Abstract

The solera system for ageing wines and spirits is a dynamic method in which the contents of the upper casks (younger) is slowly mixed with that of the lower casks (older) until it is bottled. In this article, a graphical method generated with a spreadsheet is proposed. The time/age evolution of all levels of the solera system can thus be tracked and visualized.

Author Biography

Ciril Jimeno, Institut de Química Avançada de Catalunya - Consell Superior d’Investigacions Científiques (IQAC-CSIC)

Ciril Jimeno obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Barcelona in 2001 under the supervision of M. A. Pericàs, working on asymmetric catalysis, which has been his main topic of research since then. He underwent post-doctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) in 2001-2002 and at the University of Berne (Switzerland) in 2008, and was a research associate at the Catalan Institute of Chemical Research (ICIQ, Tarragona, 2003-2007 and 2009-2010). He subsequently joined IQAC-CSIC in Barcelona, where he currently holds the position of tenured scientist. His main research interests combine asymmetric catalysis and supramolecular chemistry.
