A smoke taint reduction tool to help the Australian wine industry recognise the danger periods for smoke taint in wine has been developed by researchers at the Department of Agriculture and Food and The University of Western Australia.
Associate Professor Michael Renton, from UWA's School of Plant Biology, said the Smoke Taint Risk calculator, or STAR, would be a major asset for the wine industry in reducing the risk of smoke taint from burning off or bush fires.
STAR can be accessed online and for more details visit DAFWA .
