Abstract
Wine production often deals with problems caused by different types of mould. Many of them are harmful because they cause various diseases or secrete toxic and potentially hazardous compounds that reduce the overall yield and quality of wine. The most important among them are the moulds Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp. and Botrytis cinerea. However, Botrytis cinerea can also contribute to a significant improvement in the organoleptic properties of wine and enable the production of prized predicate wines. In this paper, based on existing literature sources and knowledge, the positive and negative effects of the presence of mould on the final characteristics of wine are described.
