When smoke drifts into vineyards, wines vinified from smoke-affected grapes can exhibit undesirable smoky, burnt, and ashy sensory attributes. The first objective of my research is to assess whether environmental data collected by a sensor can be used as input for creating a model to predict a smoke taint risk profile. The second objective is to develop a way to minimize grapevine smoke exposure and/or uptake and effectively create a smoke taint preventative strategy. A sensitive detection system paired to an effective preventative strategy is critical for managing vineyard exposure to smoke and overcoming the issue of smoke taint in the wine industry!
