The Refošk and Teran recognized traditional appellation (PTP) wines come from the same grape variety, 'Refošk'. Since it is the same variety, one could say that the wine will be the same in terms of taste, color and content of individual components. Of course, this is not entirely true, and there can be many other factors that can strongly influence the structure and composition of the grapes and later the wine. In our master's thesis, we focused on researching the antioxidant properties of Refošk wine from the Primorska region. Above all, we wanted to find out the difference between the Teran PTP and Refošk wines, which differ from each other primarily in their geographical origin. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of
various factors such as geographical origin, climatic conditions, production method (integrated and organic) and age of the wine on the antioxidant properties. The results show that there is a statistically significant difference in antioxidant content between Refošk wine and Teran PTP. We also related these differences to the production method and vintage of the wine. The focus was on the content of total and individual phenolic compounds and the color parameters of the wine, which are related to each other and are crucial for the
antioxidant potential of the wine. The content of total phenolic compounds in Refoška wine was 2.23 times higher than in Teran PTP wine. This difference was also known for individual parameters such as tannins and flavonoids. Refošk and Teran PTP were most similar in the color parameters, where no difference was found except for color intensity. The color intensity was higher in Refošk wine than in Teran PTP.
