Abstract

The flora of Georgia is distinguished by the biodiversity of the wild Eurasian grapevine (V. vinifera L.), which includes the wild (forest) vine V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris Gmel., wild cultivated grapevine accessions V. vinifera ssp. sativa DC., and transitional forms between accessions and the wild grapevine V. vinifera ssp. silvestris Ram. Since the second half of the 19th century, as a result of the spread of pests (phylloxera) and fungal diseases introduced from America, wild and transitional grapevines have become rare in the environment. Therefore, the study of the carpological and enological characteristics of six wild grapevine forms preserved in the grapevine collection of the Agricultural Scientific Center, in relation to control varieties, is of particular interest to our research. Experimental wines were made from three forms, and their chemical and organoleptic characteristics were determined. The study showed that the studied individuals are not inferior to the control varieties in terms of eno-carpological data. The experimental wines, like those of the control varieties, are distinguished by good enochemical and organoleptic properties
