This review tries to establish the origin of anthocyanins and</div><div>tannins by looking at metabolic pathways and attempting to establish a link between photosynthesis and</div><div>the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, the translocation thereof from leaves to berries, different methods to</div><div>extract anthocyanins and tannins from wine and, in the end, the different analytical methods that can be</div><div>used to analyse for anthocyanins and tannins.</div>
