L’évolution des Appellations d’Origine aux Etats-Unis

Abstract

Un peu d’histoire pour nous efforcer de mettre le sujet des appellations dans un contexte général. Six cents ans avant Jésus-Christ, le Côte du Rhône était plantée en vignes peu après l’arrivée des Grecs. En même temps en Amérique du Nord, un troupeau de bisons broutait dans les Grandes Plaines. Vers 1600, les vins de l’Hermitage et de Côte Rôtie transitent jusqu’à Bordeaux pour le marché anglais. Vers 1600, en même temps, un Indien d’Amérique a tué un bison. L’édit de 1776 a permis la libre circulation des vins partout en France, et la viticulture se développait sans entrave entre Vienne et Avignon. En 1776, les colonies ont déclaré leur indépendance à l’égard de l’Angleterre et la guerre de la révolution a commencé. En 1935, Châteauneuf-du-Pape est devenu la première Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée de France pendant qu’aux Etats-Unis, les Américains terminent l’ère de la Prohibition suite à l’apparition des guerres de gangsters. Presque cinquante ans plus tard, en 1980, la première appellation d’origine était adoptée aux Etats-Unis, au Missouri, dans la même plaine où ce pauvre bison a été tué 400 ans avant. En comparaison de la France, l’industrie du vin aux Etats-Unis est jeune et le système des appellations d’origine est encore plus jeune. Mais, pendant les vingt dernières années, les tendances se précisent et le système aujourd’hui évolue dans de nouvelles directions, qui sont le sujet de cette présentation.

Studio dell’ambiente viticolo attraverso la parametrazione (punto di incrocio) delle curve di maturazione delle uve (pinot nero, oltrepo’ pavese pv italia settentrionale – 45° parallelo Nord)

Sono stati presi in considerazione alcuni dati agrometeorologici dell’Oltrepò Pavese (temperature e piovosità degli ultimi 80 anni) e gli studi delle curve di maturazione condotti in zona sul Pinot nero da spumante negli anni (1988-1991, 1999-2000, 2006-2008), si nota che l’aumento progressivo negli anni delle temperature attive (indice di Winkler) ha determinato un anticipo dell’invaiatura, definita dal parametro “punto di incrocio” (intersezione delle funzioni di zuccheri ed acidità nel tempo), con conseguente anticipo della data di vendemmia di circa 12-15 gg.

French wine sector facing climate change (part. 2) : the implementation of the national strategy

This summary follows this made by Hervé Hannin et al. Entitled “French wine sector facing climate change (part. 1) : a national strategy built on a foresight and participatory approach “. The french wine sector has taken a collective approach to the issue of climate change, and has officially submitted its strategy to the minister of agriculture in 2021. This industry policy is the result of multidisciplinary work carried out through the “laccave” project (metaprogramme accaf, inrae) and its prospective study designed to anticipate climate change in the french wine industry (aigrain p. Et al., 2016). French wine professionals decided to structure a strategy to deal with climate change du in particular to the presentation made at the 2016 OIV congress in Brazil.

Hyperspectral imaging for the appraisal of varietal aroma composition along maturation in intact Vitis vinifera L. Tempranillo Blanco berries

The knowledge of the grape aromatic composition during ripening provides very important information for winegrowers, who may carry out different viticultural practices, or determine the harvest date more accurately. However, there are currently no tools that allow this measurement to be carried out in a non-invasive and rapid way. For this reason, the aim of this work was to design a non-invasive methodology, based on hyperspectral imaging to estimate the aromatic composition and total soluble solids (TSS) of Tempranillo Blanco berries during ripening.

Factors influencing cover crop water competition in vineyards and implications for future drought adaptation

Vineyard water management in Australia is often associated with irrigation in warm and hot climates, but in cooler regions the larger share of the seasonal water demand is met by rainfall.

Re-examination and meta-analysis of previous research as a tool to evaluate the suitability of rootstocks in adaptation to global change. A study case from Spanish viticulture

Meta-analysis (MA) is a method that allows statistical synthesis of the results of several similar individual studies (Figure 1). This term was introduced by Glass in 1976 as a useful tool for the scientific community to pool and summarise the enormous amount of information collected in the literature.
