Part of the carbon source like glucose and fructose is dedicated to the production of lactic acid. As a result, ethanol
production can decrease.

With high pH, malolactic fermentation (MLF) can occur spontaneously before the end of alcohol fermentation and possibly trigger a
sensorial defect. When linked with citrate degradation to diacetyl, MLF can give a buttery and fatty flavor that is antagonistic to
freshness and masks fruit intensity in white and rosé wines.
