A method for reducing unwanted odor and/or unwanted flavor in a wine bottled in a metallic container system, comprising: contacting the wine with a transition metal-containing compound to form a treated wine containing the transition metal-containing compound, wherein the contacting of the wine with the transition metal-containing compound is a water soluble transition metal containing compound, wherein the wine and transition metal-containing compound are contacted after at least one of a fermentation process and a maturation process, and wherein the treated wine comprises no more than 0.2 ppm copper; bottling the treated wine in the metallic container; and sealing the treated wine in the metallic container having a metallic closure system, wherein the metallic container and the metallic closure system are substantially impervious to one or both of oxygen permeation and transmission, and wherein one of the following is true: (a) the transition metal-containing compound is contacted with the wine prior to filling the container; (b) the container is charged with one of the wine and transition metal-containing compound prior to charging the metallic container with the other of wine and transition metal-containing compound; and (c) the wine and the transition metal-containing compound are charged to the metallic container at about the same time by a separate or a combined wine charging and transition metal-containing compound charging processes. contacting the wine with a transition metal-containing compound to form a treated wine containing the transition metal-containing compound, wherein the contacting of the wine with the transition metal-containing compound is a water soluble transition metal containing compound, wherein the wine and transition metal-containing compound are contacted after at least one of a fermentation process and a maturation process, and wherein the treated wine comprises no more than 0.2 ppm copper; bottling the treated wine in the metallic container; and sealing the treated wine in the metallic container having a metallic closure system, wherein the metallic container and the metallic closure system are substantially impervious to one or both of oxygen permeation and transmission, and wherein one of the following is true: (a) the transition metal-containing compound is contacted with the wine prior to filling the container; (b) the container is charged with one of the wine and transition metal-containing compound prior to charging the metallic container with the other of wine and transition metal-containing compound; and (c) the wine and the transition metal-containing compound are charged to the metallic container at about the same time by a separate or a combined wine charging and transition metal-containing compound charging processes. (a) the transition metal-containing compound is contacted with the wine prior to filling the container; (b) the container is charged with one of the wine and transition metal-containing compound prior to charging the metallic container with the other of wine and transition metal-containing compound; and (c) the wine and the transition metal-containing compound are charged to the metallic container at about the same time by a separate or a combined wine charging and transition metal-containing compound charging processes.
