Departamento de Tecnologia de Alimentos, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Camino de Vera, 14, 46071 Valencia, España The composition in terms of alcohols and polyols of 44 and 49 red wines (harvested in 1994 and 1995, respectively) produced in Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Monastrell and Bobal was,analyzed. Discriminant analysis revealed differences among wines, and a clear separation of the samples (90 and 98%) was obtained. The most important compo nents in the differentation of the varieties studied were isoamyl alcohol for Cabernet Sauvignon, cis- 3-hexenol and isobutyl alcohol for Tempranillo, methanol and cis-3-hexenol for Monastrell, and 2,3- butanediol for Bobal. The classification obtained by elimination of the five less significant variables was similar to the one obtained using statistical treatment of all variables (with 84% and 90% in their respective harvests).
