Like "Fleur", acescence is marked by the formation of a film on the surface of the wine-but of a translucent grey rather than white in many instances. "Acetobacter" causes a rapid decrease in alcohol and sugar and produces varying amounts of acetic acid and ethyl acetate which give the wine the disagreeable vinegary taste, thus ruining it. 2, record 4, English, - acescence

L'acescence ou piqûre est une des maladies les plus redoutables. Le vin piqué a un goût et une odeur de vinaigre. Le vin fortement atteint présente à sa surface un voile grisâtre, peu plissé, en couche très mince, bien différente de celle que l'on voit dans les vins fleuris. L'acescence est due au Mycoderma aceti (...) 6, record 4, French, - acescence
