Proizvodnja vina često se nosi s problemima koje uzrokuju različite vrste plijesni. Mnoge od njih djeluju štetno jer uzrokuju različite bolesti ili izlučuju toksične i potencijalno zdravstveno opasne spojeve te smanjuju ukupni prinos i kvalitetu vina. Najznačajnije među njima su plijesni Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp. i Botrytis cinerea. Međutim, Botrytis cinerea može doprinijeti i značajnom poboljšanju organoleptičkih svojstava vina i omogućiti proizvodnju cijenjenih predikatnih vina. U ovom radu, na osnovu postojećih literaturnih izvora i spoznaja, opisano je pozitivno i negativno djelovanje prisustva plijesni na konačne karakteristike vina.
