Data on the sensory evaluation of the dry red and white wines quality obtained by traditional technologies from European and hybrid grape varieties in the Krasnodar Territory, Russia

The analysis of data on the sensory evaluation of the quality of wines obtained using traditional technologies in the Krasnodar Territory, Russia, was carried out using the statistical ranking criteria – the Spearman and Kendall correlation coefficients, as well as the positional analysis – Cronbach's alpha. Data on the sensory evaluation of 60 samples of natural dry red and white wines are presented, among which 20 are white wines, 40 are red wines produced in 2010–2015. Eleven specialists aged between 32 and 66 years (the average age was 50 years; 4 females and 7 males) participated in the sensory evaluation procedure. All participants are considered experts in the field of wine, work in the wine industry and have professional experience in the field of sensory analysis. The results of the consistency study of expert evaluations, the reliability of the general score scale, as well as the analysis of the loyalty of experts in the wine quality assessment are presented in the article. The reliability of the proposed loyalty scale is shown, i.e., the scale of the sum of scores given by each expert in the evaluation of the quality of wines. The database on the sensory evaluation of the quality of wines, obtained for all wine samples using positional analysis, makes it possible to assess the contribution of each of the 60 wine samples to their ranking by mean scores. The data may be of interest to scientists and oenologists for the wine quality assessment.
