This protocol outlines the conditions for the assaying volatile impact compounds in white and red wines by gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS). This method enables the quantification of volatile thiols (3SH: 3-sulfanylhexanol; 3SHA: 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate; 4MSP: 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-one; BM: benzenemethanethiol; E2SA: ethyl 2-sulfanylacetate; and FFT: furfurylthiol), odoriferous oxidation markers (methional, ortho-acetominophenone, and phenylacetaldehyde) in dry white wines, the main furanones and lactones associated with jammy fruit notes in red wines, terpenes (linalool, α-terpineol, nerol, geraniol), C13-norisoprenoids (β-damascenone and β-ionone), and oak wood markers (vanillin, eugenol, whisky lactone, guaiacol, nerol). This method represents an optimization and automation of the one described by Thibon et al (2015).
