Wine constitutes a dynamic system in continuous evolution, in which numerous reactions involving polymerization and condensation take place between its phenolic Compounds during the ageing process, which undoubtedly affect its structure and, very probably, its antioxidant effect. This study set out to evaluate the effect of ageing on the antioxidant potential of wine. A group of 162 wines were studied, of varying ages, which had undergone different ageing processes, both in the barrel and in the bottle, and which were prepared from different grape varieties and vintages. Total antioxidant capacity (ABTS, DPPH, DMPD, ORAC and FRAP), scavenger activity (HRSA and SRSA) and the biomarkers of oxidative stress (DNA-damage and ABAP-LP) were all analysed. The assay methods showed different behaviours for the same wines, thus the young wines presented higher indices for ABTS, DPPH and DMPD, whereas those that were aged showed higher indices for ABAP-LP and ORAC. Finally, the antioxidant potential of the wines in the Study appeared not to be influenced by other factors, such as microoxygenation or grape variety. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
