Marketing terroir wines

Abstract

The markets for quality wine are becoming more competitive as newer producers emerge and traditional producers improve their quality. The concept of terroir is one way to differenzi­ate wines in a competitive market and to enhance producer income. However, differentiation of wines is insufficient to assure profitability. If producers are to exploit the concept of ter­roir they will need to develop a sound market plan that identifies and evaluates target mar­kets, describes product attributes and how they meet consumer needs and wants, and estab­lishes appropriate distribution and promotion programs. Both producers and their associa­tions will need credible market research on which to base market decisions. Strategies that emphasize grabbing market share will not enlarge the wine market in the long term. A por­tion of promotional activities should be directed toward exanding all wine consumption.

Distinguishing of red wines from Northwest China by colour-flavour related physico-chemical indexes

Aim: Northwest China occupies an important position in China’s wine regions due to its superior geographical conditions with dry climate and sufficient sunlight. In this work, we aimed to investigate the physico-chemical colour and flavour characteristics of red wine in Northwest China.

Drought tolerance of varieties in semi-arid areas: can the behavior of Tempranillo be improved by varieties of its own lineage?

Tempranillo is the most widely grown red grapevine variety in Spain, currently representing 42% of the total number of red varieties and 21% of the total vineyard area. Due to the economic importance that this variety represents in Spanish viticulture, in some areas where it is traditionally grown, there is a special concern about the viability of the future growing of this variety is being compromised by the climate change effects.

First application of an original methodology created to overcome conflicts between stakeholders in an important wine-growing territory: methodology, results, and perspectives in the application of sustainability EME4.1C

Considering the previous research and activities, also, on Sustainability EME4.1C which, as widely known, considers in a harmonious chain all the factors material, immaterial, moral and spiritual related to all aspects environmental, economic, social, existential, relational, ethical, technical and “MetaEthic” indexed 4.1C

Enhancing plant defense: carbon dots for efficient spray-induced gene silencing 

Ectopic RNA application for plant defense faces challenges in tree crops, including size, diffusion, and stability of active compounds such as ribonucleoproteins and nucleic acids. While existing strategies involve expressing dsRNA in transgenic plants targeting pathogens, our research strives to develop a transient RNAi system based on Spray-Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS). This approach aims to circumvent legal barriers and public concerns associated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Our strategy integrates SIGS with branched polyethyleneimine-functionalized Carbon Dots (bPEI-CDs) as nanocarriers, effectively addressing unique delivery challenges in plant defense as RNA stability and uptake enhancement
