Are genetically-modified wine grapes in our future? Researchers at UC Davis and the University of Adelaide, Australia have found an enzyme that help turn vitamin C into tartaric acid which plays an important role in winemaking. Wine won't be replacing orange juice for your Vitamin C needs any time soon but it is an interesting step as the art of winemaking and science begin to inform each other.
