Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wine is a worldwide beverage well known for its complex chemical composition. An understanding of the chemical and physico-chemical mechanisms linked to this composition is the key criterion for the winemaker to guarantee the consumer the quality, stability, and typicality of the final wine. The chemical composition of wine results from the biochemical mechanisms in grape, the chemical modifications occurring during the fermentation influenced by the metabolism of yeasts and bacteria, and the chemical and physico-chemical changes occurring during maturation, stabilization treatments and aging in the bottle, and conditions throughout the wine supply chain until consumption.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts focusing on advances in wine chemistry in topics such as (i) characterization of wine composition and evolution in respect to viticultural practices in the context of climate changes; (ii) new outcomes in wine chemicals from alcoholic fermentation, stabilization treatments and aging due to minimized impacts in the additions of additives and adjuvants; (iii) wine sensory properties related to its chemical composition and evolution; (iv) new analytical techniques with which to elucidate wine composition such as the metabolomic and chemometric approach; (v) wine chemical markers to be controlled through automation and digitalization in winemaking.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
