Abstract
Modern literary sources on the improvement of raw materials
for production of sparklings were systematized. Recommendations on the
prospects of using various grape varieties in production of sparkling wines
are given. They include introduced (‘Malbec’, ‘Syrah’, etc.), selection (‘Riesling
Magaracha’, ‘Riesling Muscatny’, ‘Riesling Krasny’, ‘Aligote Muscatnoye’,
‘Tsitronnyi Magaracha’, etc.) and native (‘Kokur Belyi’, ‘Kokur Belyi 46-10-3’,
‘Sykh Dane’, ‘Sary Pandas’, ‘Kefesiya’, etc.) grape varieties. Factors influencing the main and additional indicators in the system "grapes - base wine -
sparkling wine" are highlighted. The most important factors are the degree
of grape ripeness, its technological potential, soil and climatic conditions of
grape growing. It is concluded that a comprehensive approach to the selection of raw materials, taking into account the factors affecting its main and
additional indicators, will allow the formation of zones of raw materials for
the production of high quality sparkling wines.
