The definition of Volatile Substances was revised in 2000 in a European regulation.
For some types of spirits, the sum of volatile substances is standardized: refer to the European Regulation of Spirits Drinks in force, to the specific specifications of some appellations, or to the regulations or specifications imposed by the importing country.
This article includes the definition, the calculation and the official methods of analysis of these substances.
