    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of alcoholic fermenting conditions such as sugar content, fermentation temperature and pH on the sensory quality and ethanol content of sugarcane wine (SCW) by response surface methodology. The results from contour plots showed that the maximum ethanol content was around 11% with the initial sugar content at 25.0 degrees Brix, and fermentation at 26.3C and pH 5.5. The results of consumer tests showed that under the fermentation condition with sugar content at 24 degrees Brix or below and higher temperature favored the color acceptance of SCW. While the sugar content above 24 degrees Brix, the lower temperature favored the aroma, flavor and overall preference. Statistical analysis with the central composite rotatable design showed that the total soluble solids of SCW was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with sugar content, pH and fermentation temperature. The sugar content and fermentation temperature significantly (P < 0.05) affected the ethanol content and aroma of SCW, while the pH significantly (P < 0.05) affected the flavor and overall preference. Based on the results of total soluble solids, ethanol contents, consumer tests and confirmative experiments, it was determined that the sugar content at 24-26 degrees Brix, pH at 5.5 and fermentation temperature at 24-27C were the optimal fermentation conditions for SCW
