Zoning of viticulture in Yugoslavia

Abstract

The last official zoning of Viticulture in Yugoslavia was performed 1978. year, when (according to recommendation of OIV and European Economic Community), regions, sub regions and vineyards districts were established supposing that the varieties which will be exhibit ail the positive agro biological and technological characteristics. Taking into account relief, climate, soil, tradition, agro ecological and agro economic conditions for grape production, in Yugoslavia were postulated the next viticultural areas:

  1. Viticultural region. Region is defined as wider Viticultural area which has similar climate, soil and other properties which are necessary for successful growing of vine.
  2. Viticultural sub region. Sub region is a narrow area which belong to the region but exhibit some of the ecological component is completely different which leads to the stronger differentiation in grape yield and in a quality of wine.
  3. Vineyard district. Present fundamental territorial unit which taking into account agro ecological properties can be defined as a compact homogenous vineyard totality.
    Agroecological selectivity of vine varieties
    Taking into account zonal criteria, vine varieties are selected in next three groups:
    1. Recommended varieties.
    2. Permitted varieties
    3. Forbidden varieties.
    ln Yugoslavia legitimately permitted the production of the next quality categories of wine:
    1. Top wines with geographical origine.
    2. Quality wines with geographical origine.
    3. Table wines with geographical origine.
    4. Table wines without geographical origine
    For all produced categories of wine the legitimate law conditions must be respected in order to be consumed or domestic or foreign market.

Characterization of vine performance using remote sensing tools

Today, a variety of remote sensing tools are used to characterise plant performance. However, the vine is rarely studied, as a major crop specificity is canopy discontinuity. Registered images of the vineyard are anisotropic, therefore difficult to analyse.

Drought tolerance assessment and differentiation of grapevine cultivars using physiological metrics: insights from field studies

This study aimed to validate a protocol and compare metrics for evaluating drought tolerance in two Vitis vinifera grapevine cultivars under field conditions. Various metrics were calculated to represent the physiological responses of plants to progressive water deficit. Data were collected from Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay plants subjected to three irrigation levels during the 2022-2023 season, along with data from three previous seasons. Hydro-escape areas were used to assess the plant’s ability to reduce water potential with decreasing soil water availability.

Does the location of wine cellars have significant impact on the evolution of madeira wine polyphenols?

Unlike table wines, Madeira Wine (MW,17-22% ABV) benefits from a long aging period under thermo-oxidative aging conditions, during which it gains its unique and complex flavour. A broad study is ongoing and aims to assess if the differences in the storage conditions impact significantly the evolution of MWs during canteiro aging. Considering that polyphenols have a significant role in the wine aging, we intended to appraise if there are significant differences in the evolution trends of polyphenols of MWs aging in different cellars under canteiro. Different MWs were aged into brand-new oak casks in two different wine cellars, one in Funchal (B) and other in Caniçal (Z). Temperature and humidity data were sensor recorded. RP-HPLC-DAD was used to perform the identification and quantification of polyphenols [1]. CIELab parameters were also assessed, using an UV-Vis spectrophotometer.
