Landscape marketing and landscape reality: what is the relationship? The case of the Loire Valley vineyards

Abstract

This issue poses two questions: the relationship between beauty and taste (is landscape quality an index of wine quality ?), and the gap or the conformity between our image of the “terroir” and the visible reality. The landscape is both an object and a representation. When it is presented as a advertising image, there is inevitably a choice; to show the attractive aspects of the product and to exacerbate them. It results in an aesthetic construction process which is not or no longer faithful to the original landscape. It can be positive when it encourages a discovery; on the other hand, it can be negative when it betrays an identity, and finally it can also lead those managing the territory to modify the identity of their vineyard landscape.
The Chinon vineyard is an example of an approach in the hypothesis that there is a relationship between taste and landscape. The Anjou vineyard is a second example, which characterises a gap between a showcase and a landscape reality.

Comparison of the skin resistance of several grape varieties in relation to their physico-chemical properties

The purpose of this study is to compare the skin resistance (SR) of the grapes with physico-chemical propertiess using a stong dataset and multidimentional statistical analysis .
A recent study has shown the role skin resistance plays against pest invasion but skin resistance could be a useful agronomic parameter, for example in the choice of the type of winemaking, by influencing the quantity of juice during crushing and maceration.

Effect of the addition of polysaccharides extracted for grape pomace and must on sensory and chemical composition of white wines

AIM: The objective of this work is to study the effect of the addition of polysaccharides extracted for grape pomace by-products and musts on sensory and chemical composition of white wines. Much of the waste obtained in the wine sector is not used, and they can have some valuable compounds, such as the polysaccharides (PS).

INSIGHT THE IMPACT OF GRAPE PRESSING ON MUST COMPOSITION

The pre-fermentative steps play a relevant role for the characteristics of white wine [1]. In particular, the grape pressing can affect the chemical composition and sensory profile and its optimized management leads to the desired extraction of aromas and their precursors, and phenols resulting in a balanced wine [2-4]. These aspects are important especially for must addressed to the sparkling wine as appropriate extraction of phenols is expected being dependent to grape composition, as well.
