Are all red wines equals regarding their vulnerability to Brettanomyces bruxellensis ?
Odours deemed harmful by the consumer and described as "stable", "horse sweat" or "burnt plastic" can be found in wines. The responsible molecules are volatile phenols, produced by a spoilage yeast: brettanomyces bruxellensis. This species is particularly well adapted to the wine environment and can resists many stresses such as a high alcohol level, a low ph or high levels of SO2, more or less efficiently depending on the strain considered.
