This research presents results on the implementation of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and a low-cost electronic nose (e-nose) coupled with machine learning to detect and assess wine faults. For this purpose, red and white base wines were used, and treatments consisted of spiked samples with 12 faults that are traditionally formed in wines. Results showed high accuracy in the classification models using NIR and e-nose for red wines (94\u201396%; 92\u201397%, respectively) and white wines (96\u201397%; 90\u201397%, respectively). Implementing new and emerging digital technologies could be a turning point for the winemaking industry to become more predictive in terms of decision-making and maintaining and increasing wine quality traits in a changing and challenging climate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22062303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,16]],"date-time":"2022-03-16T22:15:04Z","timestamp":1647468904000},"page":"2303","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Digital Assessment and Classification of Wine Faults Using a Low-Cost Electronic Nose, Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Modelling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9207-9307","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Gonzalez Viejo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Digital Agriculture, Food and Wine Group, School of Agriculture and Food, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC 3010, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0377-5085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sigfredo","family":"Fuentes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Digital Agriculture, Food and Wine Group, School of Agriculture and Food, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC 3010, Australia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1017\/jwe.2020.20","article-title":"Brettanomics I: The cost of Brettanomyces in California wine production","volume":"16","author":"Alston","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
