Y. Vasserot et al., Effect of bottle capacity and bottle-cap permeability to oxygen on dimethylsulfide formation in champagne wines during aging on the lees, AM J ENOL V, 52(1), 2001, pp. 54-55
During aging on the fees, dimethylsulfide accumulates more rapidly when low
oxygen permeability bottle caps are used. Dimethylsulfide formation is als
o influenced by bottle capacity, and it could result from an increase in th
e reduction of wine dimethyl sulfoxide.
