1,3‐Dimethoxybenzene was identified by GC–O, GC–MS and Kovats indices (polar Supelcowax, 1709; non‐polar Rtx‐5MS, 1158) as a new volatile component of port wine. Sensory evaluation described this compound as having a sweet medicinal odour with hazelnut, resinous and woody notes. Respective threshold limits in model wine and port wine were 21 and 47 µg l −1 . Quantitative analysis by GC–MS, using a selected characteristic ion ( m/z 138), indicated that young port wines from the 1998 vintage contained up to 3 µg l −1 whereas ports from the 1999 vintage contained up to 20 µg l −1 . © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry
