Enhancing blueberry wine aroma: Insights from cultivar selection and berry sorting.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to improve the aroma quality of blueberry wine by employing cultivar selection and precise berry sorting. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of volatile profiles in blueberry wines derived from nine cultivars commonly cultivated in the middle region of China. 'Misty' and 'V3' blueberry wines exhibited pronounced floral aromas, closely linked to elevated terpenoid and phenylacetaldehyde content. 'Legacy' and 'Star' displayed a distinct fruity aroma profile attributed to the presence of ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, ethyl phenylacetate, and diethyl succinate. 'Jewel' featured an intense buttery aroma, correlated with higher concentrations of ethyl dodecanoate, ethyl decanoate, and ethyl octanoate. Subsequently, 'Misty' and 'Star', with distinct aroma profiles, were selected to
