Good enough for a good article by my standards. Keep up the good work. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 08:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A bit too scientific?

While the information here is excellent, I wonder if it might be better to focus more on the effects of the faults. I know that information is there, but it seems to me that it should be a bit more prominent. Spectre 25gt 03:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spectre 25gt, I was just wondering what you mean by "effects", as this statement is rather ambiguous. Are you referring to things such as the economic impact of wine faults? Thanks ◄§ĉҺɑʀκs ► 14:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm referring to the effects on the flavor, mouthfeel, etc. Spectre 25gt 00:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Volatile acidity

The former VA article has been merged with this one for now. But there's a good article from Wine & Spirit mag that mikght inspire someone to resuscitate the VA article if they wanted to.... FlagSteward 11:51, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hangover

I would really like to know which of these substances can cause hangovers. The Acetaldehyde and Ethanol articles suggest that acetaldehyde is the main factor aside from dehydration.Brallan 15:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Wine fault/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

This article is woefully inadequate in terms of number of references overall. In addition, the lead section is too short and does not summarize the entire article. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:35, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial of time has passed, yet there is no improvement made on the article since this GAR took place. I am now delisting this article from GA. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 02:15, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear phrase

Can anyone say with certainty what this phrase is supposed to be?

"...that can introduce materials off aromas..."

Merleblanc (talk) 00:05, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oxidation

The section on oxidation is very poor. On ethyl acetate "the compound does not contribute to the volatile acidity." This is incorrect, from Bryce rankine's "Making Good Wine" section on Volatile acidity "acetic acid and it's ester, ethyl acetate". Also from this article " impart nail polish remover, glue, or varnish type aromas." Ethyl acetate gives vinegar taste, nail polish smell is usually acetaldehyde. On acetaldehyde, the article says "imparts a sherry type character to the wine which can also be described as green apple, sour and metallic." While the sherry part is true the rest is very inaccurate, green apple is usually malic apple, sour and metallic is not a good description of acetaldehyde at all. This section is causing people to get a very confused view of common wine faults and should probably be deleted or changed by someone with suitable expertise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.74.179 (talk) 20:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fruit flies

I was looking for Fruit flies, but it is not on the list, shouldn't it be? Although google is even less helpful ("drosophila stress odorant" is mainly CO2 and not the thing) --Squidonius (talk) 00:50, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
