The evolution of histamine and tyramine in four Spanish wines was monitored during storage in unsealed bottles at 4°C to 6°C, 20°C to 24°C, and 30°C to 35°C for 93 to 125 days. Biogenesis of these two amines was not evident in any of the wines under those conditions of spoilage, but two wines showed a decrease in their amine contents. The changes of total sulfur dioxide and volatile acidity had no effect in the evolution of amines.
Key words: biogenic amines, histamine, tyramine, wine spoilage
