Why does wine smell like roses?

[@MinutoDaTerra]

This is exactly how I feel: "I’m still not particularly good at identifying aromas in wine. But knowing that they are legit and where they come from has made me a bit better at noticing them in my glass." Cheers!

[@brothernicole3112]

wait what another language speaking english

[@Rudy0stefmeister]

This is such a fascinating topic, people think I'm crazy when I describe a Riesling as smelling of kerosene, but it's real! The compound that causes it is TDN, trimethyl dihydro naphthalene. Same with pyrazines causing aromas of capsicum (bell pepper) or polyphenols causing aromas of chocolate or cocoa

[@marcusgall1361]

Fun story about 4-MMP (the cat-pee molecule). There are some concentrations where it actually smells like Black Currants. Also, there is some research that shows that identifying it as black currant vs. cat pee is (somewhat) based on gender.

[@cassieoz1702]

Yup, if cat pee is there I'll smell it. I went to a tasting at a Rotary function and no guys could detect it but only 2 out of 15 women could smell it.

[@Lahorca]

Oh man, as a chemist I find all those molecule structures pornographic

[@JonathanKayne]

This is why I like trying out wine so much. It's just something that can get super technical and you can dig into the nitty gritty about and learn a ton!

[@LaiPt]

loving the new channel

[@noob19087]

The best way to learn how to pick up aromas in wine is comparative tasting. Rather than drinking one wine, instead drink 2 and try to find their differences. Naturally this also works for every other food item in the world.

[@R.A.Meenan]

I'm already loving this channel.

[@cyruswilliams6688]

Already loving the style of these videos!

[@morphanage]

Terpenes are incredible compounds that deliver smell and taste experience, but also all have medicinal benefits.

[@alexullrich5694]

As a fellow stoner I have to agree haha

[@morphanage]

@@alexullrich5694 Cannaisseurs unite and educate lol Cannabis connoisseurs 💕

[@yo8682]

oh good someone knows

[@mapafilia]

great video! should do one about coffee diversity and aromas

[@shayshanshoon]

whoa it's been a while since I've heard anyone talk about tab for a cause

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

Another awesome amazing, Food Science, Video!!!

[@gamemarksman2773]

Well, I never drank wine before, but my -------- drink them sometimes, and they didn't tell me about this. And I never thought there were chemicals that makes it smell like other foods. I smelled a lot of physics in this video. Thank you.

[@d_dave7200]

Great summary :) As a wine-lover there couldn't be a better video to get me into this channel.

[@ildyil1748]

Love the Ashley reference!

[@objective_psychology]

Not to mention, there are lots of varieties of grapes, and the ones you get in stores are usually vastly different in taste from ones used for winemaking

[@bruh3414]

Loves from Turkey ❤️

[@mitchellwade150]

I assume it's similar for coffee? I've always wondered how that works. If it's different could you do a video on it?

[@MinuteFood]

Great question - very similar processes are at work in coffee (and chocolate!), producing some of the same volatile compounds and some different ones.

[@MrCharlieBros]

I love the reference to Ashley from WarioWare at 0:13

[@b.h1828]

Looking forward to see further contents from this channel (a huge fan of MinuteEarth) because simply to say; I love food lol. Frankly, to learn biochemical correlated with the food we eat is satisfying experience for me though! I am studying microbiology and this discourse is not that far from my field. Keep it up a good work

[@luisandrade2254]

Tldw: from the chemistry of the object like literally every other smell

[@jkuhl2492]

A lot of these smells are actually faults in the wine or mead from certain issues with fermentation. Some of them mellow out with time, some of them require specific processes to get rid of, and some of them you're just stuck with.

[@atzmut3884]

Very informative , and nice voice for practicing english for work 👍

[@lordyhgm9266]

Not to forget as well, aging in the barrel, acids either from natural sources, the barrel, or the full oxidation of alcohol react with natural alcohols to form waters, well known for their potent smells and presence in fruits

[@rowandoyle7]

This is what my lab studies! If you ever want more info, let me know

[@EricMyungjinChung]

Apparently I produce diacetyl! My sweat has been compared to buttered popcorn!

[@deankaraniya7422]

The music went crazy at 1:57

[@raphaelkox]

That's not a place I expected an Ashley appearance, I must say...

[@luizfellipe3291]

Adele approves this video Specifically the introduction

[@connecticutaggie]

Growing up, our family used to head out to the pasture where we had our horse and pick blackberries. My dad was convinced the taste the blackberries were sometimes affected by plants (weeds) they grew next to. Was he right?

[@morphanage]

There are more than 150 identified terpenes that Cannabis can produce, although some resources say about 400 known terpenes. Only a handful of these do we understand the medicinal benefits they provide.

[@MLeoDaalder]

That's a better explanation than what I use: "It's because of the rotting grapes" XD If you haven't guessed, I've never been around any alcoholic drink and thought "Yes, that smells like something I want to ingest"

[@raraavis7782]

I have the same issue with beer. Just smells like something spoiled and disgusting to me. I do enjoy both wine and fermented vegetables/sourdough bread, though ...so it's not a general aversion to either alcohol or other fermentation byproducts.

[@Asharra12]

Me too! I am now justified in saying that alcohol smells and tastes like cat pee to me 😅 flipping disgusting!

[@marcopohl4875]

speaking of the smell of eucalyptus, what's that like? I've never been to Australia, but I imagine it as being sorta minty

[@MinuteFood]

Yeah, it's minty and menthol-y, with something like citrus and pine in there too. I love it, but I know some people think it smells medicinal. If you've smelled any spa products, you might recognize it!

[@Kuchenrolle]

You don't need to go to Australia to smell eucalyptus.

[@cult1788]

I love drinking filipino wine

[@beesinred3138]

I'm not one who tasted has tasted wine before since I'm not old enough to drink it, but I do use it for cooking. It smells weird, definitely, although it's bad weird, just strange. Maybe because it's white wine

[@lialeeleee]

I was thinking at 4:01 that “oh no get off the table the food is gonna get full of cat hair…..”😂

[@Victoroncedonico.-zv2ge]

if Americans know the legendary Érick Jacquin it would be great

[@naturalistmind]

Probably just childhood trauma but all liquor smells the same to me.

[@MindLaboratory]

do you think if kids were raised smelling various compounds and being shown their structure, they could learn to identify relatively simple compounds by their smell?

[@MinuteFood]

I think that's possible, especially with certain compounds...like those that contain sulfur, which are very easy-to-recognize, both in aroma and structure.

[@carlosroura7581]

Do a collab with The Food Theorists

[@Mikidy303]

Every wine smells like regret to me.

[@icouldntthinkofagoodname7216]

I don't know anything about wines but Gasoline smells good specially when you see the fuel gauge at near F.

[@Aragorn450]

And then there are people like me that just can't smell... I mean, I'm sure *I* can smell, I just can't decipher smells myself 😞

[@kattthewarrior1255]

Can you please talk about why cold water boil faster than hot water?

[@astk5214]

i read that you shouldn't put wine in your refrigerator because it will "incorporate" the flavor of your food, but I ask you this, isn't a cellar where you put all kinds of foods as well as your wine? so I think I'm having a more "authentic" experience than having it's own place

[@happily_blue]

I remember a clip of a TV show or a movie where two men (father and son, maybe?) were telling a woman (the mother?) about wine aromas. She had thought that they were added flavors, but they explained that it was from the winemaking process. Can anyone help me remember where this was from? EDIT: Figured it out. Please Like Me S4E4

[@kingplunger1]

Thats the optimistic theory. Most wine is not the ideal though

[@Aloyz3n]

I was wondering that about beer, lemon? carmel? honey? dark bread? and I started reading about it and well... can't say I can smell that chocolate I was promised but every beer now sure tastes like wet bread.... so there is that

[@isacsatoshi5803]

Can I make a question? This channel will be available in other languages like minutephysics and minuteearth do?

[@MinuteFood]

Great question...if we get enough viewers, we'll definitely have translations channels in the future!

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

I wonder if plastic has a taste/aroma

[@PercabethYessss]

How os there “88” comments but KZbin wont open them but i can, type????? Is this just me, is there actually comments or not?

[@Finian1]

did the cat eatsome of the food

[@morphanage]

Cannabis mimics other plant terpenes, in fact, the terpenes in Cannabis provide all the strain specific impacts: couch lock, munchies, high energy, ect.

[@RoseDragoness]

I have a cat, I forgot what the smell of cat pee.

[@ronaldiplodicus]

Mmmmm.... It tastes... red.

[@Deeer69420]

Imagine it’s real cat pee

[@TysonJensen]

Small nit, no cat would be happy sitting in a pool of its own pee, you’re thinking of dogs. 🐶

[@jonathanwilliams1065]

Cat piss is beer not wine

[@MinuteFood]

Some of the same pee-y compounds can also get made as beer ferments!

[@Eleora1997Msia]

i don't like the smell of cat pee i feel headache ... wine smell much better than that

[@lzl4226]

So umm...... how does someone know a wine taste like cat pee unless........

[@蘇小郁-n2y]

Why is sugar sweet. This is a good idea for you, I don’t know it.

[@LeonBlack666]

Why would someone know how cat pee tastes and smells like?

[@ultraapple3997]

Wine is pee-plex... (bad pun)

[@theuncalledfor]

The vile flavour of rot comes from the fact that this "wine" is actually disgusting, rotten grape juice that should be thrown out.

[@deadbrav]

woah

[@kingplunger1]

Have you actually seen how most is made ? How much gets filtered out and artificially added back in ? Having seen how most wine is made, I would rather have the cat piss, thx...

[@KuruGDI]

Is people describing the taste of their wine's taste like cat piss really a thing? (Or _goût d'urine de chat_ as they may call it)

[@hopsiepike]

Yes. Sauvignon Blanc in particular is notorious for that.
