The aromatic profiles of eight white wines from Romanian and international grape varieties were analysed to characterize and also differentiate them. All wines come from the Drăgășani vineyard. Monoterpenes, higher alcohols, fatty acids ethyl esters, acetates were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Alcohols were the most abundant class for Sauvignon, Muscat Ottonel varieties, esters for Italian Riesling, Fetească regală varieties. Terpenes (linalool, terpineol, nerol) were identified only in aromatic and semi-aromatic wines - Tâmâioasă românească, Muscat Ottonel and Sauvignon, Fetească regală. According to odor activity values (OAVs), not all of the determined compounds had concentrations higher than their odor thresholds.
