Harvesting and processing of white Chardonnay grapes and red grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Southern climate condition of the four districts of the Krasnodar territory are done. The agrotechnical data collected from experimental plots (name of farm, square of plot, age of the vineyard, weight of the grape samples). The results of determination of physical-chemical parameters of the examined grape musts and wine products indicate the technological and physiological maturity of grapes. Harvested grapes for study were healthy, with the necessary amount of sugars and acids for the production of high quality dry table wines. The most important value to determine the taste and nutritional qualities of grapes and their suitability for technical processing are sugar and organic acids. The sugar content in the must from Chardonnay grapes ranged from 18,1 to 23.7 g/100 cm3 , from grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon � from 18.8 to 25.2 g/100 cm3. Mass concentration of titratable acids in the experimental wine materials was in the range required by the standard. Almost of all dry wine materials had a high alcohol content � from 11.1 to 14.9 % vol., due to high sugar accumulation in the berries. High values of the given extract (more than 16 g/dm3 for white wines and more than 18 g/dm3 for red wines) were in the whole of wine materials. The high-quality raw materials f or the production of table wines were made using the classic technology, which was confirmed by high organoleptic assessment of wines. The obtained results can be used as the basis for the development of a modern system of quality assessment of wine production in the Russian Federation, as well as assessment of the geographic origin and the season of wine-making.

An increase in the volumes of the apple production led to the need the perfection of the processing technology for beverages, including ciders (fruit wines). Previously adapted technology of the fruit wines production did not ensure the economical utilization of raw resources, it was labor-consuming and energy-consuming, and the wines produced were inclined to the dimness. The main obstacle in the solution of fruit wines stability problems is the presence in the raw material composition of the high-molecular polymers, such as protopectin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and also protein and phenol substances. Our study the composition of the high-molecular substances of apple fruit wines demonstrate the predominance of the polysaccharides, including the pectic substances, which influence greater the yield of juice during processing of apples and provide the stability of ciders. Close concentrations of both forms of pectic substances are observed all period of studying. The greatest quantity of pectic substances are revealed in the apples of Renet Simirenko, Korea, Florina. Also significant quantity of undissolved protopectin was found in the apples of Idared, Korea, Florina, Jonathan and, especially, Renet Simirenko. It speaks about the need to use the fermentation preparations of pectolitic or complex action for the destruction of the same pectic substances to the galacturonic acids and the complex compounds. It is shown that the introduction of fermentation preparations ensured the hydrolysis of high-molecular polysaccharides in the fermented juices of all apple types studied. The most effective were the fermentation preparations of fruktocim M and P group. The technology of the fruit wines stabilization is developed. Its essence consists in the fact that due to the maximal removal of the components, which cause colloidal and other dimness at the early stage of technological process, exactly during working of juice and its fermentation, the basic prerequisites for the production of stable wine are ensured.

The production of Russian wine is based on the use of active dry yeast imported into the Russian Federation from European countries � France, Germany, Italy. Meanwhile, it is known that the high-quality wines of a geographical name must be produced using the local yeast races. The search for such races (strains) is an urgent task. Analysis of the genetic diversity of wild yeast populations and the creation of their collections is a necessary initial step in creating the new promising strains for industrial winemaking. Such studies are ongoing in Europe to create terroarspecific yeast strains. Grapes were sampled to isolate and study the new local strains of wine yeast in the vineyards of Temryuk and Anapa districts of the Krasnodar Territory. DNA isolation, conditions for PCR and fragment analysis were carried out according to current methods. To analyze the polymorphism length of amplified fragments during SSR genotyping, a fragment analysis was used on an ABIprism 3130 automated genetic analyzer. The data obtained were visualized in Gene Mapper v 4.1. A variety of species and genera of yeast on the surface of grape berries has been established. Moreover, the �yield� of saccharomycetes amounted to about 30 % of the total number of monospore cultures obtained for each of the selection points. The results of the analysis of genetic Relationships and a number of technological characteristics of strains of Saccharomyces sp. Isolated from natural population in ampelocenoses are presented. It was revealed that the geographical factor influenced the occurrence of genetic isolation. The genetically removed strains display the significant differences in a number of physiological and biochemical characteristics.

The current area of research is a comprehensive study of varieties, forms and clones of local breeding for a reasonable selection of modern varieties. The aim of the study was to study the biochemical and technological characteristics of varieties, forms and clones of grapes bred by NCFSCHVW in the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Kuban. The objects of research were varieties, forms, clones of the NCFSCHVW breeding (9 white-berry, 11 dark-berry and 4 control varieties), as well as fresh grape must and dry wine materials obtained from them. Wine materials were prepared according to classical technologies for low-oxidized white wines and red wines with a �floating cap�. The mass concentrations of sugars and titratable acids were determined in the must. Physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics, indicators, composition of aroma-forming components and individual organic acids were determined in wine materials. A complex of phenolic substances, vitamins and vitamin-like substances was studied in red wine materials. It was established that the must of the studied samples had moderate mass concentrations of sugars and titratable acids: white berry 19.1-22.5 g/100 cm3 and 7.6-8.3 g/dm3 , respectively; dark berries 20.2-24.4 g/100 cm3 and 6.8-8.0 g/dm3 , respectively. It was noted that the group of Tana forms was distinguished by a higher volume fraction of ethyl alcohol of 11.8-12.5 % vol. In a sample of dry wine material Tana 95, a higher content of esters (89.8 mg/dm3 ) was noted, among red ones � in wine materials Tana 33 (116.8 mg/dm3 ), Kurchanskiy (100.1 mg/dm3 ) and Cabernet Kuban (105.2 mg/dm3 ). The mass concentration of higher alcohols in dry wine materials from the white berry forms of Tana (295.9-349.8 mg/dm3 ) exceeded the classic varieties and proto-clones from the Chardonnay and Riesling lines (192.6-264.4 mg/dm3 ). Vladimir stood out by the amount of phenolic substances (3603 mg/dm3 ), Tana 85 distinguished according to the accumulation of anthocyanins. Kurchanskiy, Vladimir and Tana 85 were isolated according to the amount of vitamins and vitamin-like substances.
