description New techniques are required to replace the use of sulfur dioxide (SO<sub>2</sub>) or of sterilizing filtration in wineries, due to those methods’ drawbacks. Pulsed electric fields (PEF) is a technology capable of inactivating microorganisms at low temperatures in a continuous flow with no detrimental effect on food properties. In the present study, PEF technology was evaluated for purposes of microbial decontamination of red wines after alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, respectively. PEF combined with SO<sub>2</sub> was evaluated in terms of microbial stability and physicochemical parameters over a period of four months. Furthermore, the effect of PEF on the sensory properties of red wine was compared with the sterilizing filtration method. Results showed that up to 4.0 Log<sub>10</sub> cycles of <i>S. cerevisiae</i> and <i>O. oeni</i> could be eradicated by PEF and sublethal damages and a synergetic effect with SO<sub>2</sub> were also observed, respectively. After 4 months, wine treated by PEF after alcoholic fermentation was free of viable yeasts; and less than 100 CFU/mL of <i>O. oeni</i> cells were viable in PEF-treated wine added with 20 ppm of SO<sub>2</sub> after malolactic fermentation. No detrimental qualities were found, neither in terms of oenological parameters, nor in the sensory parameters of wines subjected to PEF after storage time.
