Abstract: At present, the wine market in China is becoming more and more prosperous, and the quality of wine has increasingly become the primary concern of consumers. Cork taint is one of the common factors affecting the quality of wine, which seriously damages the flavor of wine. The detection of cork taint is difficult because of its large variety and low content. Therefore, the establishment and improvement of wine cork taint detection technology system will help strengthen the quality and safety control of wine, promote industrial development, and provide technical support for the improvement of corresponding regulatory capabilities. This paper discusses the research progress on detection techniques of wine cork taint in domestic and overseas, and focuses on the methods of concentration extraction and instrument detection. At the same time, it compares the advantages and disadvantages of detection methods, and provides a reference for the further development of cork taint detection technology.
