S. industry.Acknowledgments: The authors express their thanks to the other members of the Wine Institute Technical Committee: Terry Lee (Committee Chair), Greg Hodson, Wendell Lee, Anil Shrikhande, Jim Walls, John Franzia, Tom Smith, James Huntsinger, Kathy Meechan, Richard Peterson, Michael Martini, Glenn Proctor, David Stevens, and Elie Skofis.
