These averaged PLS coefficients should be regarded as an <strong>in</strong>dex (ra<strong>the</strong>r than an absolute) as <strong>the</strong>y reflect<br />

both <strong>the</strong> predicted <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> compositional variable (i.e. pH, A280) and <strong>the</strong> consistency <strong>of</strong> its effect<br />

across both years. Lower pH was generally associated with higher astr<strong>in</strong>gency and acidity, and lower<br />

perceived viscosity. Higher TA was related to lower perception <strong>of</strong> astr<strong>in</strong>gency, viscosity and bitterness.<br />

The lower bitterness is probably <strong>the</strong> result <strong>of</strong> suppression by acidity (Pangborn et al. 1964). Higher<br />

ethanol was associated with greater bitterness and viscosity. Ethanol has a bitter-sweet <strong>taste</strong> (Sc<strong>in</strong>ska et<br />

al. 2000), and may also contribute to w<strong>in</strong>e viscosity (Gawel et al. 2008).
