Comportement du cépage Mourvèdre dans l’aire d’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée de Bandol

Certain yeast species belonging to the Pichia genus are known to form a distinctive film on grape must and wine. In a mixed-culture type fermentation, Pichia spp. (P. kluyveri in particular) are known to impart beneficial oenological attributes. In this study, we report on an easy isolation method of Pichia spp. from grape must by exploiting their film-forming capacity on media containing 10% ethanol. We isolated and identified two Pichia species, namely Pichia kudriavzevii and Pichia kluyveri, and subsequently co-inoculated them with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ferment Gewürztraminer musts. Noteworthy differences included a significant increase in the 2-phenethyl acetate levels with the P. kluyveri co-fermentation and a general increase in ethyl esters with the P. kudriavzevii co-fermentation. Both Pichia co-inoculations yielded higher levels of glycerol in the final wines. Based on all the wine parameters we tested, the P. kluyveri strain that was isolated performed similarly to a commercial P. kluyveri strain.

The indigenous Greek grape varieties Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Moschofilero and Roditis are used to produce white wines that are attracting the interest of wine producers and consumers due to their aromatic characteristics [1]. In addition, the Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro varieties are Greece’s most prominent red grape varieties.

Emerging from anthropology, climatology, ecology, gastronomy, geography and wine tourism, terroir tourism has been recently recognized to have potential for developing rural agriculture tourism

Le terme ”Albariza” (du latin “albus“, blanc) déterminait à l’origine un type particulier du terrain calcaire, mais à présent il sert aussi à définir les sols et la bibliographie géologique actuelle le cite également pour de roches sédimentaires originaires du Neogene Betic.

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.
