Traditional flavor chemistry research usually makes use of targeted approaches by focusing on the detection and quantification of key flavor active metabolites that are present in food and beverages. In the last decade, flavoromics has emerged as an alternative to targeted methods where non-targeted and data driven approaches have been used to determine as many metabolites as possible with the aim to establish relationships among the chemical composition of foods and their sensory properties. Flavoromics has been successfully applied in wine research to gain more insights into the impact of a wide range of flavor active metabolites on wine quality. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the applications of flavoromics approaches in wine research based on existing literature mainly by focusing on untargeted volatile profiling of wines and how this can be used as a powerful tool to generate novel insights. We highlight the fact that untargeted volatile profiling used in flavoromics approaches ultimately can assist the wine industry to produce different wine styles and to market existing wines appropriately based on consumer preference. In addition to summarizing the main steps involved in untargeted volatile profiling, we also provide an outlook about future perspectives and challenges of wine flavoromics research.
