Abstract:
A method for analyzing a liquid sample, such as wine, in order to detect the possible presence of sulphite-resistant yeasts of the Brettanomyces bruxellensis species. The method includes detecting whether yeasts of the Brettanomyces bruxellensis species belonging to the genetic group of triploid oenological yeasts are found in the sample. If such yeasts are detected, then the sample is deduced to contain sulphite-resistant yeasts of the Brettanomyces bruxellensis species.
