Error in Figure
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 8. Specifically, the label reported in the grey bar on the x-axis as “Wine + 1.5 nM BSA” was incorrect and should be “Wine + 1.5 nM HSA”. The corrected Figure 8 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. Moreover, in the originally published version, the vertical axis was labelled as τ2 (ns), which could be misleading. Although τ2 refers to a fluorescence lifetime component, the plotted values represent the relative variation expressed as a percentage contribution of the lifetime, rather than an absolute lifetime value in nanoseconds. For this reason, the vertical axis label has been revised in the corrected version as “Lifetime %” to indicate the percentage of lifetime variation, in order to accurately reflect the nature of the reported data.

Real sample testing by means of 1×Fluo-nanoMIP nanosensors. White bars: wine sample; Gray bar: wine sample spiked with a known concentration of albumin; Dark-gray bar: wine sample spiked with a known concentration of HTR as an example of unrelated protein.
These corrections were approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
