title: Properties and use of sulphur dioxide.
abstract: This work analyses comprehensively the mechanism of action of sulphur dioxide in the process of wine-making. The use of sulphur dioxide is still a necessity for the storage and preservation of white wines. Nevertheless, the study of its physico-chemical and antimicrobial properties can make possible a large reduction of doses used even for white wines.
