium perchlo-
rate) (CAS 10034-81-8) (This is not necessary for apparatuses
equipped with a water elimination system using cryogenic traps
or selectively permeable capillaries).
6. APPARATUS AND EQUIPMENT
6.1.Isotoperatiomassspectrometer (IRMS)
Isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) capable of determining the rela-
tive13C content of naturally occurring CO2gas with an internal accuracy
of 0,05 ‰ or better expressed as a relative value (point 9). Internal accu-
racy here is defined as the difference between two measurements of the
same sample of CO2. The mass spectrometer used to measure isotope
ratios is generally equipped with a triple collector to simultaneously
measure intensities for m/z = 44, 45 and 46. The isotope ratio mass spec-
trometer must either be equipped with a dual inlet, to alternately measure
the unknown sample and a reference sample, or use an integrated system
that carries out the quantitative combustion of samples and separates the
carbondioxide from the other combustionproducts before measuremen t
inthe mass spectrometer.
6.2.Combustionapparatus
Combustion apparatus able to quantitatively convert ethanol into carbon
dioxide and eliminate all other combustion products including water,
without any isotopic fractionation. The apparatus may be either a contin-
uous-flow system integrated with the mass spectrometry apparatus (point1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 176
▼M8
6.2.1) or a separate combustionsystem (poin t 6.2.2). The apparatus must
permit an accuracy of at least that indicated in (point 11).
6.2.1.Continuous-flow systems
These comprise either an elemental analyser or a gas chromatograph with
an online combustion system.
The following laboratory equipment is needed for systems equipped for
the introduction of samples contained in metal capsules:
— calibrated microsyringe or micropipette with appropriate tips,
— balance with µg accuracy or better,
— tweezers for encapsulation,— tincapsules for liquid samples,
— tincapsules for solid samples.
Note:
inorder to reduce the risk of evaporationof ethan ol samples, anabsor-
bent material (for example Chromosorb W 45-60 mesh) may be placed
in the capsules, it first having been verified by means of a measurement
without a sample that is does not contain a significant quantify of carbon
likely to affect the results.
The following laboratory equipment is needed when using an elemental
analyser equipped with a liquid injector or in the case of a combustion
chromatography preparationsystem:
— syringe for liquids,
— flasks equipped with airtight closing systems and inert septa.
The laboratory equipment indicated in the above lists are examples and
may be replaced by other equipment of equivalent performance
depending on the type of combustion and mass spectrometry apparatus
used by the laboratory.
6.2.2.Separate preparation system
The samples of carbondioxide resultin g from the combustionof the
samples to be analysed and the reference sample are collected in bulbs
which are thenplaced inthe dual in let of the spectrometer for isotopic
analysis. Several combustion apparatuses described in the literature may
be used:
— closed combustion system filled with circulating oxygen,
— elemental analyser with helium and oxygen flow,
— sealed glass bulb filled with copper ( ΙΙ)oxide as anoxidationagen t.
7. PREPARATION OF SAMPLES FOR TESTS
The ethanol must be extracted from the wine before isotopic testing. This
is carried out by distilling wine as described in point 3.1 of method No 8
(SNIF-NMR).
In the case of grape musts, concentrated grape musts and rectified
concentrated grape musts, the sugars must be fermented in ethanol first
as described inpoin t 3.2 of method No 8.
8. PROCEDURE
All steps of the preparation must be carried out without any significant
ethanol loss through evaporation that would change the isotopic composi-
tionof the sample.
The following description refers to the procedures generally used for
ethanol sample combustion using commercial automated combustion
systems. All other methods that ensure that all of the ethanol sample is
converted into carbon dioxide without any loss of ethanol through
evaporationmay be used for the preparationof carbondioxide for
isotopic analysis.
Experimental procedure based on the use of an elemental analyser:
(a) placing the samples in capsules:
— use capsules, tweezers and a preparation tray, all of which must
be clean,
— take anappropriate-sized capsule usin g the tweezers,
— introduce an appropriate amount of liquid into the capsule using a
micropipette,1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 177

—Note:
3,84 mg of absolute ethanol or 4,17 mg of distillate with an
alcohol strength of 92 % m/m are necessary to obtain 2 mg ofcarbon. The appropriate quantity of distillate must be calculated
on that basis, according to the quantity of carbon necessary given
the sensitivity of the mass spectrometry apparatus,
— close the capsule with the tweezers,— each capsule must be completely sealed. If not, it must be
discarded and a new capsule prepared,
— two capsules must be prepared for every sample,— place the capsules inthe appropriate place onthe tray of the auto-
matic sampler of the elemental analyser. Every capsule must be
carefully identified by a serial number,
— systematically place capsules containing working references at the
beginning and the end of the sample series,
— regularly insert control samples in the sample series;
(b) checking and adjusting the elemental analysis and mass spectrometry
apparatus:
— adjust the temperature of the elemental analyser furnaces and the
helium and oxygen flows for optimal combustion of the sample,
— check the elemental analysis and mass spectrometry system for
leaks (for example by checking the ionic current where m/z = 28
for N
2),
— adjust the mass spectrometer to measure the ionic currents where
m/z = 44, 45 and 46,
— check the system using known control samples before starting to
measure the samples;
(c) carrying out a series of measurements
The samples placed onthe automatic sampler of the elemen tal
analyser (or of the chromatograph) are introduced in turn. The carbon
dioxide from each sample combustionis eluted towards the mass
spectrometer which measures the ionic currents. The interfaced
computer records the ionic currents and calculates the δvalue for
each sample (point 9).
9. CALCULATION
The purpose of the method is to measure the13C/12C isotope ratio
ofethanol extracted from wine or from products derived from grapes
following fermentation. The13C/12C isotope ratiocanbe expressed by its
deviation from a working reference. The isotopic deviation of carbon 13
(δ13C) is thencalculated ona delta scale per thousan d ( δ/1 000) by
comparing the results obtained for the sample to be measured with those
for a working reference previously calibrated on the basis of the primary
international reference (V-PDB). The δ13C values are expressed inrela-
tion to the working reference as follows:
δ13Csam/ref‰ = 1 000 × (Rsam-Rref)/Rref
where Rsamand Rrefare respectively the13C/12C isotope ratios of the
sample and of the carbon dioxide used as the reference gas.
The δ13C values are expressed inrelationto V-PDB as follows:
δ13Csam/V-PDB‰= δ13Csam/ref+δ13Cref/V-PDB+(δ13Csam/ref×δ13Cref/V-PDB)/1 000,
where δ13Cref/V-PDBis the previously determined isotopic deviation of the
working reference from V-PDB.
Small variations may occur while measuring on line due to changes in the
instrumental conditions. In this case the δ13C values of the samples must
be corrected according to the difference in the measured δ13C value of the
standard working sample and its true value, previously calibrated against
V-PDB by comparison with one of the international reference materials.
Between two measurements of the standard working sample, the varia-
tion, and therefore the correction to be applied to the results obtained
from the samples, may be assumed to be linear. The standard working
sample must be measured at the beginning and at the end of all sample
series. A correction can then be calculated for each sample using linear
interpolation.1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 178

10. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL
Check that the13C value for the working reference does not differ by
more than0,5 ‰ from the admissible value. If n ot, the spectrometry
apparatus settings should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
For each sample, check that the difference in the results for two capsules
measured successively is less than0,3 ‰. The fin al result for a given
sample is the average value for the two capsules. If the deviationis
greater than0,3 ‰, the measuremen t must be repeated.
Checks on correct measurement can be based on the ionic current where
m/z = 44, which is proportional to the quantity of carbon injected into the
elemental analyser. Under standard conditions, the ionic current should be
almost constant for the samples analysed. A significant deviation could
be indicative of ethanol evaporation (for example an imperfect seal on a
capsule) or instability of the elemental analyser or mass spectrometer.
11. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE METHOD (Accuracy)
An initial collaborative study (point 11.1) was carried out on distillates
containing alcohol of vinous origin and cane and beet alcohol, as well
as different mixtures of alcohol of those three origins. Since this study
did not take into account the distillation procedure, further information
from other interlaboratory studies on wine (point 11.2) and, in particular,
series of proficiency tests (point 11.3) for isotopic measurements were
also considered. The results show that under satisfactory conditions, and
in particular those for measurement using SNIF-NMR, the different distil-
lation systems do not produce significant variation in the determination of
theδ13C value of wine ethanol. The accuracy parameters observed for
wine are almost identical to those obtained in the joint study on distillates
(point 11.1).

Different distillation systems were used by the participating laboratories.
The isotopic determinations ( δ13C) carried out ina sin gle laboratory on
the whole number of distillates returned by the participants do not reveal
any aberrant values or values that differ significantly from the average
values. The variationinresults (S2= 0,0059) is comparable to the repeat-
ability variances Sr2in the joint study on distillates (point 11.1).
11.3.Results of the exercises carried out to monitor proficiency in
performingisotopictests
Since December 1994, international proficiency tests for the determina-
tion of isotopic measurements for wine and alcohol (distillates of 96 %ASV) have been regularly organised. The results enable participating
laboratories to check the quality of their analyses. Statistical results
permit appreciation of the variation in measurements under conditions of
reproducibility and therefore an estimation of the parameters of variance
and the limit of reproducibility. The results obtained for the determination1990R2676 — EN — 01.08.2003 — 008.001 — 180
