Geographical classification of some Australian wines by discriminant analysis using HPLC with UV and chemiluminescence detection.
HPLC with UV and acidified potassium permanganate chemiluminescence detection, combined with multivariate data analysis techniques, were used for the geographical classification of some Australian red (Cabernet Sauvignon) and white (Chardonnay) wines from two regions (Coonawarra and Geelong). Identification of the wine constituents prominent in the chromatography was performed by mass spectrometry. Principal components analysis and linear discriminant analysis were used to classify the wines according to region of production. Separation between regions was achieved with both detection systems and key components leading to discrimination of the wines were identified. Using two principal components, linear discriminant analysis with UV detection correctly classified 100% of the Chardonnay wines and, overall 91% of the Cabernet Sauvignon wines. With acidified potassium permanganate chemiluminescence detection, 75% of the Chardonnay wines and 94% of the Cabernet Sauvignon wines were correctly classified using two factors.
