Abstract

The early forecasting of normal and problematic wine fermentations is one of the main problems of winemaking processes, due to its significant impacts in wine quality and utility. In Chile this is a critical problem because it is one of the top ten wine-producing countries. In this chapter, we review the computational intelligence methods that have been applied to solve this problem. Both methods studied, support vector machines and artificial neural networks, show excellent results with respect to the overall prediction error for different training/testing/validation percentages, different time cutoffs, and several parameter configurations. These results are of great importance for wine production because they are based only on measurement of classical chemical variables and they confirm that computational intelligence methods are a useful tool to the winemakers in order to correct in time a potential problem in the fermentation process.
