Typologie des paysages de vigne: un outil de planification

In order for a spatialized gestion of wine-producing areas, delineation of viticultural zones is needed. Viticultural zoning according to qualitative expression of varieties is a great concern

Calcium-induced instabilities present a major challenge in bottled wines, with calcium tartrate (CaT) precipitation becoming increasingly common due to rising calcium levels in grape must, largely driven by climate change. Although CaT is an insoluble salt, its instability— although less frequent than potassium hydrogen tartrate (KHT) precipitation—is more difficult to predict and control, as it develops gradually over time.

Knowledge of the reflectance spectrum of grape leaves is important to the identification of grape varieties in images of viticultural regions where several cultivars co-exist.

The first South African wine was made by Jan van Riebeeck on the second of February 1659. His initial determination to produce wine at the Cape refreshment station was continued by other governors

Grapevine (Vitis Vinifera L.), one of the most important cultivated fruit crops, is facing significant challenges due to climate change. Specifically, increasing temperatures negatively impact the physiological traits and disrupt plant phenology. Additionally, increased virulence in pathogen attacks and pests leads to significant yield loss, requiring widespread application of plant protection products. Traditional agronomic practices offer only partial mitigation, requiring the development of precise and effective intervention strategies. The economic worth of viticulture has prompted continuous efforts in grapevine genetic improvement programs, traditionally involving conventional breeding and clonal selection that, however, are complex and time-consuming approaches.
