Abstract
Proceeding with a similar way as previous works, we characterised the presence of lignins in wines. This natural polymer was chosen as biomarker. It's a remarkably stable in time and typical wood component. We used the thioacidolysis reaction with ethanethiol and boron trifluoroetherate as reagents, to obtain some characteristic phenylpropane units from the lignin polymer. Identification was performed by mass spectrometry coupled with gas chromatography (GPG/SM) of thioacidolysis products in trimethylsililated form. The aim of this study is the demonstration of wine aging in barrel before bottling.


Key words: Ancient wine / barrel aging / lignin / thioacidolysis.
