DescriptionCaffeic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid related to cinnamic acid, a type of polyphenol. It is an abundant phenolic phytochemical found in plant cell wall components. It is present in beer and wine. Caffeic acid is decarboxylated to 4-vinylcatechol during wine fermentation by certain strains of yeast. Vinylphenols then spontaneously condensate with grape anthocyanins (mainly malvidin-3-O-glucoside) to form pigments important for the color of ageing wine. [PMID: 17303275]
