FORWARD In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1 Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with wine is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a nonsystematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about wine, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related to wine, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on wine. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet. While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to wine, these are noted in the text. E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser. You may find it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases. NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional. However, some links may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet. For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources. For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided. For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given. We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on wine. The Editors

CHAPTER 1. STUDIES ON WINE Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to locate peer-reviewed references and studies on wine.

The Combined Health Information Database The Combined Health Information Database summarizes studies across numerous federal agencies. To limit your investigation to research studies and wine, you will need to use the advanced search options. First, go to http://chid.nih.gov/index.html. From there, select the “Detailed Search” option (or go directly to that page with the following hyperlink: http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html). The trick in extracting studies is found in the drop boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Journal Article.” At the top of the search form, select the number of records you would like to see (we recommend 100) and check the box to display “whole records.” We recommend that you type “wine” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. Consider using the option “anywhere in record” to make your search as broad as possible. If you want to limit the search to only a particular field, such as the title of the journal, then select this option in the “Search in these fields” drop box. The following is what you can expect from this type of search: •

Effect of Evening Alcohol Consumption on Next-Morning Glucose Control in Type 1 Diabetes Source: Diabetes Care. 24(11): 1888-1893. November 2001. Contact: Available from American Diabetes Association. 1701 North Beauregard Street, Alexandria, VA 22311. (800) 232-3472. Website: www.diabetes.org. Summary: Alcohol is associated with acute hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) in patients with type 1 diabetes. After drinking alcohol in the evening, delayed hypoglycemia has also been described, although its cause is unknown. This article reports on a controlled study to investigate this phenomenon. The authors admitted six men with type 1 diabetes (aged 19 to 51 years) on two occasions, from 5:00 P.M. to 12:00 noon the following day. The men received regular insulin injections before standardized

meals, at 6:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M., and a basal insulin infusion from 11:00 P.M. The men drank either dry white wine or mineral water at 9:00 P.M. over 90 minutes. Blood glucose, alcohol, insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, and glucagon levels were measured. Blood ethanol reached a mean peak of 19.1 mmol per liter and was undetectable by 8:00 A.M. There were no significant differentces in evening or overnight blood glucose levels between the studies. In the morning, fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were significantly lower after consumption of wine and from 10:00 A.M., five subjects required treatment for hypoglycemia. None of the subjects had hypoglycemia after consumption of water. After consumption of wine, growth hormone secretion was significantly reduced between midnight and 4:00 A.M. There were no differences in insulin or other hormone levels. The authors conclude that in type 1 diabetes, moderate consumption of alcohol in the evening may predispose patients to hypoglycemia after breakfast the next morning. This is associated with reduced nocturnal growth hormone secretion. Patients should be informed of this risk and advised regarding appropriate preventative measures. 3 figures. 1 tables. 29 references. •

Beverage Use and Risk for Kidney Stones in Women Source: Annals of Internal Medicine. 128(7): 534-540. April 1, 1998. Summary: An increase in fluid intake is routinely recommended for patients who have had kidney stones to decrease the likelihood of recurrence. However, data on the effect of particular beverages on stone formation in women are limited. This article reports on a study undertaken to examine the association between the intake of 17 beverages and risk for kidney stones in women. The prospective cohort study included 8 years of followup. The participants were 81,093 women in the Nurses Health Study who were 40 to 65 years of age in 1986 and had no history of kidney stones. Beverage use and diet were assessed in 1986 and 1990 with validated, self-administered food frequency questionnaire. The main outcome measure was incident symptomatic kidney stones. During 553,081 person-years of followup over the 8 year period, 719 cases of kidney stones were documented. After risk factors other than fluid intake were controlled for, the relative risk for stone formation for women in the highest quintile of total fluid intake compared with women in the lowest quintile was 0.62. Inclusion of consumption of specific beverages in the multivariate model significantly added to prediction of risk for kidney stones. In a model that adjusted simultaneously for the 17 beverages and other possible risk factors, risk for stone formation decreased by the following amount for each 8 ounce serving consumed daily: 10 percent for caffeinated coffee, 9 percent for decaffeinated coffee, 8 percent for tea, and 59 percent for wine. In contrast, a 44 percent increase in risk was seen for each 8 ounce serving of grapefruit juice consumed daily. The authors note that the observed protective effect of caffeinated coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages may be mediated through their effect on urinary concentration. Caffeine increases flow of a more dilute urine by interfering with the action of antidiuretic hormone on the distal nephron, thus decreasing risk for crystal formation. However, this beneficial effect may be partly offset by the increase in urinary calcium excretion caused by caffeine. The authors conclude that an increase in total fluid intake can reduce risk for kidney stones, and the choice of beverage may be meaningful. 3 tables. 32 references. (AA-M).

Let's Talk: Vinegars Source: Lifeline. 10(4): 7-8. Fall 1992. Contact: Available from Celiac Sprue Association/United States of America, Inc. CSA/USE, Inc. P.O. Box 31700, Omaha, NE 68131-0700. (402) 558-0600. Summary: In this article, the authors provide information about vinegars and their place in the diets of people with celiac disease. Topics covered include food labeling; types of vinegars, including cider vinegar, malt vinegars, rice and rice wine vinegars, wine vinegars, traditional balsamic vinegar, and modern balsamic vinegar; and vinegars available from certain manufacturers, including Heinz USA, Pet, Inc., Spectrum Marketing, and kosher vinegars. The authors conclude by reporting on a survey of 105 manufacturers and distributors; and present the results on the fifteen returned surveys. The authors reiterate that product information from manufacturers may or may not be accurate and that food products can vary from batch to batch.

Dietary Patterns Predict the Development of Overweight in Women: The Framingham Nutrition Studies Source: Journal of the American Dietetic Association. 102(9):1240-1246. September 2002. Summary: In this longitudinal study, the authors investigated relationships between dietary patterns and development of overweight (defined as a body mass index [BMI] of 25 or greater) using a 145-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Study participants included 737 non-overweight women and 5 dietary patterns were identified among the cohort at baseline: heart healthy, light eating, wine and moderate eating, high fat, and empty calorie. Over 12 years, the risk of becoming overweight was 29 percent overall, ranging from 22 percent of women in the wine and moderate eating cluster to 41 percent of women in the empty calorie cluster. Women who ate an empty calorie diet that was rich in sweets and fats with fewer servings of nutrient- dense fruits, vegetables, and lean food choices were at higher risk for developing overweight than those on a heart healthy, low-fat diet.

Prospective Study of Beverage Use and the Risk of Kidney Stones Source: American Journal of Epidemiology. 143(3): 240-247. February 1, 1996. Summary: Patients with kidney stones are routinely advised to increase their fluid intake to decrease the risk of stone recurrence. However, there has been no detailed examination to determine whether the effect on recurrence varies by the type of beverages consumed. In this article, the authors report on their prospective study of the relation between the intake of 21 different beverages and the risk of symptomatic kidney stones in a cohort of 45, 289 men, 40 to 75 years of age, who had no history of kidney stones. During 6 years of followup, 753 incident cases of kidney stones were documented. After adjusting for other variables, consumption of specific beverages significantly added to the prediction of kidney stone risk. The risk of stone formation decreased by the following amount for each 240ml (8 oz) serving consumed daily: caffeinated coffee, 10 percent; decaffeinated coffee, 10 percent; tea, 14 percent; beer, 21

percent; and wine, 39 percent. For each 240ml serving consumed daily, the risk of stone formation increased by 35 percent for apple juice and 37 percent for grapefruit juice. 3 tables. 30 references. (AA-M). •

How Italians Stay Slim Source: Prevention. 54(4): 60. April 2002. Summary: The authors discuss four differences between the eating habits of Italians living in Rome, Italy, and Italian-Americans living in Rome, New York. First, Italians eat only at meals. When they do snack, it is typically on fruit or nuts. The New York Italians eat corn chips, pretzels, and crackers, as well as fast food. Second, Italians eat salads consisting of dark, leafy greens that are served before dessert. In New York, salads consist mainly of nutrient-poor iceberg lettuce. Third, the principle source of fat in the Italian diet is olive oil, high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. Italian food in the United States is high in saturated fat from cheese, fatty meats, and Italian bread served with butter. Lastly, dessert in Italy is fresh fruit served plain or in a wine or balsamic vinegar marinade sweetened lightly with sugar. Dessert in New York is Italian cookies and pastries. A sidebar compares the health status of Italians with Italian-Americans, including rates of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

Light to Moderate Alcohol Consumption: Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome Source: American Journal of Bariatric Medicine-The Bariatrician. 17(4):11-14. Winter 2002. Summary: The authors of this article examined the relationship between alcohol consumption, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Previous research by the authors found that improved insulin sensitivity was associated with alcohol consumption and greater weight loss among alcohol drinkers following laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) surgery. The article reviews the potential health benefits associated with light to moderate alcohol consumption with respect to reduced mortality and myocardial infarction. Alcohol also appears to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In addition, studies have shown a relationship between alcohol consumption and lower gains in waist-to- hip ratios and greater weight stability. For obese patients who consume alcohol, the authors recommend choosing smaller quantities of lower calorie alcoholic beverages, such as wine with meals, and avoiding binge drinking and drinking that may lead to uncontrolled eating. To reduce the risk of dependence, they recommend 1 or 2 alcohol-free days per week. The researchers conclude that light to moderate alcohol consumption should not be discouraged in the severely obese.

Birth of the Modern Diet Source: Scientific American. 283(2):76-81. August 2000. Summary: This article describes the origins of modern Western cooking. Before 1650, the prevailing dietary wisdom was that the process of digesting foods was actually a form of cooking and that health was preserved by maintaining a proper equilibrium of bodily fluids by eating a suitably balanced diet. Doctors and chefs of the time believed that four fluids circulated in the body: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Foods were assigned degrees of heat, coldness, wetness, and dryness. After 1650, physicians began to think that digestion involved fermentation rather than cooking. Fermentation turned grains and fruits into bread, beer, and wine, which the digestive system could ferment further. These changes in the understanding of the digestive process changed the way cooks prepared food. Chefs now welcomed oysters, anchovies, green vegetables,

mushrooms, and fruits because they fermented so readily and thus did not need complicated preparation in the kitchen to be predigested. As cooks incorporated fresh produce into their dishes, horticultural and botanical gardens became popular. Sugar, which previously was freely added to many dishes, now fell out of favor and was served only in desserts. Alcoholic spirits were regarded as useful medicines. The Western cuisine born in the 17th century has long outlived the dietary theory that inspired it. •

Increasing Portion Sizes in American Diets: More Calories, More Obesity Source: Journal of the American Dietetic Association. 102(12):39-40. January 2003. Summary: This article discusses the results of two recent studies on food serving sizes. The first study, published in the 'American Journal of Public Health' by Young and Nestle, found that portion sizes of many foods have increased since the mid-1980s with a consequent increase in calories consumed. A study by Smiciklas-Wright (CHID record 4313) compared the results of the 1989 to 1991 and 1994 to 1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) and found that respondents consumed larger portions of nearly one-third of the 107 foods examined within a 5-year period. The author, using data from the Smiciklas-Wright research and standard food composition tables, estimated that CSFII respondents increased the portion sizes of orange juice by 1 ounce (15 calories), fruit drinks by 2 ounces (30 calories), wine by 1.5 ounces (30 calories), and beer by eight ounces (96 calories). An increase of 25 calories from soft drinks alone comes to more than 9,000 calories per year, representing a 3-pound weight gain. The factors driving increasing portion sizes are discussed. The author concludes that if the obesity epidemic is to be reversed, increased portion sizes and extra calories must be considered.

Get Your Disease Fighters From Food Source: Health. p. 20. January/February 2001. Summary: This article recommends getting beta-carotene, an antioxidant, and flavonoids, a group of powerful antioxidants, from food rather than supplements. Research indicates that when beta-carotene is taken in pill form, the risk of cancer increases even though eating foods high in this antioxidant lowers cancer and heart disease risk. Now scientists are concerned that flavonoid supplements may also be risky. Martyn Smith, a toxicologist at the University of California at Berkeley, reviewed the research on flavonoids. He found evidence that in food sources such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and wine, the nutrients protect against heart disease and cancer. However, there were no studies demonstrating the safety or efficacy of supplements. Taking the amount suggested by some flavonoid supplement manufacturers could cause more harm than good, according to Smith. Until more is known, he advises sticking with flavonoid-rich foods such as onions and apples.

Food Allergies Source: Nutrition Action Healthletter. 28(3): 10-13. April 2001. Contact: Available from CSPI. 1875 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20009. Fax (202) 265-4954. E-mail: [email protected]. Website: www.cspinet.org. Summary: This article reviews food allergies and food intolerances. Food allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to certain proteins in food. Although more than 200 food ingredients can provoke an allergic reaction, the vast majority are caused by eight ingredients: nuts (like walnuts and almonds), peanuts (which are legumes), milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, soybeans, and wheat. Typical symptoms are nausea, hives, skin rash, nasal congestion, and wheezing. For most people with food allergies, allergic reactions to food are a temporary discomfort, but for many the result is anaphylactic shock, a quick reaction in which their throats may swell enough to cut off breathing. The author reviews the typical pattern of a study of 32 fatal reactions; all but two reactions were triggered by peanuts or nuts. Most of the victims were teenagers or young adults who had asthma, and most knew that they suffered from food allergies; 27 ate the food away from home, and only three were carrying emergency self injectable epinephrine. Most reactions to food are caused not by allergies but by intolerances, which are less severe. The author reviews intolerances to lactose (milk sugar), sulfites, monosodium glutamate (MSG), red wine, chocolate, and food colors. The article concludes with a discussion of four reminders regarding food allergies: offending foods may show up where they are not expected; trace amounts can trigger a reaction; foods can be contaminated with allergens; and labels do not have to disclose allergens in flavors. Appended to the article is a list of websites and resource organizations for readers wishing to obtain additional information. 1 figure. 6 references.

Detecting Hereditary Hemochromatosis Source: Nurse Practitioner. 25(7): 64, 69, 73-74, 76. July 2000. Contact: Available from Nurse Practitioner. Circulation Department, P.O. Box 5053, Brentwood, TN 37024-5053. (800) 490-6580. Fax (615) 377-0525. Summary: This article reviews the diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), the most commonly inherited autosomal recessive disorder. Hemochromatosis is a current or potential progression of abnormally high accumulations of iron in the liver. If left untreated, the condition can lead to chronic or irreversible hepatic (liver) fibrosis, cirrhosis (scarring), hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), arthritis, and organ failure. Common signs and symptoms seen in the primary care setting include fatigue, weakness, abdominal pain, palpitations, skin pigmentation (coloring) changes, and arthropathy, but any symptom associated with organ damage may be reported. Because prompt intervention can cease or reverse the debilitating effects of iron overload, prompt disease diagnosis and treatments are imperative. The author notes that often an HH diagnosis is delayed in asymptomatic patients or patients with vague complaints of fatigue and arthropathy. The goal is to identify patients prior to symptom onset and organ damage; recent gene typing studies have made this a possibility. Early manifestations of HH include vague symptoms of weakness, fatigue, weight loss, skin pigmentation changes, abdominal pain, loss of libido, and diabetes mellitus symptoms. Advanced physical signs include liver and spleen enlargement, skin pigmentation changes, spider angiomas, arthropathy, ascites, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, testicular atrophy, and jaundice. Because HH is an inherited disorder, the family history should be specific and complete. Routine assays are the most commonly used testing. A definitive diagnosis is made via liver biopsy. Patients with HH should be instructed to

increase their dietary protein, as hemoglobin is 96 percent protein; folic acid of 1 mg daily will assist in hemoglobin formation. Vitamin or mineral supplements that contain iron should be avoided. And because alcohol is a hepatotoxin and wine contains iron, alcohol should be avoided. 1 figure. 31 references. •

Risk Factors for Dementia: the Paquid Experience Source: Alzheimer's Reports. 1(Supplement 1): S9-S11. November 1998. Summary: This journal article discusses Paquid (Personne Age QUID), a French study specifically designed to examine normal and pathological brain aging. The authors review the methodology, sample, data collection, and results of this study that analyzed known risk factors (age, gender, level of education). The following factors were found to be associated with a higher incidence of dementia: low level of education, living in an area with high levels of aluminum in the drinking water, being single, having a low weight or low height, and not having any leisure activities. The following factors were found to be associated with a lower risk of dementia: high level of education, living in an area with a high level of silica in the drinking water, being married, and having moderate wine consumption. The following factors showed no association: APOE4 allele, history of head trauma, history of dementia in relatives, diabetes, history of coronary heart disease, and consumption of NSAIDs. An interaction was found between wine and tobacco consumption. The authors state that methodological considerations may explain these findings. 3 references.

End of Alzheimer's Disease? Source: International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. 14: 577-586. 1999. Summary: This journal article explores the prospect for an end to Alzheimer's disease (AD). It introduces two themes derived from an understanding of AD as an extended degenerative process predominantly under genetic control but with possible environmental influences. One theme concerns the finite risk period for AD that appears to have an end in extreme old age. The second theme concerns the identification of preventive strategies which may eliminate or reduce the present morbidity of AD. In addressing these themes, the author first examines the genetics of AD, the incidence of AD in late old age, and environmental influences on the risk of AD. Then, he looks at five interventions which have shown promise for preventing AD, possibly through delay of onset: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy, anti-oxidant vitamins, histamine H2 blocking drugs, and red wine. The author concludes that the end of AD is not imminent, but it may be in sight. 7 figures, 1 table, 44 references.

Project Title: ALCOHOL TAXES: PRICES, CONSUMPTION, TRAFFIC FATALITIES Principal Investigator & Institution: Young, Douglas J.; Agricultural Economics & Econ; Montana State University (Bozeman) Bozeman, Mt 59717 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 01-SEP-2001; Project End 31-AUG-2003 Summary: (provided by applicant): The central purpose of this study is to estimate the effects of alcohol taxes on consumption and traffic fatalities. Our approach improves on most previous work in three ways. First, we carefully examine the available data on taxes and beverage prices. We assess their reliability by comparing them to detailed Consumer Price Indices for beer, wine, and spirits, and by performing formal statistical tests. Second, we estimate separate relationships between taxes and prices, prices and consumption, and consumption and fatalities. Specifically, we estimate the extent to which alcohol taxes are passed forward to beverage prices, the extent to which consumers respond by decreasing consumption, and the effects of reduced consumption on fatalities. Third, we estimate the degree to which increases in the price of one beverage cause consumers to substitute other beverages, and thus, the effectiveness of tax increases in reducing total alcohol consumption. For example, increased spirits taxes may cause consumers to increase their consumption of beer or wine. Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen

Project Title: ALTERATIONS IN AIRWAY SURFACE LIQUID IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS Principal Investigator & Institution: Widdicombe, Jonathan H.; Professor; Physiology; University of California San Francisco 500 Parnassus Ave San Francisco, Ca 94122 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 01-SEP-1998; Project End 31-AUG-2003 Summary: The proposed SCOR will test two basic hypothesis to explain the CF-related modifications in airway surface liquid (ASL) that lead to colonization by Pseudomonas. The serous cell malfunction hypothesis proposes that serous cells in the submucosal glands of large airways and on the surface of small airways show reduced secretion of fluid and antibiotics in CF. The resulting decreased levels of serous cell antibiotics and increased mucin concentrations in ASL favor pathogen colonization. The high salt hypothesis proposes that human airway epithelium absorbs Na and Cl, that a substantial fraction of Cl absorption occurs by an transcellular route, and that block of this route by malfunction of CFTR promotes higher than normal NaCl content of ASL in CF. A less likely possibility is that elevated NaCl levels in CF ASL are caused by saltier than normal gland secretions resulting from failure of ductal salt absorption. High salt content of ASL may encourage Pseudomonas colonization by inhibiting the action of natural antibiotics. Project 1 (Widdicombe/Bastacky) will use low-temperature scanning

electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis of rapidly frozen tissues to determine how the regulation of ASL depth is altered in CF. Salt and mucin content of ASL and gland changes in depth, composition and viscosity of ASL in living tissues using novel fluorescence microscopy. Project 3 (Wine) will study the secretory mechanisms contributing to the ASL, and test specifically the serous cell malfunction hypothesis. Project 4 (Miller) will determine the routes and mechanisms by which Na and Cl are absorbed across airway surface epithelium. Nasal PD measurements will be used to verify in vitro findings. A Cell Culture Core (Finkbeiner) will provide intact human airways and cultures of human gland and surface epithelial cells. Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen •

Project Title: ARE ALCOHOL TAX HIKES FULLY PASSED THROUGH TO PRICES? Principal Investigator & Institution: Kenkel, Donald S.; Interim Director and Associate Professor; National Bureau of Economic Research Cambridge, Ma 02138 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-AUG-2003; Project End 31-JUL-2005 Summary: (provided by applicant): The State of Alaska is about to: increase taxes on malt beverages from $0.35 per gallon to $1.07 per gallon; increase taxes on wine from $0.85 per gallon to $2.50 per gallon; and increase taxes on spirits from $5.60 per gallon to $12.50 per gallon. The net effect of the legislated changes is that a standard drink of beer, wine or spirits will be taxed at approximately 10 cents per standard drink. The proposed innovative research project will take advantage of this time-limited opportunity to study a very basic question: What is the impact of the tax hike on the prices of alcoholic beverages? The project's first specific aim is to describe comprehensively the impact of the Alaskan tax hike on alcoholic beverage prices. We will compare prices before and after the tax hike to determine the extent to which the tax increases prices on average and whether it changed the range of prices. The average and range of prices will be examined before and after the tax hike: (1) across beverage types (beer, wine, spirits); (2) across brands; and (3) across premise type (on-premise, off-premise). The project's second specific aim is to conduct a preliminary investigation of the extent to which the impact of the tax hike on prices varies due to different market conditions. Economic research on tax shifting suggests the hypothesis that taxes are passed through to prices at different rates depending upon market competitiveness. Econometric analysis of prices before and after the tax hike will be conducted to test two predictions: a) that the tax hike is fully passed through to consumer prices in competitive local retail markets, and b) that the tax hike is passed through to prices at a different rate in imperfectly competitive local retail markets. To complete the project's specific aims, the research team will collect primary data on alcoholic beverage prices in the State of Alaska. We propose to conduct a telephone survey of the census of on-premise and off-premise alcohol retail establishments in that State. The proposed survey will be identical to a survey currently in progress that will provide data on alcoholic beverage prices before the tax hike. Because so little is known about the impact of an alcohol tax hike on prices, these exploratory data and the preliminary analysis will be informative for policy and for future research in alcohol studies and economics.

Principal Investigator & Institution: Parks, Dale A.; Professor; University of Alabama at Birmingham Uab Station Birmingham, Al 35294 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-JUL-2003; Project End 30-JUN-2008 Summary: The endothelial dysfunction associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and aging, results in a predisposition to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic lesion formation involves a complex interaction between mononuclear cells and vascular endothelium that leads to the characteristic stages of the human disease can be mimicked in a mouse apoE model of atherosclerosis. Epidemiologic and accumulating experimental evidence indicates that moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages, in particular red wine, decreases the incidence of cardiovascular disease as well as the mortality associated with myocardial infarction. Preliminary data show that (1) polyphenols enhance post-ischemic myocardial function; (2) polyphenols interfere with monocyte adherence to mouse endothelial cells; (3) both alcohol and polyphenols increase the expression of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) mRNA and protein in the vasculature; (4) cells transfected with the full length eNOS promoter respond to both alcohol and polyphenols by increased activity; (5) the bioavailability of.NO may also be increased by induction of superoxide dismutases (SOD); and (6) that the increased bioavailability of.NO may be responsible for the cardiovascular protection associated with moderate alcohol consumption. These data have led to the hypothesis that "alcohol and/or polyphenol induced increase in nitric oxide (.NO) bioavailability is a critical event in the attenuation of the vascular dysfunction and lesion formation in a mouse model of atherosclerosis". This hypothesis will be tested by completion of the following Specific Aims: (1) determining the role of ethanol and polyphenols in attenuating the altered vascular function and development of morphologic lesions in an apolipoprotein E-deficient mouse model of atherogenesis; (2) defining the molecular mechanism(s) of the alcohol and polyphenol-induced increase in NO bioavailability and altered vascular function; and (3) identification of the regulatory region(s) in the promoter and 5' flanking region of the eNOS gene responsive to ethanol and polyphenols and characterization of the transcription factor(s) that mediate the ethanoland/or polyphenol- induced increased eNOS expression. Completion of these specific aims will provide insight into the mechanisms by which alcohol and polyphenols lead to increased.NO and role that these.NO-dependent mechanisms play in attenuation of vascular dysfunction and lesion formation associated with atherosclerosis.

Our preliminary studies have demonstrated that the cardioprotective effects of alcoholic beverages result from both alcohol and nonalcoholic components (red wine polyphenols). However, the exact molecular

mechanisms of how alcohol and polyphenols result in cardioprotection have not been fully elucidated. The overall programmatic theme of this Program Project Grant application is to further identify/define the molecular regulatory mechanisms that underlie this low ethanol- or polyphenol-induced cardioprotection. The overall goal of Tissue Culture and Plasmid Preparation Core Unit (Core B) is to better ensure high quality research, consistency, facilitate the optimal functioning and collaborative interaction between individual Program Project Grant research projects and investigators. Core B will provide Program Project investigators with cultured mammalian cell types and relevant plasmid DNA for their individual research projects in a highly cost effective, reproducible and efficient manner. These core unit support functions will alleviate Program Project Grant investigators of the logistic responsibilities, labor-intensive culture/maintenance of mammalian cell types and expansion and purification of the relevant plasmid DNA required by the each project. Core Unit B will routinely provide cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs), human coronary endothelial cells and cultured mouse endothelial cells to Projects 1 ("Ethanol and Polyphenolic Induced Endothelial Fibrinolysis", Booyse, years 1-5), 2 ("Regulation of PAI-1 Gene Expression by Ethanol and Polyphenols", Grenett, years 1-5) and 3; ("Cardiovascular Protection by Ethanol and Polyphenols", Parks, years 1-5); human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to project 3 (years 1-5) and adult mouse heart muscle cells to Project 4 ("Mitochondria and Cardioprotection by Ethanol and Polyphenols", Darley-Usmar, years 1-5). Core B will also routinely expand and purify relevant plasmid DNA to provide Program Project Grant projects (Projects 1 [years 1-5]; Project 2 [years 1-5]; Project 3 [years 1-5] and Project 4 [years 1-2]) for in-situ hybridizations (t-PA, u-PA, PAI-1, u-PAR, Ann-II, alphaenolase eNOS, iNOS, CuZnSOD, MnSOD); Real-Time PCR (PAs, PARs, PAL1, vitronectin, eNOS, iNOS, MnSOD, CuZnSOD); nuclear run-on assays (u-PAR, Ann II, alpha-enolase, e-NOS, iNOS, MnSOD, CuZnSOD); luciferase constructs for transient transfection assays (t-PA, u-PA, PAI-1); luciferase mutagenesis constructs (PAI-1) and expression vectors for transcription factors.

Project Title: DAILY SELF-REPORTED DRINKING--LONGITUDINAL PATTERNS Principal Investigator & Institution: Perrine, M W.; Director and Senior Scientist; Addiction Research Institute 441 Water Tower Circle Colchester, Vt 05446 Timing: Fiscal Year 2002; Project Start 01-JUN-1996; Project End 30-NOV-2002 Summary: The proposed research is an in-depth, longitudinal study of a nonclinical sample investigating: (1) dynamics of daily alcohol consumption patterns over a 2-year period, and the biopsychosocial correlates of those dynamics; (2) natural history of criteria-based alcohol problems; and (3) associated dimensions related to identification of biochemical markers and specific risk factors for alcohol abuse and dependence. Goals: (1) Identify and quantify stable patterns of drinking, and (2) identify specific factors associated with perturbations in those patterns. Results from these studies could have a significant impact from both public health and public safety perspectives by: (1) specifying the conditions for the stability and change in drinking and symptom patterns (including alcohol dependence) over time, (2) providing a detailed prospective record of daily drinking, and (3) affording the opportunity to assess accurately the specificity and sensitivity of biochemical state markers of alcohol consumption: Also, these results will add substantially to scientific knowledge concerning: (1) subclinical symptomatology; (2) influences of life stressors on psychosocial functioning and alcohol consumption, and how these three classes of variables are interrelated; and (3) consistency and change in

patterns of alcohol use. Method: Actively drinking male and female subjects recruited through newspaper advertisements will report consumption and other relevant information daily for 2 years using an automated Interactive Voice Response telephone system. Equal thirds of the subjects will be: (1) symptom free, (2) exhibit 1 to 2 DSM-IV alcohol abuse/dependence symptoms, and (3) manifest 3 to 5 symptoms. Daily data will be gathered on: quantity of beer, wine, liquor, and cigarettes; ratings of intoxication and while driving, general mood, stress, and physical health; and location of drinking (or reasons for not drinking). Subjects will be evaluated quarterly for development of or reduction in alcoholic symptomatology. Blood assays will be obtained every quarter for the 2-year period of daily reporting to determine the reliability and validity of two promising, recently-identified state markers of alcohol abuse (hemoglobin- acetaldehyde adducts and carbohydrate-deficient transferrin) relative to more traditional but nonspecific markers. Long-term objectives: Data obtained will be used to specify with greater reliability a number of highly relevant public health and public safety concerns. Since most Americans with alcohol problems are never treated, results of this study using subjects unselected for treatment-seeking should be especially meaningful for a broad spectrum of the drinking public. Data generated from this research should provide particularly useful insights into the evolution and fluctuations of symptomatology in a heavy drinking, nontreatment sample.

Project Title: EFFECTS OF RED & WHITE WINE ON CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 ACTIVITY IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL Principal Investigator & Institution: Tsunoda, Shirley; New England Medical Center Hospitals 750 Washington St Boston, Ma 021111533 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001 Summary: Our recent study found that red wine causes significant decreases in cyclosporine exposure. This study will determine if white wine also affects cyclosporine pharmacokinetics. In addition, we will investigate the effect of continuous dosing of red and white wine on cyclosporine disposition. This study will investigate twenty-four healthy volunteers in a randomized, two-arm study. Subjects will be randomized to group A (white wine) or Group B (red wine). A single 8 mg/kg oral dose of cyclosporine will be given with water and white or red wine on separate occasions and blood will be drawn over 24 hours for a pharmacokinetic profile. Subjects will then consume a 12 oz glass of white or red wine once a day for 7 days and a pharmacokinetic profile will be obtained. Whole blood levels will be analyzed by a specific fluorescence polarization immunoassay; and the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine will be compared both within and between groups.

cardioprotective effects of alcohol on endothelial cell(EC)-mediated fibrinolysis and has presented his research at several national meetings. His proposal will define the relationship between red wine phenolic compounds and sustained increases of EC mediated fibrinolysis, which may contribute, in part, to cardioprotection. Since the reduced risk for CAD has been attributed to moderate red wine consumption, which may be due to the combined effects of ethanol and the antioxidant potential or other effects of phenolic compounds in wine. It is conceivable that selected wine phenolic compounds, resveratrol, quercetin and catechin may have additional properties which may affect EC function in the long-term, in particular fibrinolysis, independent of their direct short-term antioxidant properties. These preliminary studies were carried out to determine whether select wine phenolics may, in fact, induce the expression of either tPA and/or u-PA, resulting in a significant sustained increased expression of EC fibrinolytic activity. Wine phenolic-induced increased surface-localized EC fibrinolytic activity (preliminary studies) may be expected to decrease thrombotic risk. Selected wine phenolics will exert a sustained long-term (24 h) increase in EC fibrinolysis by increasing the catalytic efficiency of surface-localized plasmin generation (ligand binding) (Aim 1) resulting from the transcriptional upregulation of t-PA and u-PA gene expression(transcription run-on, transfection)(Aim 2) through factor(s) that bind to specific cis-acting regulatory region(s) in the PAs promoters(promoter deletion analysis) (Aim 3). UAB, Department of Medicine and DCD will provide the research space, facilities, resources (secretarial support and office space) and appropriate time commitment (75 percent) to allow the candidate to conduct and accomplish the research goals set forth in this application. He will have no administrative or teaching duties during the period of this application. If his faculty sponsor were to leave the institution, a new sponsor will be appointed and his continued development toward becoming an independent physician, scientist will be supported and encouraged.

Project Title: FREQ RESOLVED NEAR TOMOGRAPHY OF BURNS & CUTANEOUS

INFRARED

REFLECTANCE

Principal Investigator & Institution: Svaasand, Lars O.; University of California Irvine Campus Dr Irvine, Ca 92697 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001 Summary: Optical techniques represent a valuable tool for non-invasive investigation of in vivo tissue properties and imaging of tissue structures. Diffuse light reflected from a tissue contains not only information on the properties of the tissue surface, but also information on tissue structures residing at depths of several millimeters. Such information is important for several clinical situations, e.g., in determining the depth and size of Port-wine stain vessels, the thickness of nodular basal cell carcinoma or the depth of necrosis in a burn. The aim is to develop a non-contact, near-infrared technique for tomographic mapping of a tissue surface with information of tissue properties to depths of 5-10 mm. This kind of information is important for establishing a proper protocol for various clinical modalities. One example can be to determine the depth of nodular basal cell carcinomas, where this information of depth is important for determining a proper drug and light dose for photodynamic therapy, or for cryotherapy. Another example can be in treatment of burns, where the depth of necrosis and the blood perfusion has to be determined. The project will be based on available expertise in photon migration work present at the Beckman Laser Institute and the Norwegian Institute of Technology. The first phase of the work will aim to develop specific and optimized algorithms and subsequently test/verify the theoretical results

on equipment which, has already been developed, in part, at the Beckman Laser Institute. Provided that the results from this first phase are satisfactory, a second phase can be initiated where the algorithms and the technical equipment will be optimized for various applications.

Project Title: HIGH SPEED GRADIENT DRIVER UPGRADE FOR IMRI SCANNER Principal Investigator & Institution: Butts, Rosemary K.; Radiology; Stanford University Stanford, Ca 94305 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 01-APR-2001; Project End 30-NOV-2003 Summary: The aim of this proposal is to improve the imaging capabilities of the 0.5 T GE Signa SP MRI scanner located at Stanford University by obtaining support for the purchase of a software and hardware upgrade including high speed gradient capabilities. The equipment will be shared by wine users. A total of nine NIH grants and one Whitaker Foundation grant will be significantly enhanced by the instrumentation purchase. The hardware technology that will greatly enhanced our imaging capabilities are scalable gradient drivers (SGDs). These amplifiers are able to drive closed bore system gradients to slew rates up to SR 150 and have become part of the standard Signa platform for new conventional closed bore systems. Our aim is to retrofit our open Signa SP interventional MRI system with these drivers. We also need the appropriate software and hardware upgrade to the Signa LX platform in order to use these drivers. Therefore, we seek to upgrade our system to both the high speed gradient capabilities and to LX. The proposed hardware and software upgrade to the Signa SP magnet at Stanford will benefit users of the system across the board. There will be marked improvements in image quality, especially signal-to-noise and temporal resolution. This upgrade will allow us to bring all applications into the real-time regime which is absolutely critical for interventional procedures.

Project Title: INFECTIOUS RISKS OF XENOTRANSPLANTATION Principal Investigator & Institution: Fishman, Jay A.; Director; Massachusetts General Hospital 55 Fruit St Boston, Ma 02114 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001 Summary: Xenotransplantation has been proposed as a solution to the shortage of human organs available for transplantation. Infection and malignancy are the main complications of long-term immune suppression used to maintain allograft function. Concerns about the clinical application of xenotransplantation have focused on the risk of introducing novel infectious agents derived from on-human species into the xenograft recipient and the community at large. The isolation of a family of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) from tissues of normal swine, which are also infectious for human cells in vitro, has contributed to these concerns. The goal of this project is to assess some of the infectious risks associated with xenotransplantation and the immune deficits that predispose to such infections. Infectious will be studied using miniature swine as organ donors for non-human primate (baboon) recipients with clinically relevant immune suppression and/or modification. The approaches used to enhance discordant xenograft survival will include the induction of donor- specific, cellular immune tolerance induced by mixed chimerism, xenogeneic thymic transplantation, and/or suppression of humoral immune responses using gene transduction and pharmacological modulation of B-cell function (Projects 1 and 2). Using techniques

developed and available in this laboratory (for PERV and porcine herpesviruses), the biology of known organisms from swine will be investigated. Attempts will also be made to detect and characterize novel organisms in xenograft recipients. Specifically this project will study: 1. The expression of PERV in pig-to-primate xenotransplantation models; 2. The genetics of PERV in a unique herd of in-bred miniature wine; 3. The activation of porcine cytomegalovirus and other herpesviruses in xenograft recipients; 4. un-characterized pathogens in the pig to non- human primate model. These data will assist in the assessment of infectious risks associated with xenotransplantation from swine and, ultimately, will facilitate the development of strategies for the prevention of infection in human xenograft recipients.

Principal Investigator & Institution: Tekmal, Rajeshwar Rao.; Professor and Director; Gynecology and Obstetrics; Emory University 1784 North Decatur Road Atlanta, Ga 30322 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 15-JUL-1997; Project End 30-APR-2006 Summary: A number of studies have shown that the levels of aromatase are higher in breast tumors compared to normal tissue, indicating that the in situ aromatase/breast estrogen may play a role in breast cancer. Aromatase catalyzes the conversion of androgens to estrogen, which is the rate- limiting step in estrogen biosynthesis. Our studies have showed that aromatase overexpression resulted in the induction of premalignant lesions (early breast cancer) in aromatase transgenic mice. These changes are persistent even without circulating ovarian estrogens. We have also shown that: aromatase overexpression affects the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), and the expression of various growth factors, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and genes involved in programmed cell death and cell cycle; these animals were susceptible to carcinogens in inducing mammary tumors; aromatase is expressed both in epithelial and stromal cells; and preneoplastic changes can be abrogated with aromatase inhibitors without affecting normal physiology. To our knowledge this is the first in vivo model that clearly demonstrated the direct involvement of breast tissue aromatase/estrogen in tumorigenesis. The uniqueness and major significance of the proposed studies is in our use of a novel mouse model to study the role of breast tissue estrogen in normal mammary development, premalignant changes and tumorigenesis. The overall objective is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that are affected in breast tissue as a result of aromatase overexpression and investigate the potential use of therapeutic agents in prevention of estrogeninduced premalignant breast cancer. To accomplish this: 1) We will determine the tumorigenic potential of mammary glands of aromatase transgenic mice; 2) we will investigate the role of ER alpha and beta, and PR in aromatase overexpression-induced preneoplastic changes in the absence of ERalpha; 3) we will investigate how lack of PR affects the aromatase overexpression-induced preneoplastic changes using aromatase x PRKO cross mice, and 4) we will test whether A) a natural aromatase inhibitor like red wine can be used as a chemopreventive agent and B) the chemoprevention with aromatase inhibitors reduces the susceptibility to environmental carcinogens that may, in turn, reduce the occurrence of breast cancer in aromatase mice. Our current knowledge of the genetics and biology of precancerous lesions and their progression to malignant cancers is incomplete and our aromatase model will be a valuable tool to provide novel information and aid in understanding the biology of precancerous lesions

and their progression. The outcome of this study will also help to understand the direct role of mammary estrogen in the initiation and/or promotion of breast cancer and may aid in designing therapeutic approaches for the prevention of estrogen-mediated malignancies.

Project Title: MALT LIQUOR/FORTIFIED WINE USE AND ETHNICITY IN THE U.S. Principal Investigator & Institution: Greenfield, Thomas K.; Center Director and Senior Scientist; Public Health Institute 555 12Th St, 10Th Fl Oakland, Ca 94607 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 30-SEP-2001; Project End 31-AUG-2004 Summary: (provided by applicant): High alcohol content malt liquor and fortified wine are the least expensive way for Americans to consume ethanol and these are disproportionately drunk by inner-city ethnic populations, especially young African American and Hispanic males. Large-volume containers in coolers invite rapid, immediate consumption. Sales have expanded during the last decade with aggressive marketing to young ethnic populations. A wide range of problems ascribed to these products in affected communities raises public health and community concerns. Yet on a national basis, the scope and kind of alcohol-related problems in specific ethnic groups, and the subgroups drinking high alcohol content beverages, have not been empirically delineated. The roles of overall heavy drinking versus high alcohol content beverage use have not been distinguished. This research will conduct a secondary analysis of a current national telephone survey of adults in 50 states and Washington D.C., the Year 2000 National Alcohol Survey (N10), to be completed in July 2001 for the Alcohol Research Group (n =8,000). It also uses data collected from its RISK of AIDS San Francisco Say Area Supplement (n = 1,250). Using the combined data (n = 9,100) we propose to determine the national prevalence of use of high alcohol content products and identify demographic and drinking patterns associated with heavy use, particularly among African American, Hispanic and other ethnic subgroups. Additionally, we will study contexts of use and model the relationship between high-content drinking and high-risk behaviors (drug use, risky sexual practices, and criminal justice involvement), DSM-IV dependence, family/relationship discord, work problems, aggression, and other health harms, including drinking when pregnant. We will investigate the extent to which use of these products, rather than associated heavy consumption of beverage alcohol in general, leads to specific alcohol-related outcomes. We will also study key alcohol policy opinions and attitudes of those drinking malt liquor or fortified wine, how use of these beverages mediates risk curves, and treatment access, and barriers to help seeking. Last, we will explore spacial relationships between heavy use and alcoholrelated victimization in communities as well as existing alcohol policies. Results inform culturally appropriate health messages and policy development. Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen

Summary: (provided by applicant): Epidemiological studies have shown that light-tomoderate drinkers of alcoholic beverages or red wine (1-4 drinks/day) have significantly lower mortality rates (20-40%) than nondrinkers or heavier drinkers, due to reduced risk for overall CHD-related mortality. Alcohol or red wine components (principal polyphenols) affect a diverse number of biological functions that may afford cardiovascular disease protective benefits, however, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this cardioprotection remain poorly defined and understood. The integrating research theme of this inter-disciplinary Program Project Grant is to identify and define the molecular regulatory mechanisms by which moderate alcohol- or red wine polyphenols affect systemic circulatory components (blood vessels/components, ECs) and myocardial function (cardiomyocytes) that contribute to the cardioprotective benefits attributed to moderate alcohol or red wine consumption. A combination of both in vivo studies with genetically deficient murine models (including PAs -/-, Pmg -/-, PAI-1 -/-, eNOS -/-, iNOS -/-, SOD -/-, apoE-/-) and in vitro studies with cultured cells (human/mouse ECs, myocytes) will be used to decipher some of these protective mechanisms through four integrated research projects, supported by three core units (administrative, tissue culture/plasmid and animalPoioanalysis). Project 1 will study protection through mechanisms of increased EC fibrinolysis, regulated by EC fibrinolytic protein (PAs, PARs, PmgRs) function, expression and gene transcription. Project 2 will study protection through mechanisms of increased EC fibrinolysis, regulated by EC PAI-1 function, expression and gene transcription. Project 3 will study protection through mechanisms of increased NO bioavailability and altered vascular function, regulated by EC eNOS/SOD expression and eNOS gene transcription. Project 4 will study increased NO production/iNOS expression in cardiomyocytes and protection of the mouse heart from ischemic-repeffusion through NO-dependent modulation of cardiac mitochondrial respiratory function. The collective results gleaned from these research projects will provide significant new insights into our understanding of the individual, combined or synergistic roles of these multiple ethanol- /polyphenol-induced cardioprotective mechanisms that underlie and contribute to the decreased risk for thrombosis, atherosclerosis/CHD and the atherothrombotic consequence of MI, thereby reducing overall CHD and CHD-related mortality.

Project Title: MITOCHONDRIA AND PROTECTION BY ETHANOL AND POLYPHENOLS Principal Investigator & Institution: Darley-Usmar, Victor M.; Professor; University of Alabama at Birmingham Uab Station Birmingham, Al 35294 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-JUL-2003; Project End 30-JUN-2008 Summary: Thrombosis leads to the occlusion of the coronary vasculature and the resulting ischemic episode can only be alleviated by inducing reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium. Molecular mechanisms that lead to protection of the myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion injury are unclear and the impact of dietary components such as polyphenolics and alcohol are barely understood. This project focuses on the beneficial effects of ethanol or the polyphenols found in red wine on mitochondrial function and apoptosis in the cardiomyocyte under stress from ischemiareperfusion. Previous studies and preliminary data have shown that a major component of myocardial-reperfusion damage is due to mitochondrial dysfunction on reperfusion. It is hypothesized that chronic exposure to either ethanol or red wine polyphenols limits mitochondrial damage through nitric oxide-dependent mechanisms. Preliminary data

supports these concepts and demonstrates a protective effect of oral, low dose treatment with ethanol in the ischemic-reperfused mouse heart. Given the finding that long-term exposure is required to reveal these effects and the concentration of ethanol or polyphenols in the heart during exposure is minimal it is postulated that transcriptional regulation is central to the mechanisms of cardioprotection. These data have led to the hypothesis that a critical mechanism contributing to low dose alcohol and polyphenoldependent cardioprotection is through protection of mitochondria against ischemiareperfnsion. This hypothesis will be tested by pursuit of the following Specific Aims: 1) Determine the effects of oral exposure of EtOH or PPs on mechanisms leading to increased NO bioavailability and modification of mt DNA and the mitochondrial proteome. 2) Determine changes in NO-dependent control of respiratory function in mitochondria isolated from the hearts of normal mice and animals given oral PPs or low dose EtOH and in response to ischemia-reperfusion. 3) Characterize the mechanisms leading to changes in protein modification and susceptibility to apoptosis in myocytes and mitochondria isolated from mice treated with low dose EtOH and PPs. The information gained from the accomplishment of these specific aims will give insight into the mechanisms of alcohol and polyphenol-dependent cardioprotection at the level of the mitochondrion.

Project Title: PAI-1 GENE EPRESSION BY ETHANOL AND POLYPHENOLS Principal Investigator & Institution: Grenett, Hernan E.; University of Alabama at Birmingham Uab Station Birmingham, Al 35294 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-JUL-2003; Project End 30-JUN-2008 Summary: Epidemiological studies demonstrate that consuming alcohol or red wine moderately, 1-4 drinks/day, reduces the risk for CHD-related mortality. Furthermore, these studies show that this cardioprotection may be due, in part, to increased fibrinolysis. Endothelial cells (ECs) regulate fibrinolysis through the synthesis of plasminogen activators (PAs, t-PA and u-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type1 (PAI-1), the major physiological regulator of fibrinolysis. In addition ECs serve as the main site of surface-localized fibrinolysis that regulates homeostasis. Thus, ECs and PAI-1 plays a pivotal role both in fibrinolytic homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of CHD and MI. Reduction in plasma PAI-1 levels by systemic factors, such as alcohol and wine polyphenols, will increase fibrinolysis and hence reduce the risk for thrombosis, CHD and eventual MI. Our preliminary studies demonstrate that consuming moderate ethanol or polyphenols (catechin, quercetin) reduces in vivo expression of both PAl-1 protein and mRNA in wild type C57BL/6J mice. Our in vitro experiments show that ethanol down-regulates PAI-1 gene transcription in a time- and dose-dependent manner concomitant with increased expression of fibrinolytic activity in cultured human ECs. Furthermore, we have identified a 251-bp promoter fragment in the PAI-1 gene that mediates this ethanol-induced suppression of PAI-1 expression. Thus, the overall goal of Project 2 is to identify the molecular mechanisms through which ethanol/polyphenols repress PAI-1 gene expression in vivo and in vitro, resulting in increased fibrinolysis. Specific studies will determine the effect of ethanol/polyphenols on the in vivo expression and role of PAI-1 in and deficient PAI-1 mice (Aim 1); examine possible cross-talk between PAI-1 and eNOS in regulating vascular function in wild-type and PAI-1 deficient mice (Aim 2); establish the role of vitronectin, LRP, VLDLr, and alpha5beta3 in modulating PAI-1 in cultured ECs (Aim 3); and identify the ethanol/polyphenols responsive cis-element(s) in the PAI-1 gene, and characterize the transcription factor(s) that bind these responsive cis-element(s) (Aim 4).

Project Title: PILOT STUDY--RED WINE /GREEN TEA & CELL CYCLE CONTROL Principal Investigator & Institution: Eto, Isao; University of Alabama at Birmingham Uab Station Birmingham, Al 35294 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 09-SEP-2003; Project End 31-AUG-2008 Summary: Objective: Laboratory studies with animals and cells in culture have shown cancer preventive activity of polyphenols isolated from red wine and green tea. However, the basic molecular mechanisms by which these polyphenols inhibit carcinogenesis have not been completely elucidated. The objective of this study is to use two of these polyphenols (resveratrol and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) (and investigate their effects on the cell cycle control of G1-to-S phase transition, a critical molecular event in the carcinogenic process. Two series of cells in culture will be used for this study: (1) JB6 mouse epidermal cells and (2) mammary epithelial cells. Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen

Project Title: RESVERATROL AND HUMAN MELANOMA Principal Investigator & Institution: Niles, Richard M.; Professor and Chairman; Biochem and Molecular Biology; Marshall University Huntington, Wv 25701 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-MAY-2003; Project End 30-APR-2005 Summary: (provided by applicant): The incidence of melanoma is rapidly increasing in the U.S. population. Within the under-35 age population, it has the highest incidence and mortality of all cancer types. Once melanoma has progressed to the invasive stage, it is difficult to cure, since there are very few effective chemotherapeutic agents. We have found that the plant polyphenol, resveratrol, present in grape skins, certain nuts and especially red wine, is a potent inducer of apoptosis in two human melanoma cell lines. We propose to test the hypothesis that resveratrol can inhibit the development/growth of human melanoma xenografts in nude mice. This will be investigated by three aims. First, we will determine if dietary administration of resveratrol prior to tumor cell inoculation can delay the onset of melanoma development. We will also investigate whether dietary administration of resveratrol can inhibit the growth of already established melanoma xenografts. If dietary administration has no effect, then we will determine if direct injection of resveratrol into the tumor site can inhibit melanoma xenograft growth. In the second aim we will investigate the metabolism of resveratrol and characterize its major metabolites in the athymic mouse. Special emphasis will be placed on the accumulation of resveratrol or metabolites in the skin and in the tumors. Lastly, we will begin studies on the molecular mechanism by which resveratrol induces apoptosis in human melanoma cell lines by using an apoptotic-specific gene array approach combined with a apoptotic-specific antibody array. These experiments should provide data to show whether resveratrol might be an effective in vivo chemo-preventive/therapeutic agent. Also the information derived from the metabolism and molecular mechanism studies could provide insights into improving/maximizing the biological activity of resveratrol.

Project Title: RESVERATROL BIOAVAILABILITY--PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL Principal Investigator & Institution: Walle, Thomas; Professor; Pharmacology; Medical University of South Carolina 171 Ashley Ave Charleston, Sc 29425 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 01-JAN-2001; Project End 31-DEC-2002 Summary: (Applicant's Description) Epidemiological studies, as well as studies in laboratory animals, suggest that polyphenols, present in fruits, vegetables and beverages, have protective effects in a variety of cancers. A rapidly growing number of biochemical studies show a vast array of plausible mechanisms for these effects. However, it is not clear to what extent and in which form the dietary polyphenols are absorbed in the human intestine and thus can gain access to proposed cellular sites of action. As clinical and animal studies of the bioavailability of the polyphenols in general have been unsuccessful, we are using an intermediary preclinical approach, using the Caco-2 cell line as model of human intestinal absorption as well as metabolism. The proposed study is focusing on the polyphenol resveratrol, a phytoalexin in grapes and red wine. Our working hypothesis is that the Caco-2 cell model is highly predictive of both absorption and metabolism of resveratrol in humans in vivo. In Aim 1 we will in first hand determine the absorption, i.e. apical to basolateral transport across the Caco-2 cell monolayer, of resveratrol, using a molecularly specific HPLC assay. This will also yield the metabolic fate of resveratrol, including potential oxidation as well as conjugation products, identified by HPLC/MS and other spectroscopic methods. Dosedependency in transport and metabolism will be of particular concern. Corresponding studies of ex sorption, i.e. basolateral to apical transport, will be done in order to determine the possible directional transport of resveratrol and its metabolites mediated by efflux pumps, such as P-glycoprotein and the MRPs. In addition, we will identify the drug metabolizing enzymes involved in resveratrol biotransformation. In Aim 2 we will in first hand determine the oral bioavailability of resveratrol. This will require the administration of both an oral (25 mg) and an intravenous (1 mg) dose. Fifty microCi of (14C)-labeled resveratrol will be administered with each dose to make it possible to determine recoveries and the complete metabolic fate of resveratrol. This will also make it possible to assess fecal elimination, the major route of elimination of polyphenols. From these data we will determine the pharmacokinetic parameters for resveratrol, including clearances (total, renal, metabolic, fecal), elimination half -life and volume of distribution. Together Aims 1 and 2 will let us determine the usefulness of the Caco-2 cells as a preclinical model. Website: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/Crisp_Query.Generate_Screen

Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 28-SEP-2001; Project End 31-AUG-2004 Summary: (provided by applicant): The long-term goals of this research are to: 1) examine the stages of initiation and patterns of consumption of high potency alcoholic beverages (HPABs), including malt liquor and fortified wine, among three ethnically and economically diverse samples of adolescents; and 2) test innovative prevention messages aimed at reducing health and social problems related to HPAB use. The specific aims proposed to achieve these long-term goals include the following: 1) Map the stages of initiation of specific HPABS, patterns of HPAB consumption, and trends in mixing HPABs with other alcoholic beverages and illicit drugs among three diverse groups of adolescents over three years; 2) explore the relationship between the stages of initiation and patterns of HPAB and non-HPAB consumption, and alcohol-related health and social problems; 3) assess the contextual and psychosocial factors associated with the stages of initiation and patterns of use of various HPABs and non- HPABs; and 4) develop and pilot test the feasibility and immediate impact of innovative prevention messages aimed at retarding the initiation of HPAB consumption among high-risk youth. The exploratory research phase of the study, which will result in the generation of directional hypotheses about new approaches to explaining and preventing HPAB consumption, will be accomplished by employing a 3-year longitudinal cohort design. Participants sampled from three ethnically and socioeconomically diverse school settings representing high- risk youth in inner city, rural and beaches-community areas of northeast Florida will serve as subjects. The cohort will be tracked each year from the 7th grade through the 9th grade. The formative research phase of the study, which will permit the development and pilot testing of innovative HPAB prevention messages, will be accomplished by employing three research methods. These methods include conducting a series of focus groups, convening expert panels, and eventually pilot testing prevention messages aimed at retarding the initiation and patterns of use of HPABS.

Project Title: THE EFFECTS OF RESVERATROL ON PRESBYACUSIS Principal Investigator & Institution: Seidman, Michael D.; Director; Otolaryngology; Case Western Reserve Univ-Henry Ford Hsc Research Administraion Cfp-046 Detroit, Mi 48202 Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-JUL-2003; Project End 31-MAR-2005 Summary: (provided by applicant): The primary purpose of this project is to study the long-term effect of resveratrol, the antioxidant compound found in red wine, on agerelated hearing loss. Presbyacusis is a progressive deterioration of hearing loss associated with aging and is the most common cause of adult auditory deficiency in the United States. 23% of the population between ages 65 and 75 years and 40% of the population older than 75 years are affected. Compelling evidence suggests that agingrelated diseases progress due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are primarily produced in vivo during mitochondrial respiration, the process that provides energy to cells. ROS cause damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), resulting in the production of specific mtDNA deletions and mutations; these produce bioenergetically deficient cells. Ultimately, this persistent attack of ROS on mitochondrial and cellular structures results in cell death, tissue damage and hearing loss. Isolated grape constituents such as resveratrol, catechins and flavanols are noted for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and their potential for preventing cancer and heart disease. Resveratrol is 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and has been found to be more effective at preventing oxidative DNA damage than any other

antioxidant. By decreasing the activity of Complex 3 of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation chain, it opposes the production of ROS and scavenges them. This protects against age-related nerve changes. Preliminary studies conducted in our laboratory have shown that resveratrol protects against noise-induced hearing loss as well. This project will study the effects of resveratrol on mitochondrial and auditory functions. We hypothesize that aged animals that have been treated with resveratrol will have improved auditory sensitivity and mitochondrial function and reduced inner ear hair cell loss compared to control animals. The differences in auditory sensitivity will be studied by auditory brainstem response measurements. The differences in mitochondrial function will be studied by measuring the mitochondrial membrane potentials, mitochondrial respiratory enzyme level (complex 1) and mtDNA deletions. We will also study the expression of 5-lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 as indirect measures of ROS generation. These studies will provide the foundation for developing clinical studies to investigate the use of antioxidants and mitochondrial-function enhancing nutritional supplements to attenuate auditory deterioration in patients with presbyacusis. Furthermore, these data will provide novel strategies to impart greater wellness in the elderly population and perhaps have a positive effect on health care expenses.

Alcohol has never interfered with my work or caused any problems in my home life, and my liver is fine, so I do not think I have an “alcohol problem.” plus, I expect that my alcohol use has something to do with my terrific HDLcholesterol level - 57 mg/dL.

CHAPTER 2. NUTRITION AND WINE Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to find studies dedicated specifically to nutrition and wine.

Finding Nutrition Studies on Wine The National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) offers a searchable bibliographic database called the IBIDS (International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements; National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room 1B29, 31 Center Drive, MSC 2086, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-2086, Tel: 301-435-2920, Fax: 301-480-1845, E-mail: [email protected]). The IBIDS contains over 460,000 scientific citations and summaries about dietary supplements and nutrition as well as references to published international, scientific literature on dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and botanicals.7 The IBIDS includes references and citations to both human and animal research studies. As a service of the ODS, access to the IBIDS database is available free of charge at the following Web address: http://ods.od.nih.gov/databases/ibids.html. After entering the search area, you have three choices: (1) IBIDS Consumer Database, (2) Full IBIDS Database, or (3) Peer Reviewed Citations Only. Now that you have selected a database, click on the “Advanced” tab. An advanced search allows you to retrieve up to 100 fully explained references in a comprehensive format. Type “wine” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” To narrow the search, you can also select the “Title” field.

Adapted from http://ods.od.nih.gov. IBIDS is produced by the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health to assist the public, healthcare providers, educators, and researchers in locating credible, scientific information on dietary supplements. IBIDS was developed and will be maintained through an interagency partnership with the Food and Nutrition Information Center of the National Agricultural Library, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

CHAPTER 5. PATENTS ON WINE Overview Patents can be physical innovations (e.g. chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment) or processes (e.g. treatments or diagnostic procedures). The United States Patent and Trademark Office defines a patent as a grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office.8 Patents, therefore, are intellectual property. For the United States, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date when the patent application was filed. If the inventor wishes to receive economic benefits, it is likely that the invention will become commercially available within 20 years of the initial filing. It is important to understand, therefore, that an inventor’s patent does not indicate that a product or service is or will be commercially available. The patent implies only that the inventor has “the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” the invention in the United States. While this relates to U.S. patents, similar rules govern foreign patents. In this chapter, we show you how to locate information on patents and their inventors. If you find a patent that is particularly interesting to you, contact the inventor or the assignee for further information. IMPORTANT NOTE: When following the search strategy described below, you may discover non-medical patents that use the generic term “wine” (or a synonym) in their titles. To accurately reflect the results that you might find while conducting research on wine, we have not necessarily excluded non-medical patents in this bibliography.

Patents on Wine By performing a patent search focusing on wine, you can obtain information such as the title of the invention, the names of the inventor(s), the assignee(s) or the company that owns or controls the patent, a short abstract that summarizes the patent, and a few excerpts from the description of the patent. The abstract of a patent tends to be more technical in nature, while the description is often written for the public.

Antimicrobial lees Inventor(s): Shanbrom; Edward (Santa Ana, CA) Assignee(s): Shanbrom Technologies, LLC (Ojai, CA) Patent Number: 6,548,076 Date filed: August 17, 1999 Abstract: The lees or "dregs" produced during wine making are rich sources of antioxidants. Unexpectedly, these materials show significant antibacterial properties as well as antioxidant properties. The lees of red wine which consist of tannins and plant pigments precipitated around crystals of potassium tartarate can advantageously be used directly as a tonic or demulcent. The material can also be used topically for disinfecting the skin, etc. In addition, it is possible to use organic polymers to bind the pigments and/or solubilize them from the tartaric salt to facilitate their use or to make a relatively pure pigment/tannin component. Excerpt(s): The present application concerns natural products and more especially valuable materials that can be derived from the byproducts of vinification. Currently there is a growing concern on the part of the public that our modern diet of highly processed and refined foods is "missing some essential components" necessary for health and well-being. This "natural food" movement probably derives from at least two sources. First is the discovery of vitamins over the last three quarter's of a century, and the public realization that consumption of apparently adequate food can actually result in a serious deficiency syndrome. It is not hard to imagine that the already discovered vitamins, which are now added back to our refined foods, are but the tip of the iceberg. That is, many other vitamin-like substances may remain to be discovered meaning that our food is presently dangerously deficient in essential nutrients. Second is the realization that consumption of certain foods--in particular animal fats--seems to result in significant heart and vascular disease. Not only has the public come to learn that apparently complete foods are lacking a key ingredient, but the public has also learned that apparently innocuous and much favored foods are actually silent killers. The question in the public mind is "why did fatty foods suddenly become so deadly?" One answer is that fatty foods have always been harmful but that people didn't used to consume so much of them. Another answer is that lack of physical activity exacerbates the damage caused by fatty food--the American public certainly appears to have grown more sedentary as compared to Americans a century ago. However, the picture is convoluted by certain groups of people that appear to be immune to the dangers of fatty diets. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06548076__

Anti-pilfer device for wine bottles Inventor(s): Smith; Colin Marshall (New South Wales, AU), Oatley; Andrew Geoffrey (New South Wales, AU) Assignee(s): Rosemount Estates Pty Ltd. (New South Wales, AU) Patent Number: 6,460,713 Date filed: February 25, 2000 Abstract: An anti-pilfer device for application to a cork of a wine bottle includes a disc. The disc has a recess in at least one surface and is adapted to accommodate an adhesive for securing the disc to the cork. The disc is formed from a material having a relatively wide useful temperature range. The range is from about -5.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. such that the material has a glass transition temperature below about 5.degree. C. and a softening point in excess of about 100.degree. C. Excerpt(s): There is a trend away from the old style capsule seal on the top of a wine bottle to a security cap or anti-pilfer seal. The cap can be of a paper type and mere are variations through to a wax cap which approaches an old method of using scaling wax. Present bottle filling rates appear to demand that any sealing device is premade and only attachment takes place on the production line. Known wax caps from the United States are made of "wax" and are adhered to the top of the cork using hot-melt glue. The top of the cork is pushed a small distance into the neck of the bottle so that the wax cap when attached is approximately flush with the top of the bottle. Further to the above, the known wax caps take the form of a basic disc having flat upper and lower surfaces. A flat lower surface in particular leaves little room for the application of hot melt adhesive between the cap and the top of the cork. As a result, the adhesive can leak from the side of the cap during application and leave little adhesive in position to secure the cap to the cork and at the same time deposit a mess of adhesive on the lip of the bottle.

Carrying case and rack for wine bottles Inventor(s): Ivey; Jason A. (356 Coronado #306, Long Beach, CA 90814) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,615,996 Date filed: June 17, 2002 Abstract: A carrying case for carrying and displaying consumer products, such as wine bottles. The carrying case can be restructured into a wine rack. The carrying case has a front and a back wall panel, each having an opening through which a portion of a wine bottle, or other consumer product, may extend. Two side panels connect to the front and back panels to secure the wine bottles by way of extending partially through the front and back wall panels. A central slot permits the four pieces to be reassembled into a wine rack which can hold wine bottles in a horizontal position. Excerpt(s): The field of the invention is packaging and the invention relates more particularly to packaging for consumer products which provide an attractive display when placed on the shelf of a retail outlet. Shipping containers utilizing slots cut from a bottom edge or a top edge half way through a panel of the box are well known. U.S. Pat. No. 2,840,293 shows a shipping case having inner panels with slots which form rectangular openings to protect bottles during shipping. Similarly, U.S. Pat No. 2,837,216 shows a display stand and shipping container which also utilizes panels with slots cut part way through them. For some products, the appearance of the product is enhanced by the ability of the consumer to view the product utilizing the product's transparency by looking at one side and being capable of seeing through the back side while the product is in the container. Wine is especially benefited from such display, since the color of the wine is often very appealing and helps to display the wine in a much more attractive and appealing manner, particularly as compared to a wine bottle on a shelf, which has an opaque back.

Compositions containing extracts of Morinda citrifolia, red wine, prune, blueberry, pomegranate, apple and enzyme mixture Inventor(s): Yegorova; Inna (Northridge, CA) Assignee(s): Braswell; A. Glenn (Miami, FL) Patent Number: 6,387,370 Date filed: January 19, 2001 Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for reducing oxysterol buildup in the blood and normalizing cholesterol and blood pressure, in a mammal. The compositions comprise Morinda citrifolia extract, red wine extract, prune extract, blueberry extract, pomegranate extract, apple extract, and an enzyme mixture. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to compositions and methods for reducing oxysterols in the blood and normalizing cholesterol and blood pressure in a mammal, by the administration of phytochemicals with antioxidant properties found in fruits and vegetables, including polyphenols. The heart operates similar to a pulsatile pump, in that blood enters the arteries intermittently with each heart beat, causing pressure pulses in the arterial system. In a healthy circulatory system, the pressure at the height of a pulse (systolic pressure) is approximately 120 mm Hg and the pressure at the lowest point of the pulse (diastolic pressure) is approximately 80 mm Hg. The difference between these two pressures, 40 mm Hg, is termed the pulse pressure (Guyton and Hall, TEXTBOOK OF MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY 221 (6.sup.th ed., W. B. Saunders Company, 1956) (1981)). Stroke volume output of the heart and compliance of the arterial system are the two most important factors in pulse pressure. Atherosclerosis, which is the principal cause of death in Western countries, decreases arterial compliance by depositing calcified plaques on arterial walls, thereby reducing the elasticity of arterial walls. When this occurs, systolic pressure increases greatly, while diastolic pressure, the pressure that causes blood to be transferred from the arteries to the veins, is decreased greatly (Guyton at 221). Thus, blood becomes backed-up in the system, due to the inability of blood to flow through the arteries efficiently, as well as, the inability of blood to flow back to the heart. One key process of artherosclerosis is the accumulation of lipids resulting in distribution of atheromatous plaque. As plaque accumulates in the inner artery wall, the restricted artery is weakened, bulging with cholesterol and toxic deposits. Eventually, the plaque blocks the arteries and interrupts blood flow to the organs they supply. Thus, hyperlipidemia (elevated levels of lipids), and specifically,

Patents 151

hypercholesterolemia (elevated levels of cholesterol) are major risk factors for atherosclerosis. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06387370__ •

Container for keeping wine bottles in a cool condition Inventor(s): Lee; Ching-Chang (Taipei, TW) Assignee(s): Brothers Promotions, Inc. (Taipei, TW) Patent Number: 6,460,722 Date filed: March 20, 2001 Abstract: A container includes a container body with an accommodating space including central and surrounding regions. A plurality of coolant vessels are retained detachably in the surrounding region by a plurality of retaining members against falling towards the central region. The vessels can be filled with coolant so as to keep the accommodating space, in which wine bottles are received, in a cool condition. A bottom wall of the container body is provided with a plurality of spacers so as to space the wine bottles from the bottom wall. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to a container for wine bottles, more particularly to a container for keeping wine bottles in a cool condition. In a conventional method for keeping a wine bottle in a cool condition, a bucket is filled with ice cubes, and the bottle is then placed in the container. However, it is required to wrap the bottle in a towel for preventing dripping of water that condensed on the bottle, thereby resulting in inconvenience when taking the bottle out from the container. The object of the present invention is to provide a container which can prevent wine bottles received therein from dripping when the bottles are taken out therefrom.

Cooling system for wine or champagne preservation and dispensing apparatus Inventor(s): Lydon; Justin R. (Queen Creek, AZ), McGuire; Timothy C. (Reno, NV), Deller; Robert R. (Reno, NV), O'Connor; Daniel N. (Reno, NV), Phelps; Johne (Ft. Myers, FL) Assignee(s): Vin Valet, Inc. (Reno, NV) Patent Number: 6,557,369 Date filed: November 26, 2001 Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for preserving and dispensing wine or champagne. The apparatus provides a housing having a container support for holding wine or champagne bottles, a plurality of removable stoppers for insertion in the bottles, a nitrogen generator for generating a nitrogen rich gas from air, a nitrogen storage tank for storing the generated nitrogen rich gas, a cooling system for cooling certain bottles and dispensers for providing wine or champagne from the bottles to a user. The nitrogen generator draws in ambient air, adsorbs the oxygen from the air and stores nitrogen rich gas in the nitrogen storage tank. The nitrogen storage tank supplies the nitrogen rich gas to the bottles for preserving the wine or champagne. The stoppers include a nitrogen line and a supply line. The nitrogen line communicates nitrogen rich gas into the bottles and the supply line communicates wine or champagne from the bottles to the dispensers. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates in general to an apparatus for preserving and dispensing wine or champagne and in particular to a cooling system for the apparatus. One or more wine or champagne bottles may be stored in the apparatus for preservation and future use by a wine or champagne consumer. Millions of people throughout the world drink wine and champagne. Numerous types of wine and champagne are produced in many countries throughout the world. Most wine and champagne are distributed to consumers in bottles. Wine and champagne bottles are usually sealed with a cork to prevent exposure to the air and to preserve the wine or champagne. Consumers of wine or champagne may drink an entire bottle, a significant portion of a bottle or only one glass of wine or champagne. Some consumers may drink a glass of wine a day while others may only drink one glass a week. When a bottle of wine or champagne is opened, the seal formed between the bottle and the cork is broken, air enters the bottle and the quality of the wine or champagne remaining in the bottle begins to degrade due to oxidation. Wine begins to oxidize when it comes in contact with air and more specifically, with the oxygen present in the air. For a short period of time, oxygen and the process of oxidation benefit wine. With many types of wine, it is recommended to let the wine "breathe" before drinking. Breathing or exposing wine to ambient air for a short time allows a small amount of oxidation to induce the release of certain volatile compounds in the wine, which wine drinkers find to have a desirous effect on the wine's taste. Continued oxidation, however, eventually degrades every type of wine. To slow the degradation of the wine, a majority of wine is stored and preserved in bottles that are sealed with a cork or similar sealing device. However, uncorking or opening a wine bottle generally initiates the beginning of the end of a wine's useful or tasteful life. Red wines often degrade faster than white wines. Sweeter white wines tend to last longer, or degrade slower, than other white wines. Once the bottles are opened, most wines last less than a day even if the cork is properly replaced or the wine bottle is closed in a suitable period of time. In fact, the taste of some wines

Patents 153

such as pinot noir, begins to degrade within thirty minutes after opening the bottle. This is problematic because, as indicated above, often times people do not finish a bottle of wine or champagne on the day the bottle is opened. Accordingly, wine and champagne are often wasted because people only consume portions of the wine or the champagne in a bottle and the remaining portions in the bottle lose their taste.

Cork extractor tool Inventor(s): Federighi; William (7 Commercial Blvd., Novato, CA 94945) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,622,595 Date filed: August 1, 2002 Abstract: A cork extractor tool for removing the cork from wine bottles has a cylindrical needle carrier with an attached axially directed hollow needle of sufficient length to penetrate through the cork. The needle carrier is slidably disposed within a tubular sleeve which closely fits within a handle. The handle and tubular sleeve are arranged to rotate the needle carrier and needle using a pair of helical grooves disposed through the tubular sleeve, with a pair of corresponding roller guides which extend radially inwardly from the handle through the respective helical groove and which are affixed to the needle carrier. A pair of radially oppositely disposed graspable positioning legs include lower arcuate bottle gripping portions which engage the bottle to facilitate placement of the cork extractor tool on the bottle. As the handle is axially forced downwardly from a raised position along the tubular sleeve to a lower position thereon, the needle penetrates the cork in an axially rotating fashion to facilitate easy cork penetration. Pressurized fluid is then injected into the bottle from a replaceable container of the pressurized fluid having an integral metering valve. The metering valve introduces a controlled volume of the pressurized fluid through the needle into the bottle to smoothly eject the cork from the bottle. Removed corks are easily stripped from the needle by a cork stripping portion of the tubular sleeve through which the needle extends and retracts during use by reversing the motion to return the handle to the raised position. Optional cutting blades on the positioning legs facilitate cutting of foil wrapping at the top of bottle prior to cork removal. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to devices for facilitating the withdrawal of corks and similar stoppers from bottles, and more particularly to those devices which inject pressurized gas into the bottle through the cork to facilitate removal of the cork. Bottle which contain wine, and some other types of liquid beverages in bottles, are traditionally closed and sealed by a cork which is friction fitted into a neck of the bottle. Use of conventional corkscrews for extraction of the cork from the bottle prior to drinking is subject to problems such as incomplete removal of the cork and cork chips falling into the bottle. Likewise, substantial physical effort and dexterity are required on the part of the user of the corkscrew to remove the cork. In an effort to simplify the opening of corked bottles, cork extractor tools were developed of a type which injects pressurized fluid such as compressed air or carbon dioxide gas into the bottle through a needle which penetrates through the cork. Expansion of the pressurized fluid ejects the cork from the bottle. While this type of cork extractor tool may reduce some of the cork chipping problems, significant physical effort is still required by the user to force the needle through the cork. Likewise, subsequently physical effort is required to pull the extracted cork from the needle. The presence of an exposed sharp needle requires that

the device be carefully handled and manipulated so as to avoid injury to the user and other persons. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06622595__ •

Cork screw with integral intelligent thermometer Inventor(s): Harris; Debra Fogel (9366 Aegean Dr., Boca Raton, FL 33431) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,536,306 Date filed: August 28, 2000 Abstract: An intelligent cork screw device which determines the temperature of the bottle and informs the consumer as to what type of wine is suitable for that temperature. In a preferred embodiment, the cork screw provides a temperature readout. Alternative embodiments include temperature gauges which are marked to indicate the wines which are appropriate for that temperature. Other alternative embodiments provide entertainment features such as voice or other audio indications related to the temperature. Still other embodiments include visual indication such as lamps which indicate what type of wine would be proper for the temperature of the bottle being measured. The cork screw can use thermal measurement of the exterior of the wine bottle, or alternatively, the actual screw which penetrates the wine cork can be used as a temperature probe. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to wine equipment. In particular, it relates to an intelligent cork screw which has an integral temperature sensing device which is used in combination with audio or video output devices to tell the user what the current temperature of the wine is, and what wines are appropriate for that particular temperature. The intelligent cork screw has several optional output methods which include audio notification and/or visual notification. There is a large segment of the population who enjoy wine on a regular basis with meals, and at social occasions. To best enjoy a particular type of wine should be served within a temperature range suitable for that wine. For example, sparkling lines such as champagne are typically served cold, white wines are typically served slightly warmer sparkling wines, red wines are served warmer than white wines, and special wines such as sherry or port are served warmer than red wines. A disadvantage associated with the enjoyment of wine is that the consumer may not know the proper temperature for the particular wine the consumer plans to drink that evening. Wine producers have attempted to assist consumers by printing the best temperature on wine labels. This simple step makes available to the consumer the correct temperature for consumption, but the consumer must still determine what the actual temperature of the wine is.

Corkscrew Inventor(s): So; Kwok Kuen (2nd Floor, Chuan Yuan Factory Building, 342-344 Kwun Tong Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, HK) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,431,028 Date filed: August 2, 2001 Abstract: A corkscrew includes a body having first and second elongate handgrips connected together for gripping the neck of a wine bottle, a central helical screw between the handgrips to remove a cork from bottle, and a turning knob atop the body and co-axially supporting the screw. The first handgrip has at its upper end a downwardly-opening cavity. The second handgrip is pivotably connected at its upper end to the first handgrip by a connector inserted from below into the cavity. The connector incorporates a hinge pin that passes through the connector and the upper end of the second handgrip. The pin is confined by a peripheral wall of the cavity extending around the connector. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to a corkscrew. Corkscrews having a pair of handgrips and a central helical screw are known. In a typical construction, one handgrip is pivotable relatively to the other handgrip for opening to receive the neck of a wine bottle between them and then closing to grip the bottle neck before the screw can be operated. The pivotable handgrip may be connected by means of an integral (plastic) hinge through a snap-fit action, which is convenient but in practice not sufficiently strong. Although a metal rivet or screw will provide the necessary strength, its use is labour intensive and requires finishing work to obscure it. The invention seeks to mitigate or at least alleviate such problems by providing a-modified corkscrew of this type. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06431028__

Drip prevention apparatus Inventor(s): Genthon; John (151 ter, rue Joliot Curie, 69005 Lyon, FR) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,609,639 Date filed: November 14, 2000 Abstract: A non-drip device or drip prevention apparatus eliminates all liquid dripping. The device includes a body with an orifice wherein the neck of a container may be inserted, a shoulder and a planar surface maintaining a joint in a recess. When the nondrip device is attached by interlocking, the planar surface acts as end of travel stop indicating that the attachment is completed. An angle associated with a quarter circle facilitates liquid reinsertion into the bottle. A diameter of the device enables the liquid to flow rapidly when poured and a ridge interrupts the liquid flow after it has been served. An overlap is provided for publicity or a print. The non-drip device is designed to eliminate dripping, for example, when wine is poured from a bottle. Excerpt(s): The drip prevention apparatus of this invention provides a feeling of comfort when serving any liquid of different viscosity, by preventing any of this liquid from dripping down the outside of a dispensing container. It is often the case in fact, when serving wine or alcohol from a conventional 75-centiliter wine bottle, that one or more drips ruin a meticulous presentation. As will have been observed, a drop of wine always tends to spread out upon contact with a cotton or polycotton fabric, or even on contact with paper. The only solution to this is to wash it.

Dry offset rotary printer for labeling wine corks Inventor(s): Coningsby; Gregg O. (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) Assignee(s): Apex Machine Company (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) Patent Number: 6,526,880 Date filed: February 2, 2001 Abstract: A rotary printing machine for the printing of synthetic cork stoppers of the type having a surface which is normally non-ink receptive. A Ferris wheel mechanism is provided, having a plurality of evenly spaced carriers mounted a predetermined radial distance from and parallel to the axis of rotation for the Ferris wheel mechanism, each carrier for rotatably holding a synthetic cork stopper. An indexing drive system controls incremental rotation of the Ferris wheel mechanism through a predetermined sequence of steps, and a cork feeder introduces a single synthetic cork stopper into each of the carriers as empty ones of the carriers are presented one-by-one at the cork feeder. A

corona discharger treats the surface of each synthetic cork stopper prior to being printed with sufficient energy to alter the surface energy of the cork sufficiently to permit receptivity of printing ink. A rotary printing system rotatably imprints with ink the surface of each held synthetic cork stopper with an image. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to automated printing machines; and more particularly, to dry offset printing machines. As the demand for wine has increased, so has the demand for natural cork stoppers. To reduce demand for natural cork stoppers, containers other than bottles requiring cork stoppers, such as collapsible bags in boxes and bottles with screw cap lids, have been used. However, the buying public typically perceives collapsible bags stored in boxes with exposed spigots and screw cap bottles as indicators of inferior quality wine. To meet the demand for cork stoppers, synthetic cork stoppers have been developed. These synthetic cork stoppers are made from polymeric materials that have been extruded, or molded during a molding process. These synthetic corks have characteristics similar to their natural counterparts. In the wine industry, corks are frequently printed with words and other indicia identifying the vineyard where the wine was produced or where the wine is bottled. Printing of natural cork stoppers is typically done using a rotary letter press or rotary letter flex printing system which utilizes a reverse reading hard or soft printing plate which has ink placed on the raised surface. The raised surface of the plate then makes contact with the natural cork, thus transferring the appropriate image. This printing process is typically limited to single color printing. Printing machines used for printing indicia on natural cork stoppers have been found to be ineffective when used with synthetic cork stoppers. The synthetic stoppers are not as absorbent as natural cork and the printing on such corks, regardless of transfer method, require a forced drying of the printed ink. Additionally, the synthetic corks have a lower coefficient of friction at their surface and require a surface treatment, which oxidizes the surface allowing the printing ink to "flow out" when applied to the surface.

Fermentation lock for wine barrel Inventor(s): Montgomery; Donald C. (1250 Enos Ave., Sebastopol, CA 95472) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,478,178 Date filed: March 8, 2001 Abstract: An improved stopper apparatus for use with wine barrel bung holes includes a generally frusto-conical stopper member having a central aperture, a top surface, a bottom surface, and an outer circumferential surface adapted to seal against the inner circumferential surface of the bung hole. The apparatus further includes a sealing insert member having a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion, the top portion having a diameter slightly greater than the stopper member central aperture such that the sealing insert member can be pushed into the central aperture so as to bring the top surface of the sealing insert member with the top surface and the stopper member during barrel aging. The sealing insert member further has a lower surface adapted for sealing engagement against the stopper member top surface during barrel fermentation. The bottom portion includes at least one flexible lateral projection element adapted to contact and apply a force against the stopper member bottom surface, so as to urge the top portion lower surface into sealing engagement with the stopper member top surface.

158 Wine

Excerpt(s): This invention relates generally to stoppers and seals used for access and vent holes in a container, and more specifically to an improved stopper apparatus for use with wine barrels and the like, providing a positive seal fermentation lock for the barrel. Wine barrels and related containers typically include a bung hole or vent hole in a side or end of the barrel, through which the barrel can be filled or emptied, and the contents of the barrel accessed for topping off, testing, sampling, treatment and the like. The bung hole is usually sealed with a frusto-conically shaped stopper member to prevent contaminants from entering the barrel, and to prevent air circulation into or out of the barrel. These stopper members are often made from wood, rubber, silicone, or like material, and are well known and in widespread use. Carbon dioxide and/or other gasses may be produced as a byproduct of the wine fermentation process. These gasses may accumulate in the barrel until the gas pressure exceeds the sealing pressure provided by the stopper, at which time the stopper is displaced and the gas escapes. Often, displacement of the stopper is a minor matter and of little consequence, such that the stopper continues to provide a zero-pressure seal. However, on other occasions the displacement may be significant, resulting in a complete loss of sealing. A solution to this problem is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,702,018, to Montgomery (the instant inventor), which teaches a positive seal fermentation stopper apparatus for wine barrels or vent holes in any vessel. The disclosed apparatus includes a generally frusto-conical stopper member having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an outer circumferential surface which is adapted to seal against the inner circumferential surface of a barrel's bung (vent) hole, all in the traditional manner. The stopper member includes a central aperture having a length and a diameter, preferably along the longitudinal axis of the stopper member. The apparatus further includes a sealing insert member having a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion, with the top portion having a diameter greater than the stopper member central aperture, and which has a lower surface adapted for sealing engagement against the stopper member top surface. In the preferred embodiment, the top portion lower sealing surface is conical in shape to provide an efficient sealing geometry with the stopper member (preferably flat) top surface. The sealing insert member middle portion has a length generally equal to the stopper member central aperture, and a diameter less than the stopper member central aperture, and is thus adapted for passage therethrough. The sealing insert member terminates in a bottom portion which includes at least one, and preferably two or more preferably opposed flexible lateral projection elements adapted to contact and apply a force against the stopper member bottom surface, so as to urge the top portion lower surface into sealing engagement with the stopper member top surface.

Such bacteria are used in starter cultures in the production of food products including dairy products where it is desired to have a high

Patents 159

content of diacetyl and for reducing or completely removing diacetyl in beverages including beers, fruit juices and certain types of wine, where the presence of diacetyl is undesired. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing food products by means of lactic acid bacterial cultures. Specifically the invention provides novel genetically modified strains of lactic acid bacteria that are modified to have enhanced or reduced diacetyl reductase activity, acetoin reductase activity and/or butanediol dehydrogenase activity. Such modified bacteria are particularly useful in the manufacturing of food products having either a reduced or an increased content of the flavour compound diacetyl. Lactic acid bacteria are used extensively as starter cultures in the food industry in the manufacturing of fermented products including milk products such as e.g. yoghurt and cheese, meat products, bakery products, wine and vegetable products. Lactococcus species including Lactococcus latcis are among the most commonly used lactic acid bacteria in dairy starter cultures. Several other lactic acid bacteria such as Leuconostoc species, Pidococcus species. Lactobacillus species, Oenococcus species and Streptococcus species are also commonly used in food cultures. When a lactic acid bacterial starter culture is added to milk or any other food product starting material under appropriate conditions, the bacteria grow rapidly with concomitant conversion of citrate, lactose or other sugar compounds into lactic acid/lactate and possibly other acids including acetate, resulting in a pH decrease. In addition, several other metabolites are produced during the growth of lactic acid bacteria. These metabolites include ethanol, formate, acetaldehyde,.alpha.-acetolactate, acetoin, diacetyl, carbon dioxide and 2,3 butylene glycol (butanediol).

Maturation process for wines Inventor(s): Ecklein; Bryce A. (1017 W. Armour St., Seattle, WA 98119) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,378,419 Date filed: January 4, 1999 Abstract: A superior device for maturing wine which utilizes one or more cored oak slabs inserted into airtight containers of various volumes and materials whereby controlled oxidation of the wine may occur through the oak without prospect of air contamination or excessive loss of wine volume. The disclosure describes application to volumes ranging from 5 gallons to 5000 gallons (and more) and to vessels made of food grade plastic, stainless steel or white oak. Excerpt(s): Not applicable. This invention relates to a universal device for fitting containers of various materials and design to allow maturation of wine. The centuries old tradition for maturation of fine wines has been based on the use of oak barrels. Initially barrels were made of French oak and more recently the manufacture often includes American oak of various species. The quality of wine matured in oak barrels is generally held to be superior to wine that is aged without the benefit of oak. While not all the parameters of barrel aging are totally understood, there is clearly a desired taste imparted by the oak and a softening of wine chemistry (especially tannins) that occurs through the controlled and very slow oxidation that occurs through the walls of the oak barrel. Barrel making is a craft developed over the centuries, reliant both on skilled labor and extensive hand work. As such, the product is expensive and utilized in the wine making industry for only the finer wines. The barrel itself, for all the subtle qualities it imparts in the wine, is plagued with several shortcomings with which the industry has learned to live. Specifically, barrels can only be used one or two times before they lose their chemistry. At that point they must either be discarded or retrofitted in some manner such as with internally placed new oak staves. The latter mentioned process extends the useful life of the barrel for one or two years before the replacement staves again need to be replaced. Barrels are also prone to leakage and excessive evaporation of the wine in the barrel, requiring constant `topping off` to minimize the amount of free air inside the barrel. It is this free air that diminishes and ultimately destroys the quality of the wine. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06378419__

Method and apparatus for serving mulled wine Inventor(s): Elliott; Ian Richard (Little Netherwood, Stoke Bliss, Tenbury Wells, Worchestershire, WR15 8TR, GB) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,547,103 Date filed: February 9, 1999 Abstract: A method and apparatus for serving a heated alcoholic beverage is disclosed. The method and apparatus includes supplying an alcoholic beverage mix, such as a mulled wine mix, which is connected to a serving tap. The mulled wine is heated between leaving the source and being serviced from the tap. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to serving mulled wine. Mulled wine is wine optionally containing sugar, herbs, spices and perhaps egg-yolk and other additives, which is heated. Indeed, the invention is concerned with serving any heated beverage that can be supplied in pre-mix form, and in particular, aside from mulled wine, is also concerned with toddies, which usually involve spirits, water and sugar, heated. Thus, for example, sake and fruit cups are also within the scope of the invention. Customarily, a mulled wine is prepared as a mix and heated in a pan from which it is served by a ladle or by dipping cups, rather as a fruit cup. A toddy is normally prepared as a mix of the various ingredients in a glass to which is added hot water from a kettle. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06547103__

Method for obtaining grape tannin, resulting tannin and uses Inventor(s): Feries; Marc (Saint-Montan, FR) Assignee(s): Ferco (Saint-Montan, FR) Patent Number: 6,479,081 Date filed: September 20, 2000 Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining grape pomace and/or seed tannin, comprising steps which consist in: (a) from fresh black or white grapes pomace

162 Wine

and/or seed, carrying out a solid-liquid extraction of raw tannin fraction in an aqueous solvent; (b) eliminating the first solvent from the resulting extract to obtain a concentrate of the raw tannin fraction; and (c) purifying the raw tannin fraction to obtain said tannin: The method is characterised in that in step (a) sulphite water (H.sub.2 O+SO.sub.2) is used as solvent, and in step (c) the raw tannin fraction is purified by selectively adsorbing the tannin polyphenol compounds on resin and by subsequent filtering. The invention also concerns the resulting tannin and its uses in particular as endogenous tannin in wine. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to the production, from fresh black or white grapes, of grape tannin from the marc or seed, containing a high content of polyphenolic compounds, the tannin thus obtained and the uses thereof especially in oenology. Tannins are substances of plant origin which consist of polyphenolic compounds and which are divided into two main groups, catechuic tannins also called condensed or procyanidin tannins, to which the grape tannins belong, and the hydrolysable tannins predominantly comprising gallotannins and ellagitannins. Grape tannins are naturally present in grape skins and seeds. These two groups are distinguishable by the nature of the polyphenolic compounds which they contain. The catechuic tannins resemble catechuic derivatives and procyanidolic oligomers and polymers consisting of 3-flavanol and 3,4-flavanediol units. More particularly, grape seed and skin tannins consist of catechin, epicatechin and epicatechin-3-O-gallate, the skin tannin containing, in addition, epigallocatechin which is absent from seed tannin. The polymers of skin tannin are longer (chains of up to 80 units) than the polymers of seed tannin (chains not exceeding 30 to 35 units). Finally, there are grafted on seed tannin molecules of gallic acid which is only present in very small quantities in skin tannin. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06479081__ •

Excerpt(s): The present invention also relates to 2,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-heptanoic acid of formula (3) not only as a precursor for the synthesis of whisky lactone of formula (1a) but also as a novel analogue of 2,6-dimethyl-5-oxo-heptanoic acid (a constituent of well known essential oil of Mentha x piperita) which has wide applications in flavouring food stuffs, soft and alcoholic beverages, perfumery and pharmaceutical industries. A wide-spread class of.gamma.-butyrolactones (also known as dihydro-2(3H)-furanone or 4-butanolide or tetrahydro-2-furanone) were first synthesized in 1884 via internal esterification of 4-hydroxybutyric acid. These important lactones exhibit very intensive and pleasant fruity aroma and can be easily transformed into other useful products e.g. furans, cyclopentenones, butenolides and pyrrolidones (Freudenberger, D., Wunder, F. and Fernholz, H., U.S. Pat. No. 4,096,156 (1978)). The butyrolactone moieties are found in many natural products (Gunatilaka, A. A. L., Surendra, K. S. and Thomson, R.

Excerpt(s): The invention relates to a preparation based on natural substances for internal and external use. U.S. Pat. No. 5,702,714 A relates to a composition for skin care which contains d-alpha-tocopherol oil, purcelline, (long chain and solid), and purcelline oil (a cetearyl octanoate) and pure silicic acid as the gelling agent for the oil, decyl oleate, squalane (brand name "Robane") which is a saturated, aliphatic hydrocarbon, wheat germ glyceride, proto-lan 8, consisting of phospholipids, lipo-polypeptides and lipoaminic acids, polyoxypropylene esters and guaiazulene, a camomile extract. For the preparation of U.S. Pat. No. 5,702,714 A an improvement of the constitution of the skin by "rejuvenation" is validated. In conjunction with the component squalane it is pointed out that squalane is a saturated derivative of squalene and can be obtained by hydrogenation of natural, unsaturated squalene (see Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 31st edition, 1996, page 1411). As is known, food is absorbed in the human organism both in the gastrointestinal tract and also through the skin (internal and external). Thus, in external use bioactive substances, for example local rheumatism preparations or local varicose vein preparations, are absorbed into the human organisms.

In the beverage from which alcohol is partially or totally removed, the process makes it possible to retain in their entirety the molecules that are responsible in particular for the color, the aroma, and the taste of wine, and in particular cliousclatine and/or trypotophan. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to a process and technology that make it possible to remove from wine (or any equivalent alcoholic beverage) part or even all of the ethyl alcohol that it contains. This technology uses microporous solids, in particular of the hydrophobic zeolite type or any substance whose porous structure promotes adsorption, in whose structure the ethyl alcohol molecules and also, for example, any molecules whose molecular weight is equal to or less than that of ethyl alcohol are selectively adsorbed. This patent application will define in detail the nature of microporous solids for a process that makes it possible to reduce, for example, the alcohol content of an alcoholic beverage by at least 20%, whereby said process involves running the alcoholic beverage over at least one bed of at least one solid substance or in bringing said alcoholic beverage into contact with a layer of at least one solid substance, whereby said solid substances are ones whose pore diameter and hydrophobicity characteristics make possible the specific adsorption of ethanol and other alcohols with a low molecular weight. In process, the solid substances are zeolites, solids with a monolith-type microporous structure, foams, or cloths made of these substances whose basic porous structure is favorable to adsorption.

Property box of cabinet/wall-hanging type requiring low temperature Inventor(s): Choi; Moon (Namyangju, KR) Assignee(s): Yoo-Pyung Corporation (Seoul, KR) Patent Number: 6,640,581 Date filed: April 26, 2002 Abstract: Disclosed is a property box of a cabinet/wall-hanging type requiring low temperature. The property box of a cabinet/wall-hanging type requiring low temperature according to the present invention provides advantages of being attachable to a wall surface or a corner of living space such as a bedroom of a married couple, a dress room or a bathroom in a newly-built or an existing apartment, an ordinary house or in lodging so as to store and make easily available of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, films, beverage, beer or wine requiring low temperature whenever necessary. When protection of a privacy is required, unlike the conventional refrigerator shared by others in a shared living space, the property box according to the present invention can be installed at a desired position, thereby achieving the protection of privacy and resolving the problem of narrowing the living space subsequent to installation of the property box. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to a property box of cabinet/wall-hanging type requiring low temperature, and more particularly to a property box of cabinet/wallhanging type requiring low temperature, which comprises an air cooler and is attachable to a wall surface or a corner of living space such as newly-built or existing apartments, houses or lodgings so as to store and make easily available of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, films, beverage, beer or wine requiring low temperature whenever necessary. Refrigerators are commonly used for the purpose of storing and avoiding degeneration of food for a long period of time at households or restaurants. In general, the refrigerators are manufactured in large size so as to store food requiring freezing or cooling in a massive scale. Such refrigerators are large in size and heavy in weight, thereby posing inconvenience in transportation and installation. Also, since the refrigerators are conventionally installed in commonly shared space such as kitchens or living rooms, aesthetic factors can hardly be considered in the course of installation to be balanced with the surrounding circumstances within the living space. Moreover, cooked stuff, vegetables or meat requiring low temperature for the storage is stored together with pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, films in the same space at the same time. Therefore, a careless management of the cooling compartment is liable to result in insanitation due to a bad smell self-generated by the food and kinds of stuff stored therein.

Rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases Inventor(s): Outtrup; Helle (Balleruf, DK), Schulein; Martin (Copenhagen, DK), J.o slashed.rgensen; Per Lin.ang. (Copenhagen, DK), Schnorr; Kirk (Copenhagen, DK), Andersen; Lene Nonboe (Aller.o slashed.d, DK) Assignee(s): Novozymes A/S (Bagsvaerd, DK) Patent Number: 6,399,347 Date filed: May 13, 1999 Abstract: The present invention is directed to isolated enzymes exhibiting rhamnogalacturonan hydrolase activity, to nucleic acids encoding such enzymes, and to methods of producing such enzymes. The present invention is also related to detergent and animal feed compositions, compositions and methods for treating cellulosic materials, such as fibers, compositions and methods for preparing fruit or vegetable products, and compositions and methods for preparing wine and juice. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to microbial enzymes capable of degrading the rhamnogalacturonan backbone in hairy regions of pectins, more specifically to novel families of microbial rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases and the genes encoding such enzymes; to a method of producing such enzymes; and to methods for using such enzymes in the textile, detergent, animal feed and cellulose fiber processing industries. Pectic polysaccharides constitute the major matrix polysaccharides in the middle lamella and primary cell wall of dicotyledonous plants (Carpita and Gibeaut, 1993). The main backbone in pectins can be divided into linear homogalacturonan (smooth) regions of up to 200 residues of (1,4)-linked alpha-D-galacturonic acid (GalUA), and highly branched rhamnogalacturonan (hairy) regions consisting of a backbone of repeating alpha-(1,2)-L-Rha-alpha-(1,4)-D-GalUA disaccharide units (Carpita and Gibeaut, 1993; O'Neill et al., 1990; Thibault et al., 1993). The hydroxyl at the C-4 position of the rhamnose residues serves as the attachment point for the side chains (hairs), consisting mainly of neutral oligosaccharides, such as arabinan, galactan and/or arabinogalactan (Carpita and Gibeaut, 1993; O'Neill et al., 1990; Schols et al., 1990). In addition, the GalUA residues in the backbone may be acetyl esterified at the C-2 or C-3 position or methyl esterified at the carboxy group (Carpita and Gibeaut, 1993; Schols et al., 1990). The distribution and composition of the side chains vary considerably between different cell types and physiological states, but in general about half of the rhamnosyl units in the rhamnogalacturonan regions have side chains attached. The galactan side chains are in most plants type 1 galactans, which are composed of.beta.-1,4 linked galactopyranose with some branching points and a length of up to 60 saccharide units (DP60). Arabinofuranose residues or short arabinan oligomers can be attached to the galactan chain at the o-3 of the galactosyl unit, thus named arabinogalactan. Galactans (or arabinogalactans) have an important function in the primary cell wall, where they interact with other structural components of the cell wall such as xyloglucans or arabinoxylans. Thus they possibly serve to anchor the pectic matrix in the cell wall. (Carpita & Gibeaut, 1993, Plant J., 3, 1-30; O'Neill et al., 1990, Methods in Plant Biochemistry, 415-441; Selvendran, 1983, The Chemistry of Plant Cell Walls.

Excerpt(s): The present invention relates in general to the field of integrated circuits, and more particularly, to the fabrication of semiconductor integrated circuit components such as a dynamic random access memory cell, and especially the cell's capacitor. Without limiting the scope of the invention, its background is described in connection with dynamic access random memory (DRAM) cells, as an example. As is well known in the art of integrated circuit design, layout and fabrication, the manufacturing cost of a given integrated circuit is largely dependent upon the chip area required to implement desired functions. The chip area is defined by the geometries and sizes of the active components disposed in the wafer substrate. Active components include gate electrodes in metal-oxide semiconductors (MOS) and diffused regions such as MOS source and drain regions and bipolar emitters, collectors and base regions. These geometries and sizes are often dependent upon the photolithographic resolution available for the particular equipment used for processing the integrated circuit.

Smart wine brewery equipment Inventor(s): Lu; Shun-Tsung (No. 112, Shiejung St., Shiecheng Village, Shinshe Shiang, Taichung Hsien, TW), Lu; Ta-Wei (2719 E. Belmont Ct., Brea, CA 92621) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,629,490 Date filed: March 21, 2002 Abstract: Smart brewery equipment mainly comprises a frame, at least a storing barrel, a ferment tun and a distilling barrel, where the ferment tun has a ferment cask with a filter and a compression apparatus. The compression apparatus is employed to secure air seal between the top lid and the ferment cask to ensure the successful process of fermentation. The distilling barrel constitutes a distilling cask, a compression apparatus and a cooling piping. The compression apparatus is designed to ensure the air seal between the top lid and the distilling cask. The top lid has a space inside to receive the cooling piping which cools down the steam wine into the finished wine, which flows out, to the storing barrel ready for drinking. Excerpt(s): The invention relates to a complete set of smart wine brewery equipment, in particular for making wine and pure water by DIY process. In most cases, the wine brewery requires large-scaled equipment and a great stock of raw materials, such as rice and fruit, and the selling price is monopolized. The drinkers have no way to pick the taste and the alcohol grade they prefer. The consumers are not permitted to bargain the selling price the seller sets for. Moreover, there are illegal vendors who are selling moonshined wines or methyl alcohol extremely hazardous to the health of drinkers. The drinkers have to give a second thought before drinking the wine. Furthermore, it happens more than often in the house that the fruit bought for festivals or in a certain season cannot be consumed, so there are many leftovers, which become spoilt after a few days. These fruit leftovers are good raw materials for brewing wine if there is smart brewery equipment available in the home. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06629490__

Static cling wine information label and use Inventor(s): Hoar; Bruce E. (56 Main St., Stonybrook, NY 11790) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,520,543 Date filed: October 4, 2001 Abstract: An informational label prepared to be and thus advantageously attached by static electricity to a wine glass in a restaurant and readily peeled off for transfer to a cooperating wallet surface of the patron to facilitate making subsequent purchasing reference to the label. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to improvements in providing beverage identification, principally of wine, to restaurant patrons to facilitate subsequent wine purchases, the improvements, more particularly, obviating the need to commit to memory or to write down the informational content of the wine bottle label. For proper wine identification, among other complexities, it is necessary to know the grape source, the area and name of the vineyard, the harvest and/or bottling year, the winery attending to the bottling, and like information. In a restaurant environment, even ordering the wine by the bottle and affording a cursory review of its label requires a commitment to memory or a label-duplicating chore which is difficult to accomplish and, of course, ordering the wine by the glass, which often is done, is even less favorable in providing an interested patron with subsequent wine-purchasing information. Exemplary of prior art patents addressing this problem is U.S. Pat. No. 5,380,045 for Method For Identifying An Object And The Resulting Structure issued to Comann on Jan. 10, 1995, in which provision is made for a removable reminder label from the wine bottle to be provided the restaurant patron which duplicates the informational content of the wine bottle label. While useful to the one recipient, if several patrons are being served which typically is the case for wine ordered by the bottle rather than by the glass, the information has to be subsequently shared or duplicated at the restaurant. Moreover, the necessarily diminutive size of the reminder label is often "lost" amongst the personal effects typically carried in a wallet or handbag. Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to provide as a restaurant amenity a wine-specifying take-home label overcoming the foregoing and other shortcomings of the prior art.

Synthetic closure Inventor(s): Allman; Michael W. (Wilson, NC), Lauer; Eduardo (Zebulon, NC) Assignee(s): Nomacorc, LLC (Zebulon, NC) Patent Number: 6,616,997 Date filed: November 6, 2000 Abstract: By achieving an extruded, foamed core formed from plastic material peripherally surrounded and integrally bonded with a cooperating synthetic, plastic, extruded, outer layer, a unique, multi-component, multi-layer synthetic closure is provided which may be employed as a bottle closure or stopper for any desired product, whether the product is a liquid, a viscous material, or a solid distributed in a bottle or container and dispensed through the open portal of the container neck. The present invention achieves a mass producible, resilient, synthetic bottle closure which is employable for any desired bottle, including wine. By employing the present invention, a multi-component or multi-layer synthetic closure is attained which possesses physical properties substantially equal to or better than the physical properties found in cork material, which has caused such cork material to be the principal closure material for wine bottles. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to closures or stoppers for containers containing liquids, low viscosity substrates, and small solids, and more particularly, to closures or stoppers formed from synthetic materials and employable as a bottle stopper for a container. In view of the wide variety of products that are sold for being dispensed from containers, particularly containers with round necks which define the dispensing portal, numerous constructions have evolved for container stoppers or closure means for the portals. Generally, products such as vinegar, vegetable oils, laboratory liquids, detergents, honey, condiments, spices, alcoholic beverages, and the like, impose similar requirements on the type and construction of the closure means used for containers for these products. However, wine sold in bottles represents the most demanding product for bottle closure means, due to the numerous and burdensome requirements placed upon the closure means used for wine bottles. In view of these demands, most wine bottle closures or stoppers have been produced from a natural material known as "cork". Although synthetic materials have been proposed for use as wine bottle stoppers or closures, such products have been unable to satisfy all of the stringent requirements. As a result, cork has remained the dominant material for wine closures, in spite of the numerous inherent problems that exist with cork. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06616997__

Tableware magnifier Inventor(s): Taylor; Ronald Leon (P.O. Box 980921, Houston, TX 77098) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,532,117 Date filed: December 29, 2000 Abstract: A tableware item having a body, and a magnifier on the body. A method for using such a tableware item to read printed material such as, but not limited to, a menu or wine list. Excerpt(s): This invention is directed to magnifying devices, particularly to tableware incorporating a magnifier therein, and to methods for using such a device to read a menu, wine list, dessert list or other material at a table, e.g., but not limited to, in a restaurant. Most restaurants use printed lists or menus of food and drinks available to customers. Some of these lists or menus of food and drink are sometimes displayed in large bold print and are relatively easy to read by all patrons. However, in some eating establishments, their lists or menus are printed in relatively small type. Also the lighting in such places may be insufficient so that some people cannot read the printed materials or read them with difficulty. In many restaurants the lighting is dimmed or candle light is used to impart a desirable atmosphere for the enjoyment of the patrons. This presents a problem even for many patrons having normal vision. Restaurant patrons can be provided with a prior art magnifying device, such as a conventional lens, a Fresnel lens or other flat sheet type lens for the purpose of magnifying the print of the menus. But it is relatively easy for such a lens to become separated from the menu so that it is not readily available for use by the customer. In some cases, magnifying lenses which are provided for use by customers become lost or are taken by customers because of their desirability for other purposes. In other prior art systems a restaurant menu or booklet magnification system has a lens, e.g. a flat sheet type lens that is physically attached to the structure of the menu or booklet itself and can be moved to an appropriate position by the patron or other user for accomplishing desired magnification of the print.

Waveform correction filters Inventor(s): Pickett; Andrew (Carson City, NV), Thibault; Theodore (Carson City, NV), Price; Edward G. (Carson City, NV) Assignee(s): Environmental Potentials, Inc. (Carson City, NV) Patent Number: 6,486,570 Date filed: July 18, 2000 Abstract: A waveform correction filter is connected into an alternating current power line to absorb and remove various forms of power pollution, including high-frequency spikes, surges and other forms of high-frequency oscillations, such as those which result from switching inductive loads on and off. The waveform correction filter of the invention includes a fuse and a coaxial amorphous toroidal inductor connected between a power line and neutral with a low-pass filter connected in series with the fuse and coaxial amorphous toroidal inductor. The filter includes a capacitor, a varistor connected in parallel with said capacitor, and a magnetic core inductor connected in series with each other and in parallel with the capacitor and said varistor. A lamp may

172 Wine

be connected in series with the resistor and the magnetic core inductor or across the resistor. Various arrangements are shown for connecting a plurality of the waveform correction filters into single phase or three-phase Wine or delta circuits. Excerpt(s): For many years, those who are responsible for monitoring usage of significant amounts of alternating current power have been concerned with the quality of such power. Much of the newer equipment now in use is sensitive to transient voltages, such as spikes, power surges, and random radio frequency (r.f.) noise; but at the same time, such equipment may be creating its own transient voltages which it injects back into the power line. When switches turn off and on, reverberating impulses are created on the line. Motors that start and stop cause power impulses known as surges. Besides random r.f. pollution, electrical machinery of various kinds may generate harmonic frequencies. All of these kinds of power pollution detract from the efficiency of, inter alia, electric motors, generators, and transformers. The waveform of the power supplied to such equipment becomes distorted resulting in the creation of eddy currents in the ferrous metal parts of such equipment, such as transformer cores and motor stators and rotors. The result is that eddy currents in a motor, for example, dissipate power as heat causing it to consume more power to perform the same tasks. The motor may become damaged, either from the effect of excessive heat or from damage to insulation, causing it to break down long before its expected life. While much has been done to improve that quality of the power being supplied to various consumers, there has been little recognition of the power pollution produced within a single facility as a result of the operation of significant numbers of electric motors, switches, computers, and other power-consuming devices.

Wine preserving assembly Inventor(s): Liebmann, Jr.; George W. (P.O. Box 482, Hanover, NH 03755) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,595,109 Date filed: February 21, 2002 Abstract: A wine preserving assembly which simultaneously delivers an inert-gas to the headspace of a wine bottle while simultaneously evacuating undesirable gas contained in the headspace through the action of operatively engaging an inert gas-containing vessel to the wine preserving assembly. Excerpt(s): The present invention is generally directed to a wine preserving assembly for insertion into a bottle of wine which enables an inert gas to be injected into the headspace of a bottle of wine while simultaneously enabling the evacuation of air contained within the headspace from the bottle of wine. The simultaneous injectionevacuation process is initiated solely by operatively engaging an inert gas-containing cannister into the wine preserving assembly which is seated in the neck of the bottle. The wine preserving assembly is used after a bottle of wine is opened and can add significant shelf life to an open bottle of wine. It is well known that any oxygencontaining gas (e.g. air) can adversely effect the taste and character of wine over time and in some cases within just a day or two. As a result, air contained within the headspace of a wine bottle (i.e. the space between the wine remaining in the bottle and the base of the cork) instigates complex chemical reactions with the wine. These chemical reactions may adversely effect the taste of the wine and can may result in

Patents 173

partially filled bottles or even full bottles of wine being discarded. There have been efforts to replace the air contained within a bottle of wine after it is opened with an inert gas. Inert gases are those gases which do not contain a material amount of oxygen gas and therefore do not instigate chemical reactions with the wine contained in a wine bottle. However, many of these devices have proven awkward to use and/or have not been successful in enabling the consumer to readily preserve the wine in a bottle with an easy to operate and safe device which can both inject an inert gas into the headspace of a wine bottle and simultaneously remove any oxygen-containing gas therein.

Wine rack and display shelf Inventor(s): Borgen; Arden L. (2504 Forest Dr., Des Moines, IA 50312) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 6,361,129 Date filed: May 19, 2000 Abstract: A wine rack and display shelf is adapted to cellar and display bottles of various shapes and sizes. The wine rack is capable of receiving and storing bottles in a generally horizontal position which has the benefit of preserving the moisture of the cork. The horizontal storage method is generally accepted as the most preferred method for long term storage. In addition, the wine rack and display shelf can also display and exhibit the bottles so that one selecting a bottle can view the label or other designations without the need to pull one of the horizontal bottles. This vertical display can also be used to allow the wine to breathe while maintained in the storage area where the environment is maintained at a preferred level. Excerpt(s): The invention relates generally to bottle holders and especially to wine bottle storage and display. In particular, this invention concerns a wine rack for supporting a plurality of bottles lying on their sides while at the same time allowing support for a plurality of bottles in a "cork up" or display position. The proper storage of bottled wines, spirits and beers is important since these beverages can represent a sizeable investment especially when large purchases are involved. Therefore they should be treated with care and due regard for their perishable qualities. The generally accepted manner for storing wines in order to keep the wine "healthy" is to place the bottle in a bin so that it rests on its side and the cork stays moist. This prevents the cork from drying out and allowing air to enter the bottle. Similarly, other beverages such as sparkling wine need to be stored on their side. A dried out cork allows gas to escape resulting in a "flat" wine. Ideally, a storage device should be located in a well ventilated, cool, dark place having a fairly constant temperature of about 55 to 65.degree. F. The storage and display unit should be designed so as to avoid unnecessary movement or vibration of the bottles which can disturb the sediment therein.

Wire rack for wine bottles and the like Inventor(s): Kessel; Steven M. (Loganville, GA), Walters; Peterjohn R. C. (Decatur, GA), Thompson; Jerry W. (Social Circle, GA) Assignee(s): L & P Property Management Company (South Gate, CA) Patent Number: 6,619,489 Date filed: February 1, 2002 Abstract: A number of panels and shelves are formed of wires which are arranged to intersect. These panels and shelves are secured together to form a rack for holding bottles, which rack is supported by four corner posts. The vertical placement of the shelves is adjustable along the height of the corner posts by use of adjustable support collars which fit around each post and are captured by each corner of a shelf. A plurality of A-frames are removably secured to the shelves to form areas or compartments in which the bottles or the like may be stored. The A-frames are positioned next to each other so as to support an inverted pyramid of bottles between them. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to storage and display racks and more particularly-but not exclusively--to wire wine racks which may be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled without the need for tools. For convenience of expression, the inventive rack will hereinafter be called a "wine rack"; although, it should be apparent that the inventive rack has many uses other than for storage of wine. The wine rack may have almost any convenient size and shape. In general, the dimensions of a wine shelf might be in the nature of 14".times.48" and, perhaps 84" tall. An example of such racks may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,546,887 and 2,622,741. Regardless of the assembled size, it is desirable to have a rack which may be shipped broken down into its component parts in a relatively small box. Also, it should be very easy to quickly assemble the rack into its useable form or to disassemble it for storage. Once it is assembled, it should be secure and stable.

Patents 175

dimension is exposed. The longitudinal dimension has a liquid penetration rate eight times faster than the radial and tangential dimensions. Cross cutting to increase longitudinal surface area enables winemakers to use less oak for flavoring than with current barrel alternatives Excerpt(s): This invention relates to the flavoring of wine with oak and more specifically to a process which decreases the cost of flavoring by accelerated extraction through longitudinal oak surfaces. Oak flavor in wine is valued by consumers, yet barrel aging is expensive. Currently, 60 gallon barrels cost between $400-600 and are useful for only 3-5 fillings of wine. Barrels therefore add approximately $7 to the retail price of a bottle of wine. These price parameters have changed with inflation but the underlying problem of barrel cost has yielded patented solutions for 70 years.

Antimicrobial lees Inventor(s): Shanbrom, Edward; (Santa Ana, CA) Correspondence: REED SMITH CROSBY HEAFEY LLP; 1901 AVENUE OF THE STARS, SUITE 700; LOS ANGELES; CA; 90067; US Patent Application Number: 20030198699 Date filed: April 9, 2003

176 Wine

Abstract: The lees or "dregs" produced during wine making are rich sources of antioxidants. Unexpectedly, these materials show significant antibacterial properties as well as antioxidant properties. The lees of red wine which consist of tannins and plant pigments precipitated around crystals of potassium tartarate can advantageously be used directly as a tonic or demulcent. The material can also be used topically for disinfecting the skin, etc. In addition, it is possible to use organic polymers to bind the pigments and/or solubilize them from the tartaric salt to facilitate their use or to make a relatively pure pigment/tannin component. Excerpt(s): The present application concerns natural products and more especially valuable materials that can be derived from the byproducts of vinification. Currently there is a growing concern on the part of the public that our modern diet of highly processed and refined foods is "missing some essential components" necessary for health and well-being. This "natural food" movement probably derives from at least two sources. First is the discovery of vitamins over the last three quarter's of a century, and the public realization that consumption of apparently adequate food can actually result in a serious deficiency syndrome. It is not hard to imagine that the already discovered vitamins, which are now added back to our refined foods, are but the tip of the iceberg. That is, many other vitamin-like substances may remain to be discovered meaning that our food is presently dangerously deficient in essential nutrients. Second is the realization that consumption of certain foods--in particular animal fats--seems to result in significant heart and vascular disease. Not only has the public come to learn that apparently complete foods are lacking a key ingredient, but the public has also learned that apparently innocuous and much favored foods are actually silent killers. The question in the public mind is "why did fatty foods suddenly become so deadly?" One answer is that fatty foods have always been harmful but that people didn't used to consume so much of them. Another answer is that lack of physical activity exacerbates the damage caused by fatty food--the American public certainly appears to have grown more sedentary as compared to Americans a century ago. However, the picture is convoluted by certain groups of people that appear to be immune to the dangers of fatty diets. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html •

Apparatus and method for aging wine or spirits Inventor(s): Eustis, Robert H.; (Stanford, CA) Correspondence: ALDO J. TEST; Dorsey & Whitney LLP; Intellectual Property Department; Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 3400; San Francisco; CA; 94111-4187; US Patent Application Number: 20030066429 Date filed: October 3, 2002 Abstract: An apparatus and method for aging wine or spirits is described. The apparatus employs a plurality of spaced hollow semi-permeable tubes which provide an interface wall between the wine or spirits and the atmosphere whereby oxygen can infuse through the walls of the tube into the wine or spirits. In one embodiment, the wine or spirits are in contact with the outer surface of the tubes and the atmosphere with the inner surface. In another embodiment, the wine or spirits are in contact with the inner surface of the tubes and the atmosphere with the outer surface. Excerpt(s): This application claims priority to Provisional Application Serial No. 60/327,683 filed Oct. 4, 2001. This present invention relates generally to an apparatus

and method for aging wine and spirits, and more particularly to an apparatus in which a semi-permeable wall or membrane provides an interface between the wines or spirits and the atmosphere with the interface with the wine or spirits having a substantially larger interface area with the wine or spirits than that of the prior art. In the making of many wines and spirits it is usual to mature the wine or spirit in wooden barrels. Barrel aging is a centuries-old practice to improve the characteristics such as taste and mellowness of wine. Usually, for quality wines, the barrels are made of oak. It is felt that the infusion of oxygen through the oak into the wine or spirits is an important aging process. Present understanding suggests that the aging process softens the wine by polymerization of the phenols with the involvement of oxygen. Some flavor is introduced by the oak material but it has not been established that the presence of oxygen at the wine-oak interface enhances the quality of the oak-induced flavoring. The oak flavor, for less expensive wines, may be obtained by introducing oak slabs or chips into the wine, which may be contained in stainless steel tanks.

Combination bottle cap and stopper Inventor(s): Wheeler, Angela R.; (Kenosha, WI) Correspondence: Angela R. Wheeler; 10814 67th Place; Kenosha; WI; 53142; US Patent Application Number: 20030196985 Date filed: April 20, 2002 Abstract: A combination bottle cap and stopper is provided. A pin is embedded in the stopper and adhered to the cap to provide for a one piece closure on a bottle. The combination allows for a combination of seals including between the bottle cap and bottle top, and the stopper and the bottle neck. This combination of seals allows for greater efficacy in the sealing of bottles, especially wine bottles. Excerpt(s): Wine and other liquids are often stored in bottles for a long duration, and various methods of sealing the bottle are well known. However, some liquids can be stored for many years and the life span of a traditional cork is about 25 years. To preserve the wine, it is desirable to keep the bottle sealed in order to inhibit oxidation of the wine. Many wine bottles are sealed with a cork closure and are often covered with a foil. It has been known for years that the traditional corking method has drawbacks. The corks may dry and crumble, as well as allow oxygen to seep into the bottle over time.

Composite closure for removable insertion into wine or similar style bottle Inventor(s): Fox, Robert W.; (Williamsburg, VA) Correspondence: KIMBERLY A CHASTEEN; WILLIAMS MULLEN CLARK & DOBBINS; ONE IOD OYSTER POINT ROAD; SUITE 210; NEWPORT NEWS; VA; 23602 Patent Application Number: 20030102283 Date filed: December 3, 2002 Abstract: A closure for a container provides a secure closure for liquid containers while eliminating the disadvantages of traditional cork closures. The closure includes a reduced density core encapsulated by an agglomerated cork layer to which a cork veneer or printed paper or plastic layer is attached. This composite structure provides uniform pressure against the sides of the bottle finish while eliminating the problems normally associated with real cork closures, such as leakage of oxygen in and product out caused by lenticels. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to closures made from both synthetic and natural materials used in the sealing/stoppering of containers. In particular, the present invention relates to an improved cork for liquid containers. The most common material used in the fabrication of wine corks and bottle stoppers is natural cork which is derived from the bark of an oak tree (Quercus Suber) which is grown primarily in Portugal and Spain and to lesser degrees in Algeria and California. Natural cork has special properties, which make it uniquely suited for the production of wine corks and bottle or jar stoppers. The superior seal of the natural cork in comparison to recent plastic alternatives is due to the remarkable elastic properties of natural cork. Microscopic inspection of cork cells has shown them to be hexagonal prisms, having 18 edges and 12 vertices on average. Cell walls have also been identified as not being straight but having corrugations, which occupy six of the eight walls in each cell. Each cell has two or three complete corrugations, which give the cells the appearance of a bellows or concertina. The corrugations, for the most part, occur along the radial axis of the prism. The parallel axis being defined as a line running from the center of the tree to its closest outer bark surface at a right angle to the ground. These corrugations cause the cells to fold up during compressive deformation such as in the mechanical compression used to insert them into the neck of a bottle.

Cooling container suitable for cooling a beverage Inventor(s): Tanaka, Nobuyoshi; (Kawachinagano-shi, JP) Correspondence: J. C. Patents; 4 Venture, Suite 250; Irvine; CA; 92618; US Patent Application Number: 20030070447 Date filed: October 15, 2001 Abstract: A cooling container suitable for cooling a beverage is provided. Inside of the container with an opened upper end and a closed bottom is divided by a partition element made of a material such as a perforated plate into at least two parts for receiving water and ice and for receiving an object to be cooled. An appropriate amount of ice blocks and cold water are put in one of the parts, and only the cold water is allowed to flow into the other part through the partition element. The object to be cooled such as canned beer or bottled wine is cooled or cool-kept by inserting it into the part of

Patents 181

the cold water. The position of the object to be cooled received is stably retained by the partition element 20 so that the handling of the object to be cooled is conveniently made. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to a cooling container that makes it easy to handle a beverage such as canned beer or bottled wine cooled with ice. A commonly used cooling container suitable for easily cooling an alcoholic beverage such as beer, wine or sake at parties in the open air or in hotels or for keeping pre-chilled canned beer, bottled wine or the like in cool conditions has been such that an appropriate amount of ice blocks are received in an icebox of heat insulation material with an opened upper end and a closed bottom. Then, an object to be cooled in a solid form such as canned beer or bottled wine is plunged into the ice blocks. Ice blocks received in an icebox are smaller ice pieces produced by an ice machine or cracked ice of irregular shapes prepared by cracking larger ice blocks with an ice pick. An icebox is a rectangular box having an opened upper end and a closed bottom or a lidded box having a lid of heat insulation material installed at the opened upper end of the box. Further, an icebox for cooling or cool-keeping a single piece of an object to be cooled in a solid form such as bottled wine is a portable type icebox with a small volume that receives the single piece of an object to be cooled and a small amount of ice blocks for cooling the object to be cooled. In this case, the single piece of an object to be cooled in a solid form is plunged into the ice blocks in the icebox while being made to shove the ice blocks apart, and the object to be cooled is cooled by ice blocks and cold water melted from the ice blocks. Also, an object to be cooled in a solid form, such as canned beer, which has been sufficiently cooled can be kept cool by plunging it into the ice blocks in the icebox.

Dry offset rotary printer for labeling wine corks Inventor(s): Coningsby, Gregg O.; (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) Correspondence: Adams, Schwartz & Evans, P.A.; 2180 Two Wachovia Center; Charlotte; NC; 28282; US Patent Application Number: 20030127000 Date filed: February 26, 2003 Abstract: A rotary printing machine for the printing of synthetic cork stoppers of the type having a surface which is normally non-ink receptive. A Ferris wheel mechanism is provided, having a plurality of evenly spaced carriers mounted a predetermined radial distance from and parallel to the axis of rotation for the Ferris wheel mechanism, each carrier for rotatably holding a synthetic cork stopper. An indexing drive system controls incremental rotation of the Ferris wheel mechanism through a predetermined sequence of steps, and a cork feeder introduces a single synthetic cork stopper into each of the carriers as empty ones of the carriers are presented one-by-one at the cork feeder. A corona discharger treats the surface of each synthetic cork stopper prior to being printed with sufficient energy to alter the surface energy of the cork sufficiently to permit receptivity of printing ink. A rotary printing system rotatably imprints with ink the surface of each held synthetic cork stopper with an image. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to automated printing machines; and more particularly, to dry offset printing machines. As the demand for wine has increased, so has the demand for natural cork stoppers. To reduce demand for natural cork stoppers, containers other than bottles requiring cork stoppers, such as collapsible bags in boxes and bottles with screw cap lids, have been used. However, the buying public typically perceives collapsible bags stored in boxes with exposed spigots and screw cap bottles as indicators of inferior quality wine. To meet the demand for cork stoppers, synthetic cork stoppers have been developed. These synthetic cork stoppers are made from polymeric materials that have been extruded, or molded during a molding process. These synthetic corks have characteristics similar to their natural counterparts. In the wine industry, corks are frequently printed with words and other indicia identifying the vineyard where the wine was produced or where the wine is bottled. Printing of natural cork stoppers is typically done using a rotary letter press or rotary letter flex printing system which utilizes a reverse reading hard or soft printing plate which has ink placed on the raised surface. The raised surface of the plate then makes contact with the natural cork, thus transferring the appropriate image. This printing process is typically limited to single color printing. Printing machines used for printing indicia on natural cork

Patents 183

stoppers have been found to be ineffective when used with synthetic cork stoppers. The synthetic stoppers are not as absorbent as natural cork and the printing on such corks, regardless of transfer method, require a forced drying of the printed ink. Additionally, the synthetic corks have a lower coefficient of friction at their surface and require a surface treatment, which oxidizes the surface allowing the printing ink to "flow out" when applied to the surface.

Effective use of protease in winemaking Inventor(s): Sun, Daqing; (South Bend, IN), Harris, Jack N.; (Granger, IN) Correspondence: BAKER & DANIELS; 205 W. JEFFERSON BOULEVARD; SUITE 250; SOUTH BEND; IN; 46601; US Patent Application Number: 20030165592 Date filed: February 28, 2002 Abstract: A method of making wine which involves the use of a protease to eliminate heat-unstable proteins, which cause heat-induced haze or precipitate. The protease can be used at any stage of the wine making process, but it is more advantageous to used the protease at the beginning of fermentation before the generation of inhibitive factors. A wine treated with a protease under this condition can replace a substantial amount of bentonite that is normally required for heat stabilization of the wine. By hydrolyzing the fruit protein, protease can be used as an anti-foam agent in fruit juices and during fermentation of fruit juices. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to winemaking. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of protease in winemaking to reduce or eliminate heatinduced protein haze or precipitate and to control foaming. The formation of haze or precipitate in wine after it is bottled causes consumers to be suspicious as to the quality of the wine. For consumers, the formation of haze or precipitates in wine indicates that the wine may be of poor quality or microbiologically spoiled, regardless how the wine may actually taste. The most common cause of haze or precipitates forming in wine can be attributed to the instability of wine proteins, when the wine is exposed to high temperatures. This phenomenon is referred to as heat-induced protein haze or precipitate. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

Fermentation vat Inventor(s): Francia, Marco; (Casale Monferrato, IT) Correspondence: SUGHRUE, MION, ZINN,; MACPEAK & SEAS, PLLC; 2100 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, N.W.; WASHINGTON; DC; 20037-3213; US Patent Application Number: 20030145735 Date filed: March 12, 2001 Abstract: An automatically operating fermentation vat for wine-making establishments includes a main vat (2), an upper vat (4) over the main vat, an uplift pipe (8, 12, 10, 24, 26) for feeding the fermenting liquid from the bottom of the main vat to the upper vat, means (16, 14, 18) for discharging this liquid from the upper vat into the main vat so as to spray the layer of marc floating in the main vat and injector means (20, 32) associated with the uplift pipe for injecting an oxygen-containing gas into the liquid flowing through the said pipe, characterized in that the uplift pipe has a first outlet aperture (24) directing liquid into the upper vat (4) and a second outlet aperture (40) which directs the liquid into the mass of liquid in the main vat, valve means (22) being associated with the uplift pipe for selectively directing the liquid into the upper vat or into the main vat or both at the same time though the two outlet apertures. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to a fermentation vat, in particular to an automatic type of vat for making red wine, which includes a main vat, an upper vat over the main vat, an uplift pipe for drawing fermenting liquid from the bottom of the main vat to the upper vat, means for releasing this liquid from the upper vat to the main vat so as to spray the layer of grape marc floating in the main vat and injector means, associated with the uplift pipe, for injecting into the liquid flowing through this pipe a flow of gas containing a suitable proportion of oxygen to oxygenate it. During fermentation, and especially when making red wine, it is known that the must has to be oxygenated at various predetermined stages of fermentation. In particular, when making red wine, oxygenation helps metabolize yeasts since it makes it easier for fermentation to get under way, by increasing the growth of microbial flor and also prevents fermentation from stopping too early. In addition, oxygenating the must encourages condensation reactions between tannins and anthocians, thereby producing more complex molecules which make the colour more stable. Oxygenation also prevents the formation of unwelcome reduction agents and encourages the development of varietal aromas. Patent Application T097A000749, in the name of the present Applicant, describes a fermentation vat of the type described above, in which the must is oxygenated by aspirating ambient air and mixing it into the liquid flowing through the uplift pipe; in particular, the uplift pipe collects liquid from the bottom region of the main vat and conveys it, by means of a pump, to the upper vat, from where the oxygenated liquid is periodically released back into the main vat through a valve in the bottom of the upper vat which, when open, causes the liquid to be sprayed onto a cap of marc floating on the must/wine in the main vat.

An insert is provided that is configured to be positioned within the neck of the bottle for receiving the external threads of the lower end of a screw closure which is inserted into the opening of the bottle and rotated for securement therein. In one embodiment the insert may be secured in the neck by an adhesive. The positioning of the threads in the lower portion of the neck of the bottle affords a smooth and consistent pour of the wine from the bottle. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to bottles for liquids and beverages, and in particular, to a wine bottle and complementary flange screw top for improved closure, containment and pouring of wine contained therewithin. Since biblical times, wine has been produced, consumed and enjoyed by people all over the world. Wine is produced from one or more varieties of grapes which grow in well-known regions all over the world. During wine production, the grapes are crushed and the juice is usually stored for a period of time, sometimes many years, during which the wine ferments and the flavor, color, texture and aroma develop. After a period of time, the wine may be ready for bottling, sale and consumption. For many centuries, wine has been stored and contained in glass bottles of various size and sealed with a variety of closure means such as rubber stoppers or cork. Oftentimes, wine bottles are extremely elaborate, thus adding to the attraction of the wine. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

Grape grabs cork grip Inventor(s): Westover, Catherine G.; (Atherton, CA) Correspondence: Catherine G. Westover; 71 Walnut Avenue; Atherton; CA; 94027; US Patent Application Number: 20030052075 Date filed: September 20, 2001 Abstract: A small elastic band designed to slip over a wine cork to allow one to get a good grip on the cork and ease removal without having to use costly, cumbersome, frustrating contraptions that usually result in a damaged cork and/or cork bits in your wine. Excerpt(s): Sometimes people do not finish a bottle of wine and need to re-cork it for enjoyment at another time. At that time one often finds the cork has been pushed into the bottle in such a manner that makes removing it with your bare hands impossible. Corks tend to be slippery. Some people will re-insert a corkscrew to pull the difficult cork out. This method is awkward and usually results in a damaged cork and cork bits floating in your bottle of wine. Still other people utilize various tools and contraptions to remove corks. They are both cumbersome and costly and cause undue frustration. This inventor has often taken an ordinary rubber band and wound it around the cork 2 or 3 times to allow a sufficient grip on the resistant cork and thus enable removal. I designed

Patents 187

an elastic band specifically for this purpose. This invention is a simple but highly effective means for removing a (re-corked) cork from a wine bottle. The size of the rubber band is such that it easily slips over a wine cork but is small enough to grip it sufficiently allowing the user to easily remove the cork from a previously opened wine bottle without having to use cumbersome and costly cork-removal devices. The cork grips are also decorative--produced in a variety of colors. Some are left blank (no imprint). Some are imprinted with the catchy name: Grape Grabs. Others are imprinted with whatever logo our customer desires. Grape Grabs are measured via three dimensions--length, width and thickness. Measurements of Grape Grabs vary significantly due to imperfections of the manufacturing process. Pinch a band at each end as if to lay the band flat. The distance from end to end is the band length. A Grape Grabs is approximately 11/8" in length but can vary as much as 3/4" in either direction The width of the band measures how wide the band is, perpendicular to the length. A Grape Grabs is approximately 3/4" wide but can be much smaller or much bigger and still accomplish its goal of gripping the cork. Thickness measures the wall of the rubber band and a typical Grape Grab is approximately {fraction (1/16)}" to {fraction (1/32)}". Grape Grabs are made out of a variety of elastic material including but not limited to rubber, latex, or silicone. Grape Grabs can be left blank or imprinted with a variety of logos or designs. Grape Grabs come in a variety of colors depending on the material. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html •

Materials handling apparatus and method Inventor(s): Hickinbotham, Andrew James; (Dromana, AU) Correspondence: LOWE HAUPTMAN GILMAN & BERNER, LLP; Suite 310; 1700 Diagonal Road; Alexandria; VA; 22314; US Patent Application Number: 20030194302 Date filed: April 15, 2002 Abstract: A container apparatus and method for handling fruit must (M). The apparatus (1) includes a rigid support structure (2) and, a flexible container (7) for holding a quantity of fruit must (M). The holding container (7) supported by the support structure (2) when holding the must (M). The holding container (7) has at least one opening (12) through which at least juice of the must (M), or wine, is removed. During fruit must (M) the holding container (7) is positioned in the support structure (2) and a quantity of fruit must (M) poured into the container (7). At least juice of the must (M), or wine, is removed through the opening (12). A flexible bag container (7) for use in the apparatus and method is also disclosed. Excerpt(s): This invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for materials handling and, in particular, container apparatus for handling flowable material as well as a method for handling that material using the container apparatus. The apparatus and method are applicable for handling crushed fruit such as grapes and/or its juice during processing, including fermentation into wine and pre- and post-fermentation maceration, and it will be convenient to hereinafter disclose the invention in relation to that exemplary application. In so describing the invention, the term "crushed" should be understood as referring to the fruit which has been crushed and which includes the fruit juice, pulp, and skins, and may also include the seeds and stems. As will be appreciated by those skilled in this art, the juice before fermentation, either alone or together with the pulp, skins, seeds and/or stems, may be known as "must", and that term will be used accordingly hereinafter. Handling of crushed grapes and must, including fermentation into wine, is currently conducted using reusable stainless steel tanks, concrete vats and other rigid, permanent containers. The stainless steel tanks, purpose designed and constructed and capable of holding grape material, are very expensive. Such containers are only cost effective with high volumes of grape material, where they can be repeatedly cleaned and recharged with must batches during a grape processing season. Accordingly, such tanks are not cost effective propositions for small to medium wine makers. Even with large volume wine makers, a coordinated regular supply of grapes through an extended season is necessary to ensure efficient use of the tanks, and that can be difficult to achieve with unpredictable weather patterns and fermentation rates.

Method and apparatus for processing wine Inventor(s): Yahav, Shimon; (Rehovot, IL) Correspondence: LADAS & PARRY; 26 WEST 61ST STREET; NEW YORK; NY; 10023; US Patent Application Number: 20030091701 Date filed: October 10, 2002

Patents 189

Abstract: A method for processing wine, including filling a bottle with wine, capping the bottle with a bottle stopper, the bottle stopper including a valve that has a first orientation in which sediments can flow from the bottle past the valve, and a second orientation in which the valve substantially prevents re-entry of the sediments back into the bottle, producing sediments in the bottle, centrifugally forcing the sediments in the bottle towards the bottle stopper, the valve being in the first orientation so that the sediments flow past the valve and are removed from the bottle, and moving the valve to the second orientation to substantially prevent re-entry of the sediments back into the bottle. An apparatus for removing sediment is also disclosed. Excerpt(s): Sparkling wines, such as champagne, are classically produced by bottling wine before the fermentation has been completed and allowing the wine to finish fermentation, or to undergo a second fermentation, in the bottle. During fermentation in the bottle, grape sugar and/or sugar added to the wine are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The presence of the CO.sub.2 causes a relatively high pressure, for example, about 6 atmospheres and greater, to be built up in the hermetically closed bottle. Besides the alcohol and CO.sub.2 production, sediments are also produced during fermentation in the bottle, and these must be removed before the champagne or other beverage may be sold and consumed. The removal of these sediments constitutes a major problem. In order to remove the sediments from the bottle they are first collected upon the inside face of the cork of the bottle, whereafter the liquid in the neck of the bottle is frozen into solid state and finally the cork and the small block of ice containing the sediments are blown off with the aid of the gas pressure within the bottle. In order to avoid loss of liquid, immediately after removal of the sediments, the bottle must be hermetically closed again. In this step, as in the previous ones, great skill is required and, apart from the accidents that are liable to happen, losses of valuable liquid cannot be avoided in the period between the uncorking and the new sealing of the bottles. In addition, oxygen enters the wine during the period of uncorking, which adversely affects taste, quality and longevity of the wine. Typically liqueur, brandy and/or sugar are added to the wine to compensate for the wine lost during the removal of the frozen matter. Several United States patents attempt to solve the sediment removal problem by providing a bottle stopper that entraps therein the sediments formed in the bottle during fermentation. U.S. Pat. No. 3,856,169 to Wilson et al. describes a bottle cap with an internal collection chamber which can be sealed by a probe extending inwards from the top of the cap. The bottle cap is screwed onto a matins threaded ring affixed around the neck of the bottle. After capping the bottle, the bottle is inverted and sediments are allowed to collect in the collection chamber. By turning the bottle cap, the position of the probe can be adjusted so as to seal the sediments collected in the collection chamber. However, the Wilson et al. bottle cap suffers from several disadvantages, e.g., the probe must be manually moved to seal the collection chamber, and it is difficult to ensure that the probe has been properly positioned to seal the chamber. The process is unsuitable for mass production. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html •

Abstract: An accelerated wine aging process comprises wrapping a container of wine with a substrate coated with spinel, AB.sub.2O.sub.4, said spinel irradiates an electromagnetic wave length 3-30 micron.A preferred embodiment is to subject the container to the radiation of the spinel, wherein B component of the spinel AB.sub.2O.sub.4, contains at least 30% of iron. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to a novel method of and a product for aging wine. More particularly, the aging of wine is accelerated by a far-infrared radiation emitting spinel. The method is to subject the wine container to the radiation of a spinel in the farinfrared range of wavelength. It is well known that wine quality improves with aging. Some red table wines such as port requires aging for up to 10-20 years. White wine benefits by aging, stabilizing and clarification, as undesirable substances are precipitated. The traditional aging process is not only time-consuming, but also costly because storage space is required for the wine being aged, and the bottles have to be turned periodically to achieve uniform aging of the wine. Now, a new method has been found wherein a compound, spinel, having the general formula AB.sub.2O.sub.4, provides far-infrared radiation in the wave length range of 3-30 microns.

In accordance with one disclosed method, a high-purity maltose product is added to the must prior to or contemporaneously with fermentation in order to increase the level of fermentable sugar. In accordance with the second embodiment, a high-purity maltose product is added to a fermented wine in order to sweeten the wine. Excerpt(s): This application claims priority to prior U.S. provisional application Serial No. 60/307,463, filed Jul. 24, 2001, the contents of which are incorporated by reference. The invention is in the field of oenology. Sugar plays an important role in wine making. Many wines are made by adding sugar to the grape must prior to or contemporaneously with fermentation, in particular wines made in the eastern United States. Sugar is added prior to fermentation to provide sufficient fermentable material in the must to result in adequate alcohol content in the final wine product. In addition, many wines are sweetened after fermentation by adding sugar and/or other ingredients to provide a sweet taste in the wine. A famous example of the latter is Champagne, in which a sparkling wine is dosed with a solution of sugar and brandy after fermentation has progressed to completion.

METHOD OF INDUCING MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION IN WINE OR FRUIT JUICE BY DIRECT INOCULATION WITH A NON-ACTIVATED STARTER CULTURE Inventor(s): PRAHL, CLAUS; (GRAESTED, DK), NIELSEN, JAN CLAIR; (HUNDESTED, DK) Correspondence: FOLEY & LARDNER; 3000 K STREET NW; SUITE 500; WASHINGTON; DC; 200078696 Patent Application Number: 20030203069 Date filed: March 3, 1997 Abstract: A selected malolactically active Ln. oenos strain which is useful for inducing malolactic fermentation in wine or fruit juice by the direct inoculation of a concentrate of a starter culture containing the strain, the strain having a survival rate of at least 80% when inoculated directly into a wine having a pH of 3.2 or lower and containing at least 25 mg SO.sub.2 per l and at least 12 vol % ethanol, and capable of starting malolactic fermentation when added directly to the wine or fruit juice at a concentration of less than 10.sup.7 colony forming units per ml.There is also provided a method of isolating such a strain and a method for producing a culture of the strain. Excerpt(s): The present invention provides a novel method of inducing the decarboxylation of malic acid to lactic acid in wine or fruit juice by direct inoculation with a non-activated starter culture of malolactically active lactic acid bacteria and a composition comprising bacteria useful in the method. Grape juice, must and other fruit

192 Wine

juice contain a varying amount of L-malic acid and L-malate, the amount typically being in the range of 1 to 10 g/l. The amount of malic acid and malate depends largely on the climatic conditions prevailing in the viticultural region. Hence, wines produced in colder areas tend to have a relatively higher acid content, since the malic acid is not degraded during the normal alcoholic fermentation. From a taste and flavor point of view, malic acid is considered undesirable in most red wines and in several types of rse wines, white wines or sparkling wines. However, the content of malic acid and malate in a wine may be reduced by a so-called malolactic fermentation (MLF) of the wine which fermentation results from the metabolic activity of various lactic acid bacteria, including species belonging to the genera of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus and Leuconostoc. Such bacteria may be present in must and wine as part of the indigenous microbial flora hereof, or they may have been added as a bacterial starter culture. Typically, the MLF is associated with malolactic bacterial growth and catabolic processes during which the wine acidity is reduced. The catabolic phase is usually entered when the malolactically active bacteria during the growth phase has reached a population density of about 10.sup.6 colony forming units (CFU) per ml. The microbial malolactic deacidification results from the decarboxylation of the dicarboxylic acid, Lmalic acid to the monocarboxylic acid, L-lactic acid. As a result of this malolactic fermentation, the acidity of the wine decreases and the pH increases, resulting in a wine with a softer palate relative to that of the wine before the malolactic fermentation. Following a successful malolactic fermentation in wine, no further microbial growth will normally occur and hence, the wine is considered to be microbiologically stable.

Product and process of making an alcohol containing sport drink Inventor(s): Donhowe, Erik Thurman; (Castle Rock, CO) Correspondence: Erik T. Donhowe; Suite 243; 200 South Wilcox Street; Castle Rock; CO; 80104; US Patent Application Number: 20030134007 Date filed: January 16, 2002 Abstract: A process is provided for the preparation of an alcohol containing sport drink that has enhanced nutrition in comparison to existing alcoholic drinks. The beverage comprises a clear, colorless or colored, beverage containing protein, peptide, amino acid and vitamin supplements, with low to moderate levels of ethyl alcohol. Such a beverage provides a healthier alternative to conventional malt beverages, beer, wine or distilled alcoholic beverages, especially when consumed in post recreational sport social contexts. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to new sport drinks and to a method of producing the same. Intensive energy-consuming sport activities such as golf, skiing, tennis, fitness workouts, baseball, football and general athletics are increasingly becoming popular as adult recreational activities. The context in which these activities occur commonly includes post-recreational social gatherings, during which alcoholic beverages are often consumed. Hitherto, alcoholic beverages consumed at these events have been limited in nutritional needs associated with recreational activities; alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine and mixed drinks are typically low in contents of protein, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins. Beer typically contains 13 g of carbohydrates, 1 g of protein, and no vitamin A or C per 12 fluid ounce servings. Wine typically contains 2 g of carbohydrates, no protein, and no vitamin A or C per 12 fluid ounce servings. Distilled alcoholic beverages such as vodka or martinis typically contain no carbohydrate, no protein, and no vitamin A or C per 12 fluid ounce servings. Protein supplementation aids anabolic metabolism, as protein is a key nutritional component required for building muscles. Intensive recreational activities stimulate the need to rebuild and strengthen muscle fibers; hence protein supplementation is helpful to supply protein and amino acid needs following the recreational activities. Vitamin supplementation to beverages aids energy metabolism, as vitamins are primary cofactors used in electron transfer steps in anabolic and catabolic metabolism. Vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin E also function as antioxidants. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

Safe cork removing device for wine bottles Inventor(s): Lian, Fen-Lan; (Chunghua, TW) Correspondence: Fen-Lan Lian; 235 Chung-Ho Box 8-24; Taipei; TW Patent Application Number: 20030033907 Date filed: March 19, 2002 Abstract: A safe cork removing device for wine bottles has a hollow needle head, a refrigerant can container, a sliding block and a seal cover. The sliding block is installed in the refrigerant can container from an opening of refrigerant can container. The limiting rod is exactly positioned in the longitudinal sliding groove of the refrigerant can container. The sliding block is movable along the longitudinal sliding groove by operating the limiting rod. The hollow needle head can be inserted into a cork stopper sealing a wine bottle, and then a refrigerant can is placed in a refrigerant can container. By extruding the refrigerant can, the refrigerant will flow into the wine bottle, and by the pressure of the refrigerant, the cork stopper separates from the wine bottle. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to cork removing devices, and particularly to a safe cork removing device for a wine bottle wherein a hollow needle head is inserted into a cork stopper sealing a wine bottle, and then a refrigerant can is placed in a refrigerant can container. By extruding the refrigerant can, the refrigerant will flow into the wine bottle, and by the pressure of the refrigerant, the cork stopper separates from the wine bottle. A general corkscrew used for wine bottles is drilled into a cork by human force and then the corkscrew is pulled out manually. However, a large force is necessary to pull out the corkscrew. Moreover, it is possible that the force for holding a wine bottle is unsteady so that the bottle falls down and wine will pour out. Therefore, a mechanical corkscrew is developed. The mechanical corkscrew has two claws at two sides thereof which clamp and fix the bottle head. Then the corkscrew is drilled into the cork. Then a spanner of the mechanical corkscrew is used to pull out the corkscrew and the cork. However, this mechanical corkscrew has a larger volume and is made of metal. Therefore, it is heavy and complex and has a higher cost. The operation is difficult. Since the cork easily cracks so that the corkscrew can not be pulled out, this prior art is not an ideal product. In another prior art, refrigerant device for pulling a cork is developed. In this prior art, at a lower end of a refrigerant can container is fixed with a hollow needle head. By the user to hold the refrigerant can container, the hollow needle head can be inserted into the cork. Then, a refrigerant can is placed in the refrigerant can container. Then refrigerant in the refrigerant can is compressed and then filled into the bottle through the hollow needle head. By the pressure of the refrigerant, the corkscrew is ejected out. However, since the hollow needle head is always at the bottom of the refrigerant can container, when the user pulls out the hollow needle head for storage, the user is easily hurt by the needle.

Seal removal tool for stopper-closed vessels or bottles Inventor(s): Entwisle, H. Frank; (Nicholasville, KY), Howell, Edward H. III; (Nicholasville, KY) Correspondence: H. FRANK ENTWISLE; 201 CAMBRIDGE LANE; NICHOLASVILLE; KY; 40356; US Patent Application Number: 20030183044 Date filed: March 24, 2003 Abstract: The seal removal tool quickly and easily removes wax seals or other wax-like materials utilized as seals or decorative adornment on narrow neck, stopper-closed bottles such as wine bottles and the like. Removal of the wax seal prior to extracting the bottle stopper eliminates contamination of the stopper-extracting device, typically a corkscrew, by all or a portion of the seal. The operation of the tool can be accomplished by persons of right-handed or left-handed dominance. Seal removal is accomplished by one or more sequential operations utilizing various unique elements of the tool. Excerpt(s): Bottles, including wine bottles and the like, are often closed with stoppers constructed of cork or an elastomeric compound. Producers of products contained in such bottles augment the stoppers sealing effectiveness and decorative appearance with exterior, both neck and stopper, coverings of foil or foil-like plastic or with poured hot wax seals or plastic or wax seals which are pre-formed and bonded to the stopper and/or bottle interior surface of the neck. Exterior augmentary seals interfere with proper utilization of stopper extraction devices such as corkscrews. Several devices have been patented and are in general use for exterior (foil) seal removal. Interior seals of poured hot wax or bonded materials similarly hamper proper stopper extraction and if extraction is successful, the seals often separate from the stopper and require an additional operation to remove the seal from the stopper extraction device.

Shipping protector for bottles or the like Inventor(s): Hurley, Richard D.; (Corvallis, OR), Hurley, Richard B.; (Corvallis, OR) Correspondence: DELLETT AND WALTERS; 310 S.W. FOURTH AVENUE; SUITE 1101; PORTLAND; OR; 97204; US Patent Application Number: 20030070951 Date filed: November 12, 2002 Abstract: A shipping tray for bottles or other such fragile vessels suitably containing liquids therein employs a two-sided configuration with bottle receiving cradles and top and bottom stop members to prevent the bottle from sliding out of the tray. Shock absorbing members are provided about the perimeter of the tray, as well as a perimeter groove. Indentations at spaced locations on the tray perimeter function as shock absorbing spring members, and further allow displaced air to escape as the tray is lowered into a close fitting carton. The indentations further provide grip access to enable easy removal of a tray from within a close fitting carton. Both sides of a tray are functional, such that a series of trays may be packed with bottles with the trays in top side up or bottom side up configurations. A stack of trays nest together when not in use, for compact storage. When configured to receive wine bottles, the tray accepts multiple bottle shapes therein with adequate protection to each bottle style. The tray includes

Patents 197

depressable stop members, which may be removed or depressed out of the plane of the bottle, to provide a longer bottle receiving portion. Multiple bottle configurations are thereby accommodated. Excerpt(s): This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/607,781, filed Feb. 27, 1996. It is often desirable to ship bottles or other vessels, typically containing liquids. However, the typical shipping environment is replete with situations that can result in damage to the vessels and their contents. In the wine industry, for example, especially in the high end product lines or in gift packaging industries, it is common practice to ship wine typically in packs of one, two, three, four, six or twelve bottles, in a corrugated carton with some type of protection to prevent the bottles from becoming broken and spilling their contents during shipping. Other wine bottle package inserts employ an A/B configuration wherein the two parts form a clamshell type package such that each layer of bottles requires an A and a B part to completely surround the bottles. Such protectors, whether made of expanded polystyrene or of molded pulp fiber, typically employ a bottle engaging geometry configuration on one face thereof and support surfaces on the opposite side such that in order to properly pack and protect a row of wine bottles, two such protectors are positioned around the bottles with the bottle engaging geometries of the two protector pieces face-to-face and the support foot side of each protector piece facing outwardly with respect to the bottles. Accordingly, in order to pack two layers of bottles in a shipping carton, four bottle protector inserts are required. To pack four bottle layers in a carton, eight such protector inserts are required. Minimizing shipping weight is an issue in packing, so the need for two shipping protectors per layer can undesirably increase the shipping cost as the number of bottles per shipping carton increases.

SMART WINE BREWERY EQUIPMENT Inventor(s): Lu, Ta-Wei; (Brea, CA), Lu, Shun-Tsung; (Taichung Hsien, TW) Correspondence: ROSENBERG, KLEIN & LEE; 3458 ELLICOTT CENTER DRIVE-SUITE 101; ELLICOTT CITY; MD; 21043; US Patent Application Number: 20030177910 Date filed: March 21, 2002 Abstract: Smart brewery equipment mainly comprises a frame, at least a storing barrel, a ferment tun and a distilling barrel where the ferment tun has a ferment cask with a filter and a compression apparatus. The compression apparatus is employed to secure air seal between the top lid and the ferment cask to ensure the successful process of fermentation. The distilling barrel constitutes a distilling cask, a compression apparatus and a cooling piping. The compression apparatus is designed to ensure the air seal between the top lid and the distilling cask. The top lid has a space inside to receive the cooling piping which cools down the steam wine into the finished wine, which flows out, to the storing barrel, ready for drinking. Excerpt(s): The invention relates to a complete set of smart wine brewery equipment, in particular for making wine and pure water by DIY process. In most cases, the wine brewery requires large-scaled equipment and a great stock of raw materials, such as rice and fruit, and the selling price is monopolized. The drinkers have no way to pick the taste and the alcohol grade they prefer. The consumers are not permitted to bargain the selling price the seller sets for. Moreover, there are illegal vendors who are selling

198 Wine

moonshined wines or methyl alcohol extremely hazardous to the health of drinkers. The drinkers have to give a second thought before drinking the wine. Furthermore, it happens more than often in the house that the fruit bought for festivals or in a certain season cannot be consumed, so there are many leftovers, which become spoilt after a few days. These fruit leftovers are good raw materials for brewing wine if there is smart brewery equipment available in the home. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html •

Stable wine glasses Inventor(s): Thinnes, Jay C.; (Chandler, AZ) Correspondence: JAY THINNES; STELLAR AIRPARK; 4189 WEST MILKY WAY #4; CHANDLER; AZ; 85226; US Patent Application Number: 20030189055 Date filed: April 5, 2002 Abstract: The present invention discloses a series of stable wine glasses comprising stemless wine glasses with internal container shapes appropriate to their respective types of wines and having improved stability. Appropriate internal container shapes provide the desired presentation of the bouquet of the wine. The stable wine glass provides a more stable foot which may be wider than the container of the wine glass. The stable wine glass may be insulated from the human hand by a thicker portion of container wall or by a second wall, exterior to the wine container, which may be of glass or other material and may form an air pocket between the container wall and the second wall. The second outer wall may be perforated or may be whole. Alternatively, the outer surface may be covered with an insulating material. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates generally to the field of wine glasses and, more specifically, to methods for improving the stability of a wine glass. Making wine glasses is an ancient art. While wine glasses are generally regarded as attractive to the eye, there are also functional considerations in the making of a wine glass. Wine glasses are made to present the bouquet of a particular wine in a particular way. Thus, a glass for a white wine will have a narrow, or fluted, shape to concentrate the thin bouquet of a white wine. Similarly, a glass for a red wine has a wider shape to let the stronger bouquet disperse. Different red or white wines may have different bouquets, so makers of wine glasses practice variations on the major themes. In response to the demands of wine enthusiasts, wine glasses are made in shapes unique to virtually every major subclass of white and red wine. The wine glasses made by Reidel, The Wine Glass Company, of Austria are excellent examples of wine glasses functionally shaped for a particular type of wine. A wine glass has three major parts: the container, the stem, and the foot. Each part has unique functions. The bouquet is controlled by the shape and proportion of the container part of the wine glass, which typically bends radially inward. The point where the inward bending begins or where the sides straighten may be called the inflection point. A few flute designs appear to have no inflection point. The size and shape of the container portion are unique to the type of wine for which the glass is intended. A wine glass, properly filled, is filled with wine only to the point where the inward bending begins. Flutes without inflection points are typically filled to the top of the bottom bowlshaped portion. Filling the glass only to the inflection point maximizes the effect of the bouquet-presenting features of the glass. The ratios of the surface area of the wine to the area of the opening at the top of the container and to the volume of air between the opening and the wine are defining parameters for a wine glass.

Synthetic closure Inventor(s): Lauer, Eduardo; (Zebulon, NC) Correspondence: Melvin I. Stoltz; 51 Cherry Street; Milford; CT; 06460; US Patent Application Number: 20030207108 Date filed: April 8, 2003 Abstract: By achieving an extruded, foamed core formed from plastic material peripherally surrounded and integrally bonded with a plurality of cooperating synthetic, plastic, extruded, outer layers, a unique, multi-component, multi-layer synthetic closure is provided which may be employed as a bottle closure or stopper for any desired product, whether the product is a liquid, a viscous material, or a solid distributed in a bottle or container and dispensed through the open portal of the container neck. The present invention achieves a mass producible, resilient, synthetic bottle closure which is employable for any desired bottle, including wine. By employing the present invention, a multi-component or multi-layer synthetic closure is attained which possesses physical properties substantially equal to or better than the physical properties found in cork material, which has caused such cork material to be the principal closure material for wine bottles. Excerpt(s): This invention relates to closures or stoppers for containers containing liquids, low viscosity substrates, and small solids, and more particularly, to closures or stoppers formed from synthetic materials and employable as a bottle stopper for a container. In view of the wide variety of products that are sold for being dispensed from containers, particularly containers with round necks which define the dispensing portal, numerous constructions have evolved for container stoppers or closure means for the portals. Generally, products such as vinegar, vegetable oils, laboratory liquids, detergents, honey, condiments, spices, alcoholic beverages, and the like, impose similar requirements on the type and construction of the closure means used for containers for these products. However, wine sold in bottles represents the most demanding product for bottle closure means, due to the numerous and burdensome requirements placed upon the closure means used for wine bottles. In view of these demands, most wine bottle closures or stoppers have been produced from a natural material known as "cork". Although synthetic materials have been proposed for use as wine bottle stoppers or closures, such products have been unable to satisfy all of the stringent requirements. As a result, cork has remained the dominant material for wine closures, in spite of the numerous inherent problems that exist with cork.

Use of the residues from wine production Inventor(s): Pauly, Gilles; (Nancy, FR), Henry, Florence; (Villers-Les-Nancy, FR) Correspondence: COGNIS CORPORATION; 2500 RENAISSANCE BLVD., SUITE 200; GULPH MILLS; PA; 19406 Patent Application Number: 20030180405 Date filed: June 21, 2002 Abstract: The use of the residues from wine production as active substance preparations in the production of cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations is disclosed. Excerpt(s): This invention relates generally to cosmetics and more particularly to the use of residues from winemaking for the production of cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations. The phenol radical possesses particularly high stability through mesomeric stabilization. Accordingly, cosmetic chemistry has for some time used polyphenols and their esterification products as additives for care and repair products. The extensive prior art literature on the subject is represented, for example, by EP-A1 0692480 A1 (Berkem), EP-A2 0774249 (Unilever), EP-A2 0781544 (Nikka), EP-A1 0842938 (L'Oral), WO 94/29404 (Ovi) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,360 (Horphag). However, it has now been found that the antioxidative and cell-stimulating effect of known polyphenols is subject to major structural variations. Because of this, the substances have to be used in high concentrations which adds significantly to the cost of the formulations. Accordingly, there is much interest in natural active-substance mixtures which develop a comparable cosmetic effect, but in far smaller quantities. In particular, there is a demand for active substances with anti-inflammatory properties which would activate special repair and detoxification enzymes (for example glutathione-S-transferase), stimulate or regulate cell growth, influence the metabolic activity of fibroblasts or keratinocytes and could thus be used with advantage for the production of cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical preparations, especially skin and hair treatment preparations and sun protection products, without unwanted side effects, even in sensitive users. The problem addressed by the present invention was to provide active substances with the described complex performance profile. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

Wine and spirits bottle carry-out package with advertising Inventor(s): Kilmartin, Tracy Marie; (Ridgefield, CT) Correspondence: ST. ONGE STEWARD JOHNSTON & REENS, LLC; 986 BEDFORD STREET; STAMFORD; CT; 06905-5619; US Patent Application Number: 20030111375 Date filed: December 19, 2001 Abstract: A bottle packaging sleeve, and method of using same, for placing advertising on wine and spirits bottles, which provides both advertising and a means to protect the bottles from damage in a shopping bag or box, comprising a sheet of cushioning material, the exterior face of which is provided with informational material, the sheet being sufficiently elastic to be fitted onto a bottle. Optionally, the sleeve includes a bottle girth adaptor for coupling a first and second end of the sheet of cushioning material while further adapting to the girth of the bottle. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for placing advertising on wine and spirits bottles, which provides both advertising and a means to protect the bottles from damage in a shopping bag or box. The use of bottle advertisers has long been recognized. As a result, various inventions have been developed to effect this practice. Some of these include: U.S. Pat. No. 5,289,650 to Follett; U.S. Pat. No. 4,208,819 to Jones; U.S. Pat. No. 2,132,236 to Greene; U.S. Pat. No. 1,999,011 to Wasser; U.S. Pat. No. 1,536,445 to Maupai; and U.S. Pat. No. 1,473,313 to Piatt. Prior art bottle advertisers have all been adapted for mounting on the bottle when it is stocked on a store shelf. Since these advertising devices are designed for mounting to a bottle prior to sale, they are limited in their advertising space because it is not desirable to obscure the label of the bottle with the advertising device. Therefore, these bottle advertisers are designed to fit on the neck of a bottle. Consequently, advertisers have a limited amount of space upon which to place advertising material. Efforts to increase the amount of advertising space have resulted in the invention of devices that are less easily manufactured or assembled, or which require more room for shipping or storage.

Highland Avenue, Suite 155; Phoenix; AZ; 85016; US Patent Application Number: 20030179059 Date filed: March 25, 2002 Abstract: A wine glass charm includes a magnetic coupling, the components of which are disposed at the respective ends of an encircling member to detachably attach the wine glass charm to the stem or handle of a drinking vessel. The encircling member may include identifying indicia or media and for further identification purposes, a uniquely configured charm may be dependingly supported therefrom. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to identification bracelets and, more particularly, to identifying media for use in conjunction with various types of drinking vessels. At most social gatherings, the participants are served liquid refreshments served

Patents 203

in non-throw away vessels, such as wine glasses, beer steins, etc. During the course of such a gathering, the participants often seek to obtain refills but sometimes forget where they may have left their original drinking vessel and seek a replacement. This results in numerous empty or partially filled drinking vessels distributed throughout the area of the gathering. More importantly, the participants seeking refills tend to request or obtain clean and unused drinking vessels. This demand for substitute drinking vessels places a heavy burden on the host or hosting organization to have a supply of drinking vessels far greater in number than the number of participants at the gathering. Many times participants at a gathering inadvertently pick up a drinking vessel believing it to be their own and end up drinking out of a drinking vessel previously used by someone else. This leads to socially awkward situations. Moreover, the drinking vessels may become transmitting media for bacteria and viruses with resulting medically related complications. In many cases, severe emotional stress is created when a person realizes he/she has been drinking out of someone else's drinking vessel.

The present invention relates in general to an apparatus for preserving and dispensing wine or champagne. One or more wine or champagne bottles may be stored in the apparatus for preservation and future use by a wine or champagne consumer. Millions of people throughout the world drink wine and champagne. Numerous types of wine and champagne are produced in many countries throughout the world. Most wine and

204 Wine

champagne are distributed to consumers in bottles. Wine and champagne bottles are usually sealed with a cork to prevent exposure to the air and to preserve the wine or champagne. Consumers of wine or champagne may drink an entire bottle, a significant portion of a bottle or only one glass of wine or champagne. Some consumers may drink a glass of wine a day while others may only drink one glass a week. When a bottle of wine or champagne is opened, the seal formed between the bottle and the cork is broken, air enters the bottle and the quality of the wine or champagne remaining in the bottle begins to degrade due to oxidation.

In addition to LOCATORPlus, in collaboration with authors and publishers, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is currently adapting biomedical books for the Web. The books may be accessed in two ways: (1) by searching directly using any search term or phrase (in the same way as the bibliographic database PubMed), or (2) by following the links to PubMed abstracts. Each PubMed abstract has a "Books" button that displays a facsimile of the abstract in which some phrases are hypertext links. These phrases are also found in the books available at NCBI. Click on hyperlinked results in the list of books in which the phrase is found. Currently, the majority of the links are between the books and PubMed. In the future, more links will be created between the books and other types of information, such as gene and protein sequences and macromolecular structures.

Summary: Fruits are packed with vitamins and minerals, they may satisfy one's sweet tooth, and many fruits make great portable snacks or put the finishing touch on a meal. The diabetes food pyramid suggests that people with diabetes eat 2 to 4 servings of fruit each day. This chapter on fruits is from a book that offers a complete food and nutrition resource for people with diabetes. The book brings readers up to date on meal planning, carbohydrate counting, vitamins, minerals, and the best ways to prepare healthy delicious meals. In this chapter the authors discuss the benefits of eating fruits, tips for portion control, fruit juices, fruits as sources of vitamin A and vitamin C, common questions about fruits and nutrition, fanciful fruits (figs, pomegranates, papayas, pineapples), berries, and citrus.

Potential Role of Cigarette Smoke-Derived Aryl Hydrocarbons in Failed Osseointegration Source: in Zarb, G., et al., eds. Aging, Osteoporosis, and Dental Implants.

Summary: In addition to aging, or perhaps in association with aging, cigarette smoking is an important risk factor for osteopenia (subnormally mineralized bone) in men and women. In fact, the more one smokes, the greater the risk for decreased mineral density and fracture. This chapter on the potential role of cigarette smoke in failed osseointegration (an induced healing process where alloplastic materials are maintained in bone) is from a book that contains the proceedings of a symposium on Aging, Osteoporosis and Dental Implants, held at the University of Toronto (Canada) in November 2000. The proceedings attempt to reconcile the current clinical understanding of aging, with or without osteoporosis (abnormal loss of bone density), with overall dental patient management strategies, placing particular emphasis on the induction and maintenance of the osseointegrated response (necessary for dental implants). The authors focus on the potential role of cigarette smoke-derived aryl hydrocarbons. The authors report on a study that demonstrates how environmental pollutants derived from combustion or cigarette smoking might contribute to bone loss seen in patients with periodontal diseases and osteoporosis, and also how cigarette smoking might interfere with the processes of osseointegration. The authors suggest that resveratrol (an antifungal agent found naturally in red wine) might be used to prevent some of these effects. 7 figures. 1 table. 107 references.

PRICE: $10.99 plus shipping and handling. Summary: This chapter on working with a dietitian is from a book that offers eating and nutrition guidelines for people who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. The author focuses on type 2 diabetes, noting that diabetes can manifest differently in different patients and sometimes even changing throughout its course within one person. The author encourages readers to learn as much as they can about their disease and to utilize nutrition as an adjunct therapy and a vital component of their diabetes care. The chapter answers common questions that newly diagnosed patients may have about food, the recommended diet, and diabetes. The author emphasizes the all foods (including sugar), with smaller serving sizes, can be worked into a particular eating plan. Specific strategies for eating sugary foods include: pay attention to portion sizes of sugary foods, try to enjoy a dessert or high sugar treat as part of a meal, substitute the sugar containing food for another carbohydrate containing food in the personal diabetes meal plan, and monitor blood glucose levels routinely to be aware of any negative effects from the sugary food. Other topics covered include the need to count and measure foods, the role of vegetarianism, incorporating more plant foods into the diet, the use of soluble fiber to help with blood glucose (sugar) control, carbohydrates, dietary fats (the good and the bad), coping with flatulence (gas) from eating beans and legumes, cholesterol levels, definitions of fat related ingredient and medical terms, specific foods and resulting blood glucose levels, and drinking wine with meals.

Important information for patients includes what constitutes a drink of hard liquor, wine, and beer and how alcohol and diabetes interact. Alcohol can cause hypoglycemia, intensify insulin action, cause sleep disturbances, make weight management more difficult, use up vitamins and minerals or interfere with their absorption, kill liver cells, increase the symptoms of neuropathy, contribute to high blood pressure, and reduce the ability to think clearly. In addition, when consumed during pregnancy, alcohol can pose a danger to the fetus.

Search Engines Medical news is also available in the news sections of commercial Internet search engines. See the health news page at Yahoo (http://dir.yahoo.com/Health/News_and_Media/), or you can use this Web site’s general news search page at http://news.yahoo.com/. Type in “wine” (or synonyms). If you know the name of a company that is relevant to wine, you can go to any stock trading Web site (such as http://www.etrade.com/) and search for the company name there. News items across various news sources are reported on indicated hyperlinks. Google offers a similar service at http://news.google.com/. BBC Covering news from a more European perspective, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) allows the public free access to their news archive located at http://www.bbc.co.uk/. Search by “wine” (or synonyms).

Newsletter Articles Use the Combined Health Information Database, and limit your search criteria to “newsletter articles.” Again, you will need to use the “Detailed Search” option. Go directly to the following hyperlink: http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html. Go to the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language that you prefer. For the format option, select “Newsletter Article.” Type “wine” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. You should check back periodically with this database as it is updated every three months. The following is a typical result when searching for newsletter articles on wine: •

Cranberry Connection Source: Quality Care. 18(3): 4. Summer 2000. Contact: Available from National Association for Continence. P.O. Box 8310, Spartanburg, SC 29305-8310. (800) 252-3337 or (864) 579-7900. Fax (864) 579-7902. Summary: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a serious health problem that affects nearly 7 million women a year. Often UTIs are recurrent, requiring patients to take daily doses of antibiotics to prevent infections. Prolonged antibiotic use has resulted in bacterial resistance problems and has left researchers searching for alternative therapies. This brief article reviews the connection between cranberry juice and the maintenance of urinary tract health. There is mounting scientific evidence to suggest that cranberries do help ward off UTIs. Research has shown that compounds called tannins can prevent Escherichia coli, the primary cause of UTIs, from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract, therefore preventing their multiplying and causing infection. Tannin has been extracted from cranberries. A 10 ounce glass of cranberry juice or two 400 milligram capsules of cranberry powder supplement each day can result in the beneficial effect of these tannins (research studies showed a reduction of nearly 50 percent in urinary tract bacteria in elderly women who followed this regimen). The author cautions that

222 Wine

cranberry juice products must be labelled as at least 25 percent cranberry; juices are often diluted or sweetened with white grape juice and other juices. Juice blends such as cranberry apple can also be low in cranberry. Blueberries (1 cup of fresh or frozen per day) can be eaten as an alternative to cranberries. Blueberries are closely related to cranberries and contain the same tannins. Other foods such as grapes and wine have a different type of tannin and are not effective against UTIs.

Academic Periodicals covering Wine Numerous periodicals are currently indexed within the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database that are known to publish articles relating to wine. In addition to these sources, you can search for articles covering wine that have been published by any of the periodicals listed in previous chapters. To find the latest studies published, go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed, type the name of the periodical into the search box, and click “Go.” If you want complete details about the historical contents of a journal, you can also visit the following Web site: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/jrbrowser.cgi. Here, type in the name of the journal or its abbreviation, and you will receive an index of published articles. At http://locatorplus.gov/, you can retrieve more indexing information on medical periodicals (e.g. the name of the publisher). Select the button “Search LOCATORplus.” Then type in the name of the journal and select the advanced search option “Journal Title Search.”

CHAPTER 9. RESEARCHING MEDICATIONS Overview While a number of hard copy or CD-ROM resources are available for researching medications, a more flexible method is to use Internet-based databases. Broadly speaking, there are two sources of information on approved medications: public sources and private sources. We will emphasize free-to-use public sources.

U.S. Pharmacopeia Because of historical investments by various organizations and the emergence of the Internet, it has become rather simple to learn about the medications recommended for wine. One such source is the United States Pharmacopeia. In 1820, eleven physicians met in Washington, D.C. to establish the first compendium of standard drugs for the United States. They called this compendium the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP). Today, the USP is a non-profit organization consisting of 800 volunteer scientists, eleven elected officials, and 400 representatives of state associations and colleges of medicine and pharmacy. The USP is located in Rockville, Maryland, and its home page is located at http://www.usp.org/. The USP currently provides standards for over 3,700 medications. The resulting USP DI Advice for the Patient can be accessed through the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health. The database is partially derived from lists of federally approved medications in the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Drug Approvals database, located at http://www.fda.gov/cder/da/da.htm. While the FDA database is rather large and difficult to navigate, the Phamacopeia is both user-friendly and free to use. It covers more than 9,000 prescription and over-the-counter medications. To access this database, simply type the following hyperlink into your Web browser: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginformation.html. To view examples of a given medication (brand names, category, description, preparation, proper use, precautions, side effects, etc.), simply follow the hyperlinks indicated within the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Below, we have compiled a list of medications associated with wine. If you would like more information on a particular medication, the provided hyperlinks will direct you to ample documentation (e.g. typical dosage, side effects, drug-interaction risks, etc.). The following

224 Wine

drugs have been mentioned in the Pharmacopeia and other sources as being potentially applicable to wine: Rabies Immune Globulin •

Systemic - U.S. Brands: BayRab; Hyperab; Imogam http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202718.html

Rabies Vaccine •

Systemic - U.S. Brands: Note: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202719.html

Commercial Databases In addition to the medications listed in the USP above, a number of commercial sites are available by subscription to physicians and their institutions. Or, you may be able to access these sources from your local medical library.

Mosby’s Drug Consult Mosby’s Drug Consult database (also available on CD-ROM and book format) covers 45,000 drug products including generics and international brands. It provides prescribing information, drug interactions, and patient information. Subscription information is available at the following hyperlink: http://www.mosbysdrugconsult.com/.

PDRhealth The PDRhealth database is a free-to-use, drug information search engine that has been written for the public in layman’s terms. It contains FDA-approved drug information adapted from the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) database. PDRhealth can be searched by brand name, generic name, or indication. It features multiple drug interactions reports. Search PDRhealth at http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/index.html. Other Web Sites Drugs.com (www.drugs.com) reproduces the information in the Pharmacopeia as well as commercial information. You may also want to consider the Web site of the Medical Letter, Inc. (http://www.medletter.com/) which allows users to download articles on various drugs and therapeutics for a nominal fee. If you have any questions about a medical treatment, the FDA may have an office near you. Look for their number in the blue pages of the phone book. You can also contact the FDA through its toll-free number, 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332), or on the World Wide Web at www.fda.gov.

Coffee Break: Tutorials for Biologists19 Coffee Break is a general healthcare site that takes a scientific view of the news and covers recent breakthroughs in biology that may one day assist physicians in developing treatments. Here you will find a collection of short reports on recent biological discoveries. Each report incorporates interactive tutorials that demonstrate how bioinformatics tools are used as a part of the research process. Currently, all Coffee Breaks are written by NCBI staff.20 Each report is about 400 words and is usually based on a discovery reported in one or more articles from recently published, peer-reviewed literature.21 This site has new articles every few weeks, so it can be considered an online magazine of sorts. It is intended for general background information. You can access the Coffee Break Web site at the following hyperlink: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/.

Other Commercial Databases In addition to resources maintained by official agencies, other databases exist that are commercial ventures addressing medical professionals. Here are some examples that may interest you: •

CliniWeb International: Index and table of contents to selected clinical information on the Internet; see http://www.ohsu.edu/cliniweb/.

•

Medical World Search: Searches full text from thousands of selected medical sites on the Internet; see http://www.mwsearch.com/.

19 Adapted 20

from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/Archive/FAQ.html.

The figure that accompanies each article is frequently supplied by an expert external to NCBI, in which case the source of the figure is cited. The result is an interactive tutorial that tells a biological story. 21 After a brief introduction that sets the work described into a broader context, the report focuses on how a molecular understanding can provide explanations of observed biology and lead to therapies for diseases. Each vignette is accompanied by a figure and hypertext links that lead to a series of pages that interactively show how NCBI tools and resources are used in the research process.

233

APPENDIX B. PATIENT RESOURCES Overview Official agencies, as well as federally funded institutions supported by national grants, frequently publish a variety of guidelines written with the patient in mind. These are typically called “Fact Sheets” or “Guidelines.” They can take the form of a brochure, information kit, pamphlet, or flyer. Often they are only a few pages in length. Since new guidelines on wine can appear at any moment and be published by a number of sources, the best approach to finding guidelines is to systematically scan the Internet-based services that post them.

Patient Guideline Sources The remainder of this chapter directs you to sources which either publish or can help you find additional guidelines on topics related to wine. Due to space limitations, these sources are listed in a concise manner. Do not hesitate to consult the following sources by either using the Internet hyperlink provided, or, in cases where the contact information is provided, contacting the publisher or author directly. The National Institutes of Health The NIH gateway to patients is located at http://health.nih.gov/. From this site, you can search across various sources and institutes, a number of which are summarized below. Topic Pages: MEDLINEplus The National Library of Medicine has created a vast and patient-oriented healthcare information portal called MEDLINEplus. Within this Internet-based system are “health topic pages” which list links to available materials relevant to wine. To access this system, log on to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html. From there you can either search using the alphabetical index or browse by broad topic areas. Recently, MEDLINEplus listed the following when searched for “wine”:

Other guides Alcohol and Youth http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/alcoholandyouth.html Alcohol Consumption http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/alcoholconsumption.html Alcoholism http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/alcoholism.html Heart Diseases http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/heartdiseases.html

You may also choose to use the search utility provided by MEDLINEplus at the following Web address: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/. Simply type a keyword into the search box and click “Search.” This utility is similar to the NIH search utility, with the exception that it only includes materials that are linked within the MEDLINEplus system (mostly patient-oriented information). It also has the disadvantage of generating unstructured results. We recommend, therefore, that you use this method only if you have a very targeted search. The Combined Health Information Database (CHID) CHID Online is a reference tool that maintains a database directory of thousands of journal articles and patient education guidelines on wine. CHID offers summaries that describe the guidelines available, including contact information and pricing. CHID’s general Web site is http://chid.nih.gov/. To search this database, go to http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html. In particular, you can use the advanced search options to look up pamphlets, reports, brochures, and information kits. The following was recently posted in this archive: •

NCI FACT SHEET: Red Wine and Cancer Prevention Source: Bethesda, MD: National Cancer Institute. 2002. 2 p. Contact: Available from National Cancer Institute. Publications Ordering Service, P.O. Box 24128, Baltimore, MD 21227. (800) 4-CANCER or (800) 422-6237; TTY: (800) 3328615; FAX: (301) 330-7968. PRICE: Free. Summary: This fact sheet from the National Cancer Institute discusses red wine and its possible use in the prevention of cancer. In a question-and-answer format, it provides information on polyphenols, antioxidant compounds found in the skin and seeds of grapes, and the mechanisms by which they may inhibit the progression of cancer. The fact sheet also focuses on the laboratory evidence of resveratrol, a type of polyphenol, in preventing cancer. The NIH Search Utility

The NIH search utility allows you to search for documents on over 100 selected Web sites that comprise the NIH-WEB-SPACE. Each of these servers is “crawled” and indexed on an ongoing basis. Your search will produce a list of various documents, all of which will relate in some way to wine. The drawbacks of this approach are that the information is not organized by theme and that the references are often a mix of information for professionals

Patient Resources

235

and patients. Nevertheless, a large number of the listed Web sites provide useful background information. We can only recommend this route, therefore, for relatively rare or specific disorders, or when using highly targeted searches. To use the NIH search utility, visit the following Web page: http://search.nih.gov/index.html.

Additional Web Sources

A number of Web sites are available to the public that often link to government sites. These can also point you in the direction of essential information. The following is a representative sample: •

Finding Associations There are several Internet directories that provide lists of medical associations with information on or resources relating to wine. By consulting all of associations listed in this chapter, you will have nearly exhausted all sources for patient associations concerned with wine. The National Health Information Center (NHIC) The National Health Information Center (NHIC) offers a free referral service to help people find organizations that provide information about wine. For more information, see the NHIC’s Web site at http://www.health.gov/NHIC/ or contact an information specialist by calling 1-800-336-4797. Directory of Health Organizations The Directory of Health Organizations, provided by the National Library of Medicine Specialized Information Services, is a comprehensive source of information on associations. The Directory of Health Organizations database can be accessed via the Internet at http://www.sis.nlm.nih.gov/Dir/DirMain.html. It is composed of two parts: DIRLINE and Health Hotlines. The DIRLINE database comprises some 10,000 records of organizations, research centers, and government institutes and associations that primarily focus on health and biomedicine.

APPENDIX C. FINDING MEDICAL LIBRARIES Overview In this Appendix, we show you how to quickly find a medical library in your area.

Preparation Your local public library and medical libraries have interlibrary loan programs with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), one of the largest medical collections in the world. According to the NLM, most of the literature in the general and historical collections of the National Library of Medicine is available on interlibrary loan to any library. If you would like to access NLM medical literature, then visit a library in your area that can request the publications for you.22

Finding a Local Medical Library The quickest method to locate medical libraries is to use the Internet-based directory published by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). This network includes 4626 members and affiliates that provide many services to librarians, health professionals, and the public. To find a library in your area, simply visit http://nnlm.gov/members/adv.html or call 1-800-338-7657.

Medical Libraries in the U.S. and Canada In addition to the NN/LM, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) lists a number of libraries with reference facilities that are open to the public. The following is the NLM’s list and includes hyperlinks to each library’s Web site. These Web pages can provide information on hours of operation and other restrictions. The list below is a small sample of

[NIH] Complement: A term originally used to refer to the heat-labile factor in serum that causes immune cytolysis, the lysis of antibody-coated cells, and now referring to the entire functionally related system comprising at least 20 distinct serum proteins that is the effector not only of immune cytolysis but also of other biologic functions. Complement activation occurs by two different sequences, the classic and alternative pathways. The proteins of the classic pathway are termed 'components of complement' and are designated by the symbols C1 through C9. C1 is a calcium-dependent complex of three distinct proteins C1q, C1r and C1s. The proteins of the alternative pathway (collectively referred to as the properdin system) and complement regulatory proteins are known by semisystematic or trivial names. Fragments resulting from proteolytic cleavage of complement proteins are designated with lower-case letter suffixes, e.g., C3a. Inactivated fragments may be designated with the suffix 'i', e.g. C3bi. Activated components or complexes with biological activity are designated by a bar over the symbol e.g. C1 or C4b,2a. The classic pathway is activated by the binding of C1 to classic pathway activators, primarily antigen-antibody complexes containing IgM, IgG1, IgG3; C1q binds to a single IgM molecule or two adjacent IgG molecules. The alternative pathway can be activated by IgA immune complexes and also by nonimmunologic materials including bacterial endotoxins, microbial polysaccharides, and cell walls. Activation of the classic pathway triggers an enzymatic cascade involving C1, C4, C2 and C3; activation of the alternative pathway triggers a cascade involving C3 and factors B, D and P. Both result in the cleavage of C5 and the formation of the membrane attack complex. Complement activation also results in the formation of many biologically active complement fragments that act as anaphylatoxins, opsonins, or chemotactic factors.
