The word “wine” is derived from the use of two words; vinus (wine) and vine (grape) in Latin. Alcoholic fermentation dates back to 10,000 years ago, where the use of grapes was probably not the original source of sugars in the fermentation process to produce alcohol (Hooper, 2014). Fermented beverages were served as a source of stress relief and clean liquid refreshment. Islamic writings on the fermentation and distillation of wine are believed to be the earliest records of wine production, but they provided very minimal insight due to the prohibition of alcohol in Islam . Wine production began in Australia in 1788 when grape cuttings were brought ashore. at Sydney Cove by Captain Arthur Phillip (Hooper, 2014). In the 1800s, when European immigrants from Germany and Switzerland were introduced to Australia, they brought with them the knowledge and experience to begin cultivating the excellent growing conditions of the cooler southern regions, this which influenced the major growth of the Australian wine industry (Hooper, 2014).Wine quality is an inherently subjective issue that is used as a reflection on the chemical composition of the wine itself (Factors Influencing Wine Quality, 2001). Wine quality is about the compound that the taster associates with pleasant experiences that are defined in various ways. The "ideal" wine depends on its proximity to a specific target wine, depending on how close its composition is to that of a superior wine, but it can also be defined such that its harmonious complexity (in reference to the characters, the tastes and aromas produced by the wine and the combination they produce) or its inharmonious notes (which center the concept of importance...... middle of paper ......annoying bacteria does not cause no disastrous results In order to certify a high level of sanitation, all equipment used regarding wine must be disinfected with a sodium metabisulfite solution and water (Barr, 2012). organic characterized by one or more hydroxyl groups.

(Encyclopedia Britannica, 2014) Alcohols can be classified as primary, secondary or tertiary based on the carbon to which the alkyl group is attached to the hydroxyl group. Alcohols are a colorless liquid of low molecular weight and highly soluble in water (Encyclopedia Britannica , 2014).
