Malolactic fermentation of wine is an important process by which the wine gets a slight acid taste and the corresponding esters gives pleasant flavor. This is important in normal and sweet wine. In case of dry wine it can be considered as very insignificant. In this investigation it has been observed that, the wine which are not very expensive, and affordable to any consumer, this fermentation has been stopped and as a result these wine are inferior in flavor and aroma.
