Background: Spine grape has gained attention in the field of wine science due to its goodgrowth characteristics. Spine grape wine has been made by local residents for a long time.However, the scientific evaluation of spine wine has not been systemically documented comparedto Vitis vinifera grape winesMethods: We compared 11 spine wines from south China (W1–W11) with 7 high-quality internationalwines (W12–W18). The total phenolic content, the total anothcyanin content and theantioxidant activity of these wines were analyzed and compared. Meanwhile, anthocyanin profilesof these wines were also documented.Results: Compared with other wines most of the spine wines had a strong red intensity with ablue hue. Malvidin-3,5-O-diglucoside and malvidin-3-O-(6-O-coumaroyl)-glucoside-5-glucosideappeared to be the major anthocyanins in these wines. The scavenging capacity analyses ofthese wines using ABTS, DPPH, and CUPRAC assays indicated that spine wines possessed highantioxidant properties, especially spine wine W3, W4, W6 and W8. Their high antioxidant propertieswere mainly related to the high levels of the total phenolic content and anthocyanins.Conclusion: These results suggested that spine wine might be considered a good wine source forthe Chinese wine industry and provided useful information on the knowledge of spine grape.
