Twelve single-variety wines were aged in new American oak barrels. A control wine of each variety without ageing in wood was also studied. The volatile aroma composition of these wines was analysed after the following combinations of time in wood and time in bottle: 0 months in wood plus 18 months in bottle, 4 months in wood plus 14 months in bottle, 9 months in wood plus 12 months in barrel and 12 months in barrel plus 6 months in bottle. The data obtained were studied by two different multivariate methods: factor analysis by principal components and stepwise linear discriminant analysis. The results obtained showed that the capacity of wine to extract the volatile compounds from the wood depended on the variety of grape used. Furthermore, it was also found that the changes in the volatile composition of the wines induced by the wood ageing were more important during the first 4 months. In addition, the volatile compounds studied allowed to differentiate and correctly classify the wines according to the time they had been in contact with the wood. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.
