Winemaking balances multiple components of the wine to impact quality, flavor, mouthfeel, and more. This project investigated the different chemical species that impact wine mouthfeel at E&J Gallo. Concepts from industrial winemaking processes, chemical engineering principles, and industry practices were integrated to develop quantitative techniques to measure chemical species that correlate with mouthfeel. This project was completed in Modesto, CA from January 2023 to March 2023. E&J Gallo is requiring that the report remain confidential indefinitely.
