In the present study, we compared a simplified small-scale purification protocol to obtain DNA admixtures out of wine, with our large-scale published method. The extraction methods must provide DNA free of PCR inhibitors, that can interfere with DNA amplification. To evaluate the efficiency of grapevine's nuclear DNA extraction from wine, the new protocol was also compared in terms of purity and yield to the DNA obtained out of grapevine's (Vitis vinifera) leaf tissue, using a commercial kit. Two single-copy nuclear genes, nine-cis-epoxy carotenoid dioxygenase 2 (NCED2), and prefoldin subunit 5-like (PS5) were amplified in DNA extracted from wine and grapevine by real-time TaqMan PCR to determine the presence of inhibitors in relation to the diversity of starting biological matrix. This study showed that the small-scale, simpler method for extracting DNA from wine produced effective results in terms of inhibitor presence and purity. Furthermore, even though the initial biological matrix was more complicated, the grapevine nuclear DNA that was removed from wine was qualitatively equivalent to the DNA that was isolated from the leaves.
