This concurs with other studies on the effects of wine
matrix components. In addition to the wine matrix components,
the flavors themselves also affected the perception of wine finish.
Specifically, coconut finish intensity was diminished in the presence
of suprathreshold concentrations of floral and bell pepper flavors.
These results can be used by wine makers as they make
decisions in the processing of their wines. With this knowledge,
wine makers can choose to alter their tannin or ethanol profile
with confidence as to how this may also affect the wine finish so
as to ensure the utmost quality.
