The concentrations of ethanol, glycerol and volatile acids ranged from 11.10 to 11.20 vol %, 8.35e9.32 g/L and 0.51e0.59 g/L, respectively. The mixed culture of HS and MS yielded the highest glycerol contents (9.32 and 9.16 g/L, respectively). HS and PS generated higher levels of volatile acids, but the values did not exceed the threshold that has a negative effect on wine quality.
