The 5th edition of the International Conference Series on Wine Active Compounds (WAC) will be held from 29 June to 1 July 2022 (Dijon, France). All authors with accepted abstracts will have the possibility to publish either a short 4-pages article or a...

Microplastics can alter physicochemical and biogeochemical processes in the soil, but whether these changes have further effects on soil fertility, and if so, whether these effects vary depending on the type of soil in the vineyard and the type of plastic used in the vineyard. Knowing what types of plastics are currently used in vineyards in Slovenian viticultural regions as strings to tie vines to the stake, the aim of our study was to assess the effects of microplastic particles from polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) on the availability of macro (potassium (K), Potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and phosphate (P)) and micronutrients (iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn)) in two vineyard soils contrasting in pH and mineralogy. For this purpose, a short-term soil incubation experiment (120 days) was carried out in which the soil samples were enriched with micro-PP and micro-PVC particles. After the incubation period, macro- and micronutrient availability were measured.

For several years, the development of computer resources, and in particular of Geographic Information Systems, have allowed the emergence of a new approach to the analysis and characterization of wine-growing areas (Morlat, 1989; Laville, 1990). These methods, which make it possible to identify homogeneous areas or units of terroir, are based on crossing, statistical analysis (in particular Principal Component Analysis: PCA) and the integration of parameters describing the natural environment in which develop the vine.

Vineyard yield estimation brings several advantages to the entire wine industry. It can provide useful information to support decision making regarding bunch thinning practices, harvest logistics and marketing strategies, as well as to manage stored wine and cellar tanks allocation. Today, this estimation is performed mainly using manual methods based on destructive bunch sampling.

The analysis of consumer attitudes towards wine, especially towards wines perceived as faulty, is an aspect that requires more research than has been carried out so far [1]. This study aims to analyse consumer behaviour in situations involving the consumption of faulty wines and to assess the level of acceptance of such wines.
