Synonym for the wine defect cheeses; see there.
This wine defect mainly occurs in white wine or sparkling wine that is exposed to light, especially UV light, over a longer period of time. Wines in light-coloured, transparent bottles are particularly at risk, which is why wines in dark bottles are better protected. There are already UV light-impermeable white bottles made from a special glass. It is also known as "light flavour"...
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
