  Esters  What are esters? They are organic compounds containing R groups derived from two different molecules - one a carboxylic acid and another an alcohol. Because these molecules differ in structure and properties, the name of an ester will usually reflect this. For example, ethyl acetate gets its name from its ethyl group. Similarly, an acetate is obtained by replacing the -ic acid in the parent acetic acid with -ate. A carboxylic ester is formed by substituting a hydrogen atom in a carboxylic acid with an organic group, usually derived from alcohol. Its general formula is RCOOR', with the alcohol and acid names derived from the carboxylic acid and alcohol. Examples of these include ethyl acetate and ethanoate. Other common example are ethyl propanoate, ethyl methanoate, and ethyl propanoate. Some wines contain higher concentrations of them than others. It is possible for a wine to have a higher concentration of ethyl acetate than an equivalent wine made with a low-s...
