sac·cha·ride

(sak'ă-rīd),
Any substance that is either a simple sugar (aldose or ketose) or a compound of such substances in glycosidic linkage to each other. Saccharides are classified as mono-, di-, tri-, and polysaccharides according to the number of monosaccharide groups composing them. See: carbohydrates.

In the biosynthesis of these compounds, the glycosidic bonds cannot be formed by the direct dehydration reactions of saccharide units and its aglycon parts.
Various methods have been used for determining the concentration of these two saccharides such as spectrophotometry [8, 9], polarimetry [10], high performance liquid chromatography [11], and infrared spectroscopy [12].

vinifera cultivars may extend beyond polyphenols, and these differences may be extended to organic acids and saccharides. We postulate that although regarding some of these features, wines produced from hybrid cultivars may show unique properties, their general composition is similar to traditional red wines.
