Reconnaissance des vins de terroir par les consommateurs

Abstract

Aborder la notion de vins de terroir au niveau de la consommation pose un problème du fait de l’absence de définition réglementaire du terme terroir, qui n’est repris ni au niveau communautaire ni au niveau national (le Code de la Consommation notamment ne définit pas le terroir). Toutefois, quelle que soit la définition que l’on adopte pour le terroir, on peut retenir au niveau du consommateur une identification du terroir au travers des différentes mentions géographiques figurant sur les étiquettes ou dans les rayons du linéaire vin. A ce point de vue il est clair que dans le secteur viticole les Appellations d’Origine et les vins de pays (VDP) font, consciemment ou non, de l’effet terroir. Ainsi, si cet effet terroir n’est pas commercialisé directement auprès des consommateurs, il est quand même véhiculé (au moins partiellement) par les notions d’AOC, de VDQS, et de VDP (notamment de petite zone). La connaissance et la reconnaissance des vins de terroir par le consommateur sont donc abordées ici au travers des concepts d’Appellation d’Origine et de vins de pays et ceci sous trois angles différents; à savoir :
• la connaissance de ces concepts telle qu’elle ressort de l’enquête sur la consommation de vins par les Français réalisée par l’INRA et l’ONIVINS en 1995,
• la multiplicité des identifiants et l’émiettement des volumes, qui placent le consommateur face à un linéaire vin comportant un nombre particulièrement élevé de références,
• le chevauchement des zones de prix entre les différentes catégories de vins qui complique le choix du consommateur au moment de l’acte d’achat.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
