Prise en compte et mutations de l’acidité volatile au XXe siècle : les évolutions règlementaires, scientifiques et qualitatives d’un composé du vin au regard de l’histoire

Abstract

Les composés actifs du vin ont, jusqu’ici, peu fait l’objet d’études sur le temps long. Le développement de l’œnologie, de l’analyse des vins et, de manière concomitante, l’essor des règlementations vinicoles au XXe siècle révèlent pourtant au grand jour le poids de ces composés et leurs évolutions. Dans cette communication, nous souhaitons montrer comment l’acidité volatile des vins, reposant notamment sur la teneur en acide acétique, est passée progressivement, pour des raisons économiques autant que techniques, d’un statut de paramètre inactif à un celui d’un paramètre essentiel dans l’appréciation des vins.  Normé au début du XXe siècle, le taux maximum d’acidité volatile pour les vins destinés à la vente va alors sans cesse évoluer au grès des bouleversement des marchés, des découvertes scientifiques et de la volonté, toujours plus prégnante, d’assurer une qualité minimum aux vins. Ces processus agissent ainsi directement sur l’évolution du goût des productions. En effet, depuis 1921, première grande règlementation française sur la question, les évolutions des taux maximum d’acidité volatile autorisés (à la hausse, comme, plus récemment à la baisse) contribueront à modifier le palais des dégustateurs et, in fine, à transformer la perception de la qualité des vins. Cette communication s’appuiera en particulier sur le dépouillement de publications scientifiques du XXe siècle, sur des documents historiques officiels traitant des règlementations, mais également sur un certain nombre d’archives d’organismes professionnels témoins ou acteurs de ces changements.

Diversity of leaf functioning under water deficit in a large grapevine panel: high throughput phenotyping and genetic analyses

Water resource is a major limiting factor impacted by climate change that threatens grapevine production and quality. Understanding the ecophysiological mechanisms involved in the response to water deficit is crucial to select new varieties more drought tolerant. A major bottleneck that hampers such advances is the lack of methods for measuring fine functioning traits on thousands of plants as required for genetic analyses. This study aimed at investigating how water deficit affects the trade-off between carbon gains and water losses in a large panel representative of the Vitis vinifera genetic diversity. 250 genotypes were grown under 3 watering scenarios (well-watered, moderate and severe water deficit) in a high-throughput phenotyping platform.

Interest and impact of PVP/PVI (Polyvinylpyrrolidone/ Polyvinylimidazole) on winemaking and final quality of wines

Céline Sparrow a, Christophe Morge a, a SOFRALAB SAS, 79, av. A.A. Thévenet – CS 11031 – 51530 Magenta, France Consumers’ health and security force authorities to limit, in wine as in others food industry products, the concentration in « dangerous » molecules. Therefore the legal limit in heavy metals keeps on decreasing. As per proof EU regulation just decrease the stain concentration in wine from 0,2 to 0,15 mg/l. Certain changes , such as sodium arsenite treatment in vines, disappearance of brass in wineries to the benefit of stainless steel, limit even more the concentration of heavy metals in wines. But the use of copper derivates in vines treatments is difficult to replace. In the case of wine and its elaboration, the problem is even more complex. Indeed, regulation forces the wine producers to control the concentration of certain heavy metals in final wines.

Carbon isotope discrimination in berry juice sugars: changes in response to soil water deficits across a range of vitis vinifera cultivars

In wine producing regions around the world, climate change has the potential to decrease the frequency and amount of precipitation and increase average and extreme temperatures. This will lower soil water availability and increase evaporative demand, thereby increasing the frequency and intensity of water deficit experienced in vineyards. Among other things, grapevines manage water deficit by regulating stomatal closure. The dynamics of this regulation, however, have not been well characterized across the range of Vitis vinifera cultivars. Providing a method to understand how different cultivars regulate their stomata, and hence water use in response to changes in soil water deficits will help growers manage vineyards and select plant material to better meet quality and yield objectives in a changing climate.
