060809 - Ladybug Taint Removed In Box Wine - Andy Coghlan - New Scientist -
- Crushing ladybug beetles when processing wine produces alkyl-methoxypyrazines - this is BAD -
- Storing wine in aseptic box cartons with aluminum seals - reduces the chemicals that cause ladybug taint - up to 45% - better than if wine is stored in bottles - this is GOOD -
- Oxygen admitted by the cartons can destroy - flavor - and - odour - this is VERY BAD -
