Over the last few years, the dealcoholization of wine has piqued the interest of winemakers and researchers. Phys. dealcoholization methods are increasingly used in the dealcoholization of wines because they can partially or completely reduce the alc. content of wines. This study aimed to compare the chem. parameters, volatile composition and sensory quality of white, rose and red wines dealcoholized by two phys. dealcoholization reverse osmosis (RO) and vacuum distillation (VD) at 0.7% volume/volume ethanol. RO and VD effectively reduced the ethanol concentration in all wines to the required 0.7% volume/volume, but also significantly affected most chem. parameters. The pH, free sulfur dioxide, total sulfur dioxide, and volatile acidity decreased significantly due to dealcoholization by RO and VD, while reducing sugars and total acidity increased significantly. VD resulted in higher color intensity, which was perceptible in dealcoholized rose and red wines, while RO caused notable color differences in dealcoholized white and red wine fractions. RO were richer in esters (more Et esters and isoamyl acetate), higher alcs., organic acids, terpenics and C13-norisoprenoids, and carbonyl compounds, while wines dealcoholized with VD had lower levels of these volatile compounds, which may reflect both the loss of esters into the distillate during evaporation and condensation (in the case of VD) and a shift in the chem. equilibrium responsible for ester formation and hydrolysis after ethanol removal. β-damascenone exhibited the highest OAV in all wines, however, losses equal to 35.54-61.98% in RO dealcoholized fractions and 93.62% to 97.39% in VD dealcoholized fractions were observed compared to the control wines. The predominant aroma series in the original and dealcoholized wines were fruity and floral but were greatly affected by VD. Sensory evaluation and PCA showed that dealcoholization by RO improved the fruity and floral notes (in rose and red wines), color intensity, sweetness, viscosity, and aroma intensity better than dealcoholization by VD, while VD mainly enhanced the color of the dealcoholized wines. Both methods increased the acidity of the resp. dealcoholized wines. Nevertheless, RO dealcoholized wines achieved higher acceptance by the panelists than VD dealcoholized wines. Therefore, RO may be a better method for producing dealcoholized (0.7% volume/volume) wines with minimal impact on aroma and sensory quality.
