The grape-growing industry is a priority in the agro-industrial complex of Daghestan. At present, when special attention is paid to creating conditions for the production of "protected geographical indication" wines, it is necessary to expand the research of grape raw materials used for their production. In this regard, in the Republic of Daghestan the study of nutritional and technological properties of new autochthonous grape varieties, along with introduced ones is actual, to recommend the production of wines from them that can increase the prestige of local wine products. It is determined that the qualitative composition and quantitative content of pools of aroma-producing substances in red and rose wine materials made from grapes of technical local varieties Gimra Novaya and Fioletta, as well as the Pervenets Magaracha (harvest 2019), grown in the conditions of the Derbent district of the Republic of Daghestan on the plantation of the Dagestan Selecting Testing Station of Viticulture and Horticulture � branch of the Federal State Budget Scientific Institution �North Caucasian Federal Scientific Center of Horticulture, Viticulture, Winemaking�. Aroma-producing substances were determined on a gas chromatograph �Crystal 2000M� (RF). A significant amount of carbonyl compounds (325.48 mg/dm3 ) and esters (252.94 mg/dm3 ) was found in the rose wine material produced from the Pervenets Magaracha and Fioletta varieties. The highest total number of higher alcohols (1871.37 mg/dm3 ) and aromatic components (2588.68 mg/dm3 ) was found in the wine material from the red variety Gimra Novaya. A high concentration of 2,3 butylene glycol and a higher alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, was noted. The total mass concentration of volatile acids in the studied experimental samples of wine materials was 439.56-781.28 mg/dm3 . It is determined that the natural conditions of the southern zone of Daghestan are favourable for the cultivation of grapes of autochthonous varieties Gimra Novaya, Fioletta and introduced variety Pervenets Magaracha. Using them as raw materials for obtaining high-quality wine materials will allow you to form in their bouquet the tones of smoky prunes, hints of the taste of pomegranate and blackthorn fruits.

This article proposes a technology for the production of grape spirits from a sweet grape pomace, which consists in fermentation of the grape pomace using a pure growth of yeast, adding yeasty grounds and water, a piquette separation, its distillation with the selection of the head and tail fractions and the secondary distillation to obtain a 94-95 % grape rectified spirit by volume. The distillation of the resulting raw materials was performed on the installation of a LUMMARK consisting of a distiller and a distillation column. The prepared piquettes were subjected to primary distillation using the DV-3 distillator, distillates (raw spirit) were distilled on the RUM-3 distillation column with electrical heating. Primary distillation mode: the volume of the piquette taken to distillation is 50 l, the heating mode before the distillation starts at the power of the electric heater � 3kW (55-65 min). The rectifying distillation mode: the volume of the raw alcohol is 40 l, the heating mode before the selection of the head fraction is started with the power of the electric heater � 3kW (40-55 min). In the preparation of raw materials to primary distillation, it was established that the optimal duration of the fermentation of raw materials for the production of piquettes in order to reduce the content of volatile acids, methanol and other secondary fermentation products that have a negative effect on finished products should not exceed 4 days. It has been established that to obtain high-quality raw spirit, it is necessary to carry out the selection of head fractions in an amount of at least 3 % of the volume for all raw materials, for distillate from grape must of technical varieties of grapes � at least 1.5 % of the volume. It is shown that the organoleptic and physicochemical indicators of rectified grape spirits, produced by the proposed technology, corresponded to the standards established in the standard regardless of the type of raw materials (wine grape, table grape).

Clonal breeding of grapes is one of the methods of variety improvement, which allows to identify the genetic variations of the variety most adapted to climatic and soil growing conditions. More than three thousand clones have been registered in the world, most of which are 1.5 times more productive than mother plantations. The search for adapted genotypes to the agro-climatic conditions of the Temryuk region is a promising task, since about 30 % of grape plantations in the Krasnodar region are located in this area. Higher productivity of clonal breeding can be expected when working with varieties of old origin. Saperavi is an ancient Georgian grape variety, one of the best Georgian varieties for winemaking. The purpose of our research is to isolate new clones of the Saperavi variety, adapted to local growing conditions. An analysis of the climatic conditions of the Temryuk region indicates an increase in the aridity of the territory (the period of 1991-2020 compared to 1961-2020), an increase in the average absolute maximum air temperature and an increase in the frequency of temperatures below minus 20 ºC. In the Temryuk region, in industrial plantations of the Saperavi variety, an expeditionary survey was carried out to identify bushes for inclusion in further study as candidates for clones of the Saperavi variety. As a result of the survey, according to a complex of positive characteristics, 4 bushes were identified for further observations and records. The selected samples according to the microsatellite DNA profile correspond to the Saperavi variety. Experimental samples of grapes were used in the preparation of red table wines by fermentation of the must on the pulp in the micro-winemaking department. All experimental samples of Saperavi wines had similar values in the concentrations of sugars and titrated acids. The mass concentration of the given extract in the experimental samples of dry wines was in the range of 26.1-28.8 g/dm3.

The activity of oxidative enzymes � peroxidase and orthodiphenol oxidase in fresh grape must has been studied. Grapes grown in the Temryuk and Anapa districts of the Krasnodar region were used. Grapes are intended for the production of brandy wine materials. The must was fermented with spontaneous microflora, the resulting brandy wine material was subjected to fractional distillation to obtain brandy distillate. It was revealed that the activity of oxidative enzymes varies depending on the grape variety and the place of its growth. There is a difference in the activity of orthodiphenol oxidase and peroxidase depending on the grape variety: in classical varieties it is less in comparison with hybrid ones. The greatest value of the activity of redox enzymes was found in the grape must of the Levokumskiy variety, regardless of its place of growth. The treatment of the must with bentonite led to a more significant decrease in the activity of oxidative enzymes in comparison with polyvinylpolypyrrolidone and clarification of the must in the cold. The most effective processing method was the joint technological treatment of grape must with bentonite and polyvinylpolypyrrolidone. The processing of the must Before its fermentation helps to reduce the activity of oxidative enzymes and to obtain brandy distillates with a harmonious combination of aroma-forming components. In brandy distillates produced from processed grape must, the concentration of acetaldehyde, acetoin, furfural, methanol, a number of higher alcohols decreases, i.e. those components that reduce the quality and safety of brandy distillates. Brandy distillates produced from processed grape must had a higher organoleptic rating.

The purpose of the work is to establish the influence of grape top dressings and biofertilizers on the composition of volatile components of cognac wine materials and distillates. The object of research was the Aligote grape variety, in the cultivation of which biofertilizer and top dressing with Gumel Lux, Fylloton and Agrumax preparations were used. The grapes were processed using the technology of white dry wines, after which they were distilled to obtain cognac distillates. Quality control of cognac distillates was carried out according to GOST methods and using gas chromatography. It was found that the use of top dressing, especially Fylloton, led to an increase in the concentration of higher alcohols. A similar effect, but to a lesser extent, was exerted by the introduction of biofertilizer obtained on the basis of grape pomace. In all experimental variants, an increase in acetaldehyde concentration was observed compared to the control, especially in samples produced from grapes in the cultivation of which Fylloton and biofertilizer were used. In a wide range, the concentration of ethyl acetate varied � from 278 mg/dm3 in the control to 352 mg/dm3 when using Fylloton. The concentration of ethyl acetal varied from 17.0 (Agrumax) to 36.4 mg/dm3 in the control, i.e. the use of all studied top dressings led to a decrease in the amount of ethyl acetal. The concentration of higher alcohols increased significantly in all experimental variants, especially when using Fylloton. The variation in acetic acid concentrations ranged from 221 (control) to 277 (Fylloton) mg/dm3 . All samples of cognac distillates in terms of organoleptic indicators met the requirements of regulatory documentation and were characterized by a mild taste with tones of fresh grapes in the aroma.
