The high content of acetic acid in wine testifies to the wine having been spoiled by aerobic acetic bacteria. Every wine contains acetic acid, and spoilage occurs only after a certain limit value is exceeded. 

The measurement of acetic acid content in wine is replaced the measurement of volatile acidity. The measurement provides information on how many grams of acetic acid are in the wine.
